players you have had the honor of playing?? I would have to say
Billy Palmer (beat him once 5-4 EVEN)
Tony Chohan
Bryce Aliva
filipino gene
Billly the Kid
Tobias Rogossnig
Tom Rossman
Mike Massey
Dale Baker (My instructor)
I never won a tournament in SF but i can say that i beat Palmer even up
Tobias is the great Austrian straight pool champion tha lived in SF aswell. One day i was practice next to his table and boy i was shooting the lights out!!! Out of the corner of my eye i saw him watching me intently. So after he was done with his game he ask if i wanted to played and i said RACK EM!!!!! Of course we were playing HIS game. At one point i was up 95-38 and i missed a cut shot in the side. He miss a straight in shot so i deposited 7 more and missed again. Then he stepped up and ran 112 and out :lol: I thought a 150-102 loss was pretty good. Especially when i had two big runs of 40+ balls That and he a very pleasant man all around.
Tom Rossman came to my hall one night while he was on his little tour. He was there to see the owner of the place but he wasnt around. I asked Tom if he wanted a table and he ask if i wanted to play. Like i was gonna no :lol: We played for about 4 straight hours and boy did i get my butt kick. 9-1,9-3, 9-4 Once i had him held pretty tight on the 3 ball. He shoots to the head rail and jumps it off the rail up and over the group of balls i had him pinned on (mind you he was pretty jacked up) clips the 3 in the MIDDLE of the table and neatly makes it into the side and gets perfect shape for the rest of the rack. He wife leans over and say...."He couldnt do it again if he tried." :lol:
Mike Massey i played one rack with for a charity in Vegas. I broke the rack open wide and had an out and i missed cued and that was that. Fricking Desert!!!!
I think the trick shot guys are the classest gentlemen in pool these days. I find myself very lucky to have played these great players. They did make me the player i am today.
What about the ret of ya??
