Anyone For Some High $$$$$ Jacked Up?

Leonardo "Dodong Dadiangas" Andam might be way passed his prime but he
could still shoot it. Take the next available flight to Manila, I'm sure you're
"plane" is a li'l bit small to cross the Pacific Ocean...

Don't know if I'm talking about the same person, but back in the late sixtys, there was a latin, probably a Puerto Rican that played some unbelieveable one-handed pool in either Ames or 7-11 in New York.
Don't remember his real name, or it's correct spelling, but it was pronounced "A-Goose-A-Tay". Same person?


No, it does not sound like that but I can reckon if I see it .
 
I must tell you that if you fly your self on down to FL. I bet you can get laid up really quick. I have personally seen Louis Viera Run some nasty racks one handed. That is one gamble you dont want sir. Just look for the cross-eyes mexican that looks like he should be pin-striping a Mercedes instead of driving one.
 
Little Miami

That was Isaac "Miami" Gonzales. Artie only played the top one handed players Eight Ball. He was undefeated.

Antonio (Aguzatate) Montalvo and "Little Miami" were two different players. Both played phenomenal 1handed pool. Miami personally told me he thought he could beat anybody alive playing 9 ball or rotation EXCEPT Aguzatate. There was another great Puerto Rican 1 handed player whom I did not know, but only heard of. His name was Chico from Puerto Rico. He was in Miami when I was there in the 60s but I never met him. He was rated as the best bumper pool player in the world. Anybody know anything about him?

Maybe it was Cannella

Was Ronnie the best 1-handed-jacked up player in his prime? Because I heard that in the mid 70's to mid-80's, there was this young guy from Mexico that was the best ever. Supposedly Ronnie was afraid to play him anything 1-handed, except 1 pocket. If the Mexican guy was allowed to play 1handed, but have the cue rest on the table, the guy played just as good as he did with both hands, which was somewhere around pro level. My friend who told me this doesn't lie or exaggerate, so I would have to believe him. Can anyone name a Mexican champion that played/plays great 1handed? Nobody knew the guy's name that I'm talking about.

Most 1handed players were specialists. Ronnie played 1handed 1 pocket as good as anybody. They say Eddie Taylor was the best at 1handed banks. Artie never lost playing 1handed 8ball. Miami and Aguzatate were probably the best at 9 ball, rotation and straight pool. But they were Puerto Rican, not Mexican. The only Mexicans I can think of back then who could possibly qualify was Cannella and Sergio. I dont know if Cannella played 1handed or not, but he beat Sigel playing 9ball in Tx in the 70s. Sergio, who is still around, was supposed to be a terrific 1 hnded player in those days, so maybe that is who he is talking about, although Artie also drubbed him playing 1hnded 8 ball.

I don't remember this, Chico, Beard but if you ask around I'm sure you will find the top bumper pool player in history is Marcus Collier, DFW and Jackson, Miss.

"Little" Sergio was the best jacked up one handed 9 ball player around LA for years. He was even better with the big ball on a bar box. He has been living in Texas for years and the last time I saw him was at the BCA Tournament at the Riviera a few years ago. Ernesto Dominguez was also a great one handed player on the big table and beat one of the East Coast players out of a nice score several years ago playing 9 ball. John Henderson

John, you are correct it was Little Sergio. He was called that because there was also another SergioThat played real good but not one handed. I saw Little Sergio beat Efren one handed for large cash in the 80's. They played nine ball. Races to 11.

:p I AM A RETIRED EXEC WHO LIKES TO GAMBLE AND HAVE RUN INTO A PLAYER WHO PLAYS PRETTY WELL ONE HANDED, JACKED UP AND I WILL BACK HIM AGAINST ANYONE IN THE WORLD. HIS NAME IS UNIMPORTANT AS WE WILL PLAY ANYONE FOR LARGE SUMS OF MONEY.

Go down to Dallas and ask for Sergio Vargas. You'll get all the action you want and then some.

I remember that match. I think they called the guy Baltimore Something-err-rather. He was in Hard Times practicing (jacked up, of course) for days before the match. Ernesto has a pretty sporty jacked up break.

Baltimore Jerry and yes Ernesto can play one handed.
 
Starting to think this guy might have been pulling our legs. If not, then hit me up, we got someone that will play you some one-handed for a few thousand a set, or we can even match up someone here who will play 2-handed and offer a small spot...
 
he has a plane, they are cheap. Now if he said a jet then he might be real. and he seems to have disappeared, sounds jive to me.
 
Okay, let me see if I can start some of my own action in this thread...

Anyone interested in giving up the hand-span in one-pocket? :rolleyes:

I saw Efren play Ronnie Allen about 18-20 years ago one handed in the air. They played 15 ball rotation for 1,300.00 per game. Efren actually broke one handed in the air and ran out thru the 11 ball to win the game. I wondered why I even played the game!

That has to be the sickest thing I've ever heard. Is this true?
