Monster players Vernon told me about this road trip. He and Buddy Hall were on the road together at the time and Vernon said they did indeed have only one barrel and bet it all. He said had Clem known that was all the money he and Buddy had he would never have played. Vernon said he was...

Sorry, didn't see thread already posted with info.

Friend of mine received news that Wade Crane aka Billy Johnson was in a fatal accident today in Knoxville, Tn. Anyone have info that this is indeed true?

Monster players Yes, Vernon was the best!!!!!!! Here are a few other noteworthy names who played Vernon------and lost. Keith McCready, Earl Strickland, Nick Varner, Louie Roberts, and I could keep going on with the list. With the exception of Louie Roberts (RIP) the others can be contacted...

Natural ability Natural ability is what some people are born with and it may be greater in only one area, some areas, or, although unlikely, all areas. Through hard work and dedication those of us who don't have it can excel to the level of those who do have it but only if they are lazy and...

Diamond Wish I could have done that. Yep, thats the one. Thanks.

FYI there is a Diamond 9' table and light for sale on Craigslist in Chattanooga, Tn. Pictures also.

Looking to buy up to 10 Diamond 7' bar box used tables. Send PM with info ie; location, pricing, condition, etc. Thanks

Re:Room in Tuscaloosa Harold McCabe is a very nice young man and deserves all the support anyone and everyone can give him and the game of pocket billiards. The biggest obstacle he may face in being successful is the same hazard that everone faces when starting a business doing whatever it is...

Re:Gary Spaeth Never knew Gary and not many of the great players mentioned in this thread. But Vernon Elliott was a close friend of mine so via his stories to me of his experiences playing most of these great players I feel like I knew them. Vernon never played tournaments otherwise his name...

Re:Efren If all, at least more pros exhibited Efren's demeanor and class while playing pool corporate sponsors would be lined up waiting their turn for endorsements. Players could become extremely well paid for their talent. Instead, they show up at tournaments wearing flip flops and a tee...

Visited a nice room this past weekend which was hosting a Shannon Daulton tournament. I knew that being affiliated with Shannon there would be talented players there and I wasn't disappointed even though, I think, this was a first time hosting by the room. Layout out the room was very pool...

Anyone know if the tournament in Memphis is going to be streamed? Thanks.

Will be visiting Santa Fe for about a month. Any rooms there or nearby? Any 9' tables? Thanks.

Recently I was talking to a friend as he was recovering a nine foot Diamond table and he was telling me about a bet he was offered. A guy wanted to bet him that he could break a rack of 9 ball on a table without rails installed and all balls would be knocked off the table. My friend accepted...

Grady One solution would be to allow any former hustler over 60 to gamble for whatever amount offered and if he wins he keeps the money and if he loses he doesn't have to pay. Bret Farve is past his prime too and I hear he will only return next year if defenders who intercept his passes...

Grady Grady chose to post on a public forum to which he isn't new. Obviously he knew a response was sure to be coming whether he had won or lost. He should be ashamed of himself for his self-righteousness. He spent most of his life hustling and didn't learn anything? Twice I witnessed him...

Info Thanks. I appreciate your help.

Does anyone have an email address for Mike Johnson (Jensen Cues)? Would like info on a series of cues he made for Danny Jones about 20 yrs ago. I figure he would find it more convenient to answer an email than answer a phone call. Can PM me if you would like to keep his address private. Thanks.

Lucky or no lucky It seems to me this thread started due to the fact there isn't much (enough) money in pool for pros to make a living doing it based on skill let alone having someone, especially a weaker player, get lucky and score a win. There are obviously many ways to do this. Rank all...
