Billy Ray
That dude is from California, been around a long time. Terry Osborne knows him. I cannot remember his real name. There was a thread on here a year ago or so with photos from a tourney at some pool hall in California and there was a photo of Billy Ray from the 70's. He came through Arizona a couple years ago. He still plays pretty good, but lives a rough life. That guy never smiles either.

Ray Suden. He used to play at California Billiards which used to be about 500 yards from where I'm sitting right now. His father used to play there as well.fdambi said:
Billy was always a little up and down as a player. If he had the best of it, he might run over you. But if he had a tough game, he could start to dog it. I saw him do both.

Hmmm... not sure that I've seen the same Billy Ray play if he happened to play that good. He plays good, but you must be talking about a bar table or something.
Billy had some epic money matches with Keith back in the 70s at Hard Times in Costa Mesa. Keith gave him the call seven, but Keith was spotting almost everyone something back then.
Billy Ray was quite a money player.

Billy Ray came through LA & stopped in the Golden Cue in Rosemead in 78/79. He beat me out of a little $$ and I ran into him after hours at the original Hard Times in Costa Mesa. He was just starting to play Keith getting the 7 & came up to me and asked if I wanted a piece. I told him no and he was offended and told me I was stupid because nobody in the country could give him the 7. Keith beat him a 7 ahead set in less than an hour. He could be a jerk sometimes, but he could play. I did see him beat Keith on a bar table with a similar spot. John Henderson
I forgot an incident at Hard Times in Costa Mesa with Billy Ray and myself in about 1977. At about midnight we played a game of straight pool to 100 points for a hundred bucks or so. Billy lost and had no money, and said sorry he would pay me later.
My friend Ron and I both knew that we would never collect, and so Ron told him off and called him a low-life, etc.
Billy seemed somewhat relieved that he wouldn't have to pay off.
