I saw another person post about John Morra, and with the DCC coming up, I wanted to share my experience with John Morra at the DCC.
For the uninitiated, table time at the Derby is tough to come by. I stumbled upon an empty table between rounds, and I started hitting balls. John Morra walks up. He is predictably still in the banks tournament, and he asked if he could hit the balls with me. Of course, I agreed. I would have agreed to play with nearly anyone, but it was clearly a bonus that my opponent was going to be John Morra.
I played bank pool with John for maybe 45 minutes. He complimented a few of my banks, asked about where I was from and what event I was in.
I wasn’t able to spend any more time with him, and it doesn’t really make sense to completely make conclusions about any person after 45 minutes of bank pool. However, to me, John was genuine, polite, and just pleasant to hang out with. There was not even the smallest hint of arrogance or entitlement communicated by John. He is an easy player for me to root for, and if I owned a company that needed a player representative, he would be on my short list.
If a company out there reads this, please know, I don't see how another player could interact with your consumers any better than John Morra.
