...playing poker at the Mirage in Vegas. He was hanging around there for the few days I was there. I thought it was pretty cool to take a few bucks off a champion on the green felt, 'cause I'd never beat him hittin' balls. Does he live out there? Any other pool players bet it up in poker...

1) KC and The Sunshine Band 2) Johnny Cash

Awesome...thanks for the info everyone. I'll let you know if I make it there.

I've been interviewing with a company in Tulsa. It's all been over the phone, and I have no idea what life is like there. Anyone live there or been through that could help me out? What's the pool scene like? Night life? Is it all old and ugly people or is it pretty cool? Thanks in...

Hey Jam, thanks for the info. I'm in Mesa, AZ, but it sounds like a good time for a road trip to Vegas! Can you tell me where they're playing up there? Thanks.

What night do they have these tournys? Also, what's the entry? And are you still giving me the 7 ball?

Seems like there are a couple of more morons that do not understand the brilliant leadership of George W. Bush. Wait, I'm sorry, I don't intend to make this personal. I realize it's just a difference of opinion, but you boys are ripping the President of the United States and I'd just like to...

I remember boozin with my brother and another buddy after flyin into Chicago on a Friday night. Got the snot beat out of me after I lost and paid 40 bucks. I asked to raise the bet to a hundo and they got salty. Snapped my thumb like a chicken wing. My pool game, not to mention my golf grip...

I think we're talking apples and oranges here. Kid Delicious was talking about Champions. 99.999% of pool players are not at the level that he was refering to. So that leaves the rest of us. I believe that gambling is a great teacher. It doesn't teach you how to make balls, rather it...

Like I said, I was in Peoria / Bloomington all last summer and my only regret is not going back down to Brian's Place in Mattoon to get the big payback. I played there and Stix (Charleston) when I first started and I made plenty of donations at Brian's Place. I made my bones, as they say...

Don't get me wrong Longhair, Gary made a few donations to the Reno Foundation. Aren't you the cat that I used to beat up on down at EIU back in the day?

It's called Ride the Nine, just off Veteren's Parkway. Monday night's they have an open tournament on eight footers, race to four nine ball, DE. There are some pretty decent players and you can usually find action. They have 9 footers and bar boxes as well. Mike Dunklin - thin black guy...

Just curious, but what part of Illinois are those cats from?

Are you kidding me? An AZ Billiards forum about the top five players in your state and no one from AZ has replied? Maybe I missed a post, but my lame ass opinion is... Scott Frost (if he's considered an Arizonian) Jimmy M. (maybe your modesty kept you from replying) Oakland Terry Osborn...

From the book Winning One Pocket - as taught by the games greatest players.... Fats vs. Mosconi, 1952 Willie Mosconi, in the late '40s, had made several trips between Philly and New York to play Rudolph "Downtown Fats" Wanderone straight pool (aka, Minnesota Fats). Fats was always trying to...

Matched up with these two a few years ago. Just wondering if they're still playing anywhere.

I lived in the Midwest last summer, and my eyes were opened to the world of banks. I grew up in the "9 ball Generation", and the game of banks has been the most revolutionary discovery of my 14 years of playing. You watch theose old cats shoot three and four railers like they mean it, and all...

Great post Fast Man...I've never been on the road so I can only speculate. No one knows how they will respond in adverse situations until they are there. To 99.9% of the population, it is speculation. Like Royce Gracie said after easily winning the first Ultimate Fighting Championships, he...

How about the jerk that invented the jump cue. Actually, I don't know who it is, but it sure changed the game.

I was playing with a "sneaky pete" or "hustler" cue as some call it. I upgraded to a nice Schon, but after playing with it for a couple of weeks, I realized I didn't like a cue with a wrap. Anyways, I'm back to the hustler cue. The Schon is in the closet. What's that Pechauer look like...
