Cuban Joe Valdez, Fred Walen, Peter Gunn, Popcorn, and many of previous named.
But there was a high $ golf game played on the big snooker table, I don't know their real names but, Tweedy and Heart Attact Jack, comes to mind.
I was a young rail bird at the old upstairs place on bellflower Blvd.
Tweedy (Jim Shermerhorn sp) Jimmy Van and I played quite a bit of golf and liability snooker on Bertha starting in the 60’s and into the early nineties when they opened Hard Times and put the same 6 x 12 in it. Heart Attack Jack would play in the cheaper games but more likely to be in with one of the road players when they were in town. No one was barred from playing on that table and the regular players could hold their own against most of them.
I met Tweedy and Jimmy Van in the early sixties at Beaver’s pool room on Tweedy Blvd in Southgate when Tweedy was still in the Navy.
