Legendary
IMHO....Bucktooth is a great part of pool history around the Bay Area and Northern California.
He's a character; old school hustling and woofing... His biggest hook was baiting the pros by flashing his large wads of C-notes and getting a lot of weight that turned out to be the nuts. Looking at all that green, lured a quite a few young sharpshooters into giving him the weight he asked for. He was fun to watch, providing laughs whenever he was around. I remember one instance when he was at one of those old Sands Reno Tournaments, trying to get a game in the practice room, telling everybody he had just gotten out of the hospital and using that as a reason for getting a big spot....he pulled out a document of some kind, saying that it was certification from his doctor, or something to that effect.... to which somebody in the room said, "Yeah, it says that you're certifiably insane!"
