Jimmy was a great friend to me and my family. I am so very sorry for his children. He helped my daughter through a very difficult time in her life. He gave her support that no one else could have offered and his influence will guide her for her entire life. Vicki Capone

I asked him if he was aware that the picture was not of a Capone cue. He sent this reply: YES! I saw this picture, which I found on the internet, and I emailed it to Capone and had him make this cue for me. To which, I replied: So, this is not the cue that is for sale, and it's not even a...

good eye, gutshot... just out of curiosity... did you report this (or other fraudulant auctions) to ebay?

You wont see ANY with that type of burl wood - because it's bocote, which is not uncommon. It is a beautiful cue. I love Josswest cues.

Hey Jen, I met Pops the first time at Jack 'n Jills in Glen Burnie. I think it was 1989 or 1990. Back then he was playing unbelievable one pocket. He was not interested in teaching unless you were gonna learn something while he beat you out of your paycheck. He was a little critical of "girls...

Does anyone know where/when the memorial services for Timmy Pappageorge (sp?) are going to be? Thanks in advance.

Hi Enzo, We're not as far apart as you seem to think. I'm all for giving the IPT a chance. To answer your question, we've got very little to lose. I'm just not going to put on blinders and trust for the sake of trusting this guy. I firmly believe we better have a plan B IF the time comes that...

You're right. I thought he was banned from infomercials for the book, but the book, it turns out, is protected by the 1st ammendment. I still think the tours purpose is to promote the book. Several magazines will not advertise it and there are a bunch of stores that will not carry it. With all...

I think you're asking me how the billiard industry would benefit from trudeau's angle of selling more books? The IPT would need to be successful in order for him to promote his book through Natural Cures' sponsorship of the IPT. If the IPT is successful, then pool will benefit in obvious ways...

I suspect he needs a way to advertise his products since he is no longer allowed to do infomercials. He's said he is not accepting any other corporate sponsors other than Natural Cures. If he can mainstream pool and get it on tv, he'll sell more stuff that the FCC won't otherwise let him...

Hi Colin, Just curious, is there a guarantee of cash for the players? I am sure Trudeau means to pay the players their winnings, but is there a contract or some other guarantee that he will actually provide the event? To the best of my knowledge, which is admittedly limited, there is no...

It seems most of the fans here think that pro players sould continue to make their livings in this manner and only a small few support them in their opportunity to make a decent living. That's not ok with me. I don't work for free and I don't think my favorite pool players should have to either.

Eydie, I hope you don't actually believe that. ABC News calls Kevin Trudeau "King Con". Read this from a 20/20 report just a couple of weeks ago. Just google Kevin Trudeau and FCC. We're not dealing with a reputable person. http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Health/story?id=1527774 I am happy to see...

Well Bernie, When you fail on the IPT you'll wish those other tours had not failed because that's where you'll be playing in 2007. :mad: :mad:

Barbara, This is something I've considered too. It has also occurred to me that the IPT may disappear tomorrow, or on the 3rd of August, or anytime they decide they're done with pool. They are not under contract with the players to provide the promised tournaments as far as I know. This Kevin...

Hey Jennie, The people who don't think the money is important are the people who have careers with paid vacations and HMOs. For professional pool players who have lived their adult lives scraping by on the money they can make in regional tours, gambling or playing in weekly tournaments at a...

My vote is also for the Capone :p :p See you at Valley Forge!

So many e-mails that I have tried to PM you and your mailbox is always full. :D Darn it, we only live a half hour from each other and the only time we see each other is out of town at tournaments! I'll see you later this week at VF... :p

US Open The previous posters are correct... the Super Billiards Expo in March is the best event in pool. Derby City Classic is a close second but it is much more of a tournament than a product expo like Super Billiards Expo. Someone said one fifth the exhibitors at DCC vs. SBE... try more...
