Phil, thanks for your compliments. I plan on going to the Open this year, and it would be my pleasure to play you a few games. Come up to me and introduce yourself, and we'll take it from there! :)

Grady, I read your post, and in an effort to not lower myself to your level on this forum, I am going to try to respond. I have read many of your ramblings in the past, and I feel sorry for you. I wish you could play like you did 25 years ago, then nothing would bother you. It seems like...

Hey, Walter. It looks like I did have a little bit of a flashback on you. I think if they would have had Accu-Stats on that match, I would have shot a 1000 and you would have shot 970, which is a real good score for either one of us. I wish they would have continued the tournament after I got...

Jamie, I will definitely be down there within the year sometime. Looking forward to that Southern hospitality. There's always been some type of action in Louisiana. All the action from what I heard is in New Orleans and Mobile. Maybe I'll see you in one of those spots! ;)

Tara, happy to hear from you again. That's good news that you're doing well on the APA. E-mail me your address again, so that I can get that photo out to you. :) Your friend, Keith

I can't picture you offhand, but I don't know who has your cue. I'm sure I didn't take it. If it was in somebody else's car, they probably got it because I sure didn't. It's been a while since I've been over there at the Stagger. Sort of miss my old buddy over there, Don Purcy. :)

It's pretty important to have a stroke, but the knowledge needed to create the stroke comes first. The main thing is learning all the hits on the cue-ball, different englishes and ball speeds. After you've acquired that stroke and knowledge, then the mind and the self-confidence will come...

What will happen to all the aging pros? The same thing that usually happens. We'll eventually kick the bucket. :D As for right now, myself, I'm not old enough to quit yet. I still have something left in my tank and plan on playing pool as long my health permits me to. :cool: When you've...

I don't know what you mean by that. Try to explain yourself a little bit better and maybe I'll understand.

Pelican, thanks for letting me know about the ring game. I've always wanted to play in the ring games, but it's a matter of scheduling and finances. If there comes a chance that I could maybe get staked, I would try to get myself there. I'm a little worn down of these tournaments that the...

Jackie, good to hear from you again. I haven't gotten an e-mail yet from that guy from San Diego. If you can give me his name or his e-mail, then I'll try to get in touch with him. Thanks for letting me know. But on the other hand, I sure would like to talk to you! :)

And they're right! Reed is a slow player. We've gambled before a few times. He is a good guy to gamble with, if you can beat him out of his money, but he's not a good guy to lose to, just because of the way he is. There's not a lot of people who like Reed, but I do. We've even gambled on...

I never realized the geometry and the science in the game. All I ever did was just shoot shots for shots and then learned with the cue-ball as it went on. I always had better results by watching somebody who was really good, and then I would go off on my own and try to master all the englishes...

I never met the cat, Mates. So he probably didn't do too much damage, if I didn't hear about him. ;)

You got it about right, Cueman. I won 360,000 off a guy named Rosey from Detroit. He was a millionaire. We ended up playing 25,000 a game, 9-ball. I was giving him the 5-out. That was the most money I had ever played for. Chris, I can't really picture the guy right offhand. It could have...

Tell Dot I said hi and that I'm doing good. I still play the horses off and on. Can't seem to get away from them. Rickie P. calls me, off and on, and told me Buddy Hall is supposed to run Pickle's and the Sports Palace for Dot. He would be a good candidate to do that. Don't know when I'll...

Ha-ha. I was just talking about that the other day. I have trophies from every State just about. When I was on the road quite a bit, I would just leave them at my friend's house. To be honest, I would rather have the money. A few places that I've been in, when I had plenty of money at the...

I would prefer to play on a Gold Crown or a Diamond, but a lot of it matters on the humidity in the air on how a table will play. If you get to play on newer felt all the time, that makes a difference, too. If the felt is worn out and wet, that will affect the balls and make it harder to...

I've made it up to Dayton and played in a few of his tournaments. It was always well organized and a pleasure to play in every one of them. :)

In my opinion, the odds are like 5 to 2. It's pretty close. If somebody was to take 2 to 1, I think I would beat 'em.
