Jay, I'm not positive, but there is a guy named A.J. Martino out of MT or used to be, a few years ago. If I were to guess, I would say he's in his 60's, maybe even 70's now. Around 2008-2012 there was a big tourney in Williston, ND in a small sports bar called "Bills back 40" with about 5 shitty valley bar boxes called "the Cockwell". This tourney lasted for a few years and was named after a guy that I had never met, but the tourney was backed by 3 guys with big time oil money who were buddies with the guy. I'm not exaggerating when I say they added around 15-20K to it and cut it off at 64 players. One of the guys was a friend of mine's dad and a multimillionaire who just happened to love pool, so the money added was no big deal. I caught the last 2 years and then apparently it died off. The first year of the 2 years I played, Stan the man, Brady Gollan, and another Canadian player (can't think of his name) all placed in the top 5 and took the bulk of the cash. The next year, the backers weren't too fond of that, so they limited it to only ND residents and then it was Rory Hendrickson and Dean Flanders in the finals and Dean won, I believe winning around 6-7K for first. Not bad for a little tourney in the middle of nowhere in ND...
Anyways, apparently the year prior to me playing, A.J. came down and absolutely terrorized the field, going undefeated, and woofing at everyone along the way. Granted, I'm not exactly sure of the strength of field that year, but I believe there were at least a few bar box champs from neighboring states. I heard stories from several people about how amazing this Martino guy played that came down from Billings, MT and was living out of a van...I saw him play in a few tourneys in MT around 2011 and he played pretty good still, probably Fargo 650-700 level speed. People said he used to play on the pro tour or at least in some of the pro tourneys back in the day. So not sure if it's the same guy, but I think it's very possible, if not likely.
What happened to Tony Martino from Reno? A pretty good player and a good guy as far as I'm concerned. On another note I only remember being in one poolroom with the name Super attached to it. It was called the Super Cue in Bakersfield. I played there several time before opening my own poolroom there.
