when I was there, there was alot of cheap action on the challenge tables. no big name pros, but montel, tourango, and kirkwood all spent some time out there. action was typically 10-20 a game. I had a 6 pack for 10 and twenty a game and had a 6 pack put on me for 10 a game. thank god he wouldnt jack the bet. I was up about 140 when it was only me and stan tourango. since I was up I continued to play and assumed the role of the loser. I had shots the 1st 3 games and was ran out the last 3 games, and I pulled up.
I got in another game one night that kirkwood was playing in. 20 a game. I won my first game + a $20 sidebet. I then lost the next 5 to kirkwood. we were playing last pocket 8ball and he had a 6 pack with adam benhke alternating putting the coin in and watching a pro level player kicking our a$$es.
after we pulled up somebody I didnt know stepped up to play kirkwood 50 or a 100 a game. not sure which, but jason hit a gear and played awesome. they were playing 10 ball but you had to bank the 10.
I heard JK won 900 but I am not sure and I was in the front row. then ernesto d. stepped up to play JK 8 ahead for 1000. both players played tight and I think the beer started to take its toll on player no. 1. JK ended 4 games stuck and paid off and called it quits. I left at 430 am and they pulled up after I left.
all in all I lost more than I won but 200 was to pros and another about 200 stuck. I won 250 in 3 minis so I didnt do to bad.
I thought the tables played too easy. pockets were big. and the tables and balls played perfect.
