Hey, ole buddy! I'm just re-reading your fine book, Pool Wars (2009), and find myself enjoying it even more than I did on first reading. You have a good memory, which you share with Danny Diliberto and Grady Mathews-- I think because you, like they, weren't a druggie or drunk, which so many...

AtLarge and PT109 have weighed in on the rules for Filipino rotation, which is helpful. I'm wondering if anyone on the site who is Filipino could dig out the posted rules of rotation from some Filipino source that has an English translation, or could provide an English translation? The basic...

Mike Surber's brother, Steve, has put up a $10,000 reward for info leading to info & arrest of Mike's murderer. We have also opened a "Go Fund Me" account for donations to add to the reward. We are hoping that folks who can spare a few bucks will sweeten the pot so as to re-kindle and sharpen...

Here's a link to a copy of the recently enhanced video of Mike's killer. It's still not great, but anyone who has studied these new pics would probably be able to recognize the guy. Soon the techs who enhanced the video are going to have an internet blitz to law enforcement, pool sites, pool...

AMW was in town (Gulfport, Miss.) a few days ago taping a segment re Mike Surber's murder. It's reportedly supposed to air anywhere from mid to late August. AMW is now with Lifetime network. Their time slot is 9 P.M. on Fridays. They taped interviews with the four of us who had contact with the...

We finally have some video clips of Mike's suspected murder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC8Lv27_G4s It took a lot of time to convert the video from the unusual format used in this particular surveillance tape. The security tech pieced together segments of the tape, and timed them each to...

Tommy is playing well again after going through a slump of mediocre performance. I asked him why he's playing better. He said he got contact lenses, and he can now see the balls clearly. It's made a huge difference in his play and his confidence. It's great to see Tommy back in top form! Doc

The funeral for Michael "Biloxi Mike" Surber will be held on Wednesday, November 18 at 2 P.M. It will be at Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home at 675 Howard Ave., Biloxi, Miss. 39530. Bradford-O'Keefe's phone number is: 228-374-5650. It is my understanding that, because there was an autopsy, the...

In which city is the Texas Open being played? AZ forgot to mention that...:wink: Doc

The streaming which was to be provided unfortunately had an equipment failure. The brackets haven't been updated recently at mxmbilliards.com. Anyone know who the final 16 or 8 are? Thanks~ Doc

We've been having a discussion over at onepocket.org about when there's a kiss in a bank shot. There are some fairly reliable gauges to use in order to calculate when there's a kiss, but it occurred to me that there may be a few contributors here who have actual systems (rather than just...

Congratulations to Raymond Linares for writing such professional reports about the Seminole Tour events. The coverage is at once entertaining and complete. Looks like he's been playing some first class pool as well! Doc

Just got a call from JoeyA. It's standing room only for the 128 man barbox tourney in Lafayette. Supposedly 40 guys showed up who couldn't get in the event. Lots of names: Nick Vita, Gary Abood, Hennessee, David G., Luc Dupierne, Jesse Bowman, etc. Jamie Farrell didn't get his entry fee up...

After a week and a half, I'm beginning to believe that the final payouts for the DCC's various events won't be published. The DCC website still displays the "down" message. It's nice to know from the AZ posters who won, and who took second, but it would be nicer to know all the finishers in...

I had seen Jamie Griggs Tevis' book My Life With The Hustler advertised on Amazon a few months ago, so I quickly ordered it. It was a good book-- mostly a diary type presentation of her children's home life and times with Walter from the beginning to end. I'd expected more about Walter himself...

Jewett has got to get one of these: http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/digitally-assisted-billiards-makes-everyone-a-pool-shark/ Doc

If the DCC is no longer in Louisville (the Derby City), will the event have to be renamed?:confused: My vote would be the Diamond Caesar's Classic (DCC)...:wink: Doc
