i believe he was up in tulsa a few years ago...but don't quote me on it...I could just swear I know that name.

Wow I hvent heard those names in a while.

Chuck Ford-- last i heard he was in MO and still playing a little. Also heard that he moved to AZ and doesnt play. I dont think the last one is likely.

Mark-- did he move from New Orleans? Only place I have ever seen him or heard about him being. I have not heard his name in recent years so maybe he quit playing.

Mark Cavalier played a tournament I was in a few years back over at Murray's Miscue in Paris Tx. Damn, he played gooooooooood

On Big Truck's stream this last weekend, some people were discussing Mark Cavalier. Apparently, he is from New Orleans, and was supposed to be signed up for the upcoming event at The Big Easy. The context in which he was mentioned alluded to the fact that he was considered one of the "strong" players.

A friend of mine took Charlie to NO to play some. They were making some money and then Charlie asked for the keys to grab a jacket.

Next thing you know the car and Charlie are gone.

Some habits are hard to break. He came back and then was left in NO.


I saw him right before the trip and I couldnt believe that my friend was going to trust him.
Hope he is doing better. Heck of a player.

Cavalier was IMO never a TOP player. He was a good player but I don't remember him playing even with Harrahan Eddie or other TOP southern players.
He seemed like an okay guy. Steered a couple of us around NO once or twice. Bought my first Mudbugs as well. At the Sports Palace or Racketeers of all places.

Stiffed

You are correct John he was at Murray"s. He stiffed us on a 200.00 match with Tony. He left us holding a piece of junk Players cue and said he would be back with the money he owed us. I guess he got lost on the way back.

That he did do John...when it stayed on the table he was playing 5 & 6 ball most of the time but I've seen times where seemed like every other break was scratching or flying off the table....I've won a few dollars & lost a few on him...never was what would be considered a great player but had a decent gear when he had the mixture right.
