Cues- a lot of people may like billy but i wonder how many of them trust him? i realize that it is Only My opinion, but to be HOF worthy should include integrity. Maybe i am by myself in this, but Billy was always about "doing business". i can think of a lot of other greats, who many on here would never recognize their names, are just as deserving based on their Game and More deserving based on their Reputation.
My first job at 15 years old in 1967 was at Varsity
8-Ball, a penny a minute to play.
I saw plenty of moves, even had a couple pulled on me by so-called friends.
Even when I got back in to pool after my divorce in 2002, some of the same guys were around and remembered me, and guys were still "doing business."
Nothing surprises me when it comes to gamblers, although I people do change.
