Bob, I'm preparing myself for Turning Stone. If I would have went up to New York City, I may have burned myself out. I've been planning on the Turning Stone for over 6 months now. I can't play tournaments back to back like I did when I was 20 years old. It usually takes me a week to recover...

The IPT sounds like a real good thing. If it does happen, I'll start practicing every day, and I will get my game in tip-top shape. I think if we had that kind of money, everybody else will do the same. I'd love to be playing somebody for 200,000. Wouldn't that be nice! :D As far as...

Karambolista, I guess the people who use the cross-over bridge are comfortable with its feel. I've tried it a couple of times and never liked it. I have a lot of different feels with my bridge hand. A lot of my shots, I use my bridge hand to help me shoot the balls in accurately by...

Saintsfan, I remember that game with Ricky P. on the bar table, with Jason and Corey. That was a lot of fun. Last time I saw Jason Lafleur was in Las Vegas. He was playing in the bar table league tournament. I always liked coming to Houma, and hopefully I'll make it back there sometime soon...

Silk, I developed my stance from being small when I was a kid. Taller people usually stand straight up and down. Smaller people seem to bend more over the table. I believe a person's stance goes with their own personal feel. What works for me may not work for another, but I do emphasize to...

I had a good time at Hagerstown playing in the tournament. I was in Richmond when you guys had the next tournament. Otherwise, I would have been there for sure. I read that it was good finish. Looking forward to seeing at the next Hagerstown tournament. Thanks for your kind words. :) Keith

It's coming along. Lately, my girlfriend has had a lot of work to do, so it's been real slow-going. When we roll it out to publishing, I'll be making an announcement for sure. Thanks again for your interest and for acknowledging me. :) Keith

As far as Knoxville goes, B. is not there anymore. He's down there in New Orleans, and I haven't been to Knoxville in 10 years or more. Vagabond, I don't know who you are, but I'd like to be able to negotiate my own pool games. Preferably, I'd rather be playing at Hard Times in Bellflower...

Ronnie, you got action. My travel schedule is sort of up in the air right now, but I do intend on being at the Derby City Classic in Louisville this coming January, which is a neutral site. My backer and I will have to discuss what kind of games we are going to play for the 20 grand, and then...

Raemondo, I haven't really experienced a whole bunch of jump cues, but Jose Parica told me the Bungee was the best. I hit a couple balls with them, and they do jump over the balls real good. So I would suggest that you try that one out. I asked Jose which is the best jump cue, and he's a firm...

I remember that match. Harry and I were playing in between Ronnie Allen, and Ronnie would have to shoot one shot two-handed and the other shot one-handed. We played 5 grand a set and put up for 2 sets. Me and Harry ended up winning the money, but it was funny dealing with Ronnie. Ronnie was...

I remember Galaxy Billiards. It was a riot over there. Everybody liked to party. I did play pretty good at that tournament, and there were quite a few good players there, too. I haven't been able to make it out that way, but Texas seems to be a good place for me to roam. I've always liked...

I'm not a master in what it takes to run a pool hall, but I know location is very important. I think you can make some money if you get near a nice college where you have a lot of kids who like to play pool. It's a good idea to run a weekly event for the regulars, but cater to the kids most of...

Jack, thanks for the link. It was good seeing you in Valley Forge. I wish I had had more time to talk. Those were the good old days 25 years ago. We sure did have fun! I remember a couple of close matches that you and I had, and I think you beat me a few times, too. Remember the Golden Cue...

Ronnie, the last time I played Reed Pierce, we put up 20,000. He ended up beating me. It took him a long time to beat me, but he did. I don't mind gambling with Reed if the timing is right. If my backer is there and his backer is there, fine, but I wouldn't play no cheaper than I did the...

I believe you're right, Scott. I think if we were both getting paid, we'd really have a good time! :D But if it was winner take all, I don't know! :eek: I just saw Danny in Philadelphia, and he beat me in the finals and played well. Danny is one of the soaring pool players of today and is...

Floppybear, I plan on getting out to the Bay area sooner or later. I have some good friends in there as well that I'd like to see again. The Cue Club was a nice spot. Moe, he was a sweetheart, wasn't he! They don't gamble like that anymore, unless you go South. As you know, I won some and...

VonRhett, I haven't seen Sean since those days in Nashville either. He was a nice kid and a good player himself. I let him stay at my house, I think as you know, and he was very well mannered. A good guy to bet on, too! ;)

Hi, Joey. I haven't been making the rounds on the local scene lately, but I plan to start trying to get out a little bit more because I have a lot of events coming up. If you get a chance, check out the Thursday night tournament at First Break in Sterling, VA. Brandon Shuff runs the...

Jack and I never played, but I saw him playing real good in Las Vegas. He ran a couple of 6's and 7's on a few guys. There's no telling how straight he shoots! He's a little bit of a strange bird, but he's okay by me. I'm planning on being at the Glass City Open in November, and if time...
