"confessions of a pool hustler"
@ Richie, yea I am very proud of that win cause I was one of the few people who beat Gilbert around that time. He lives here in Vegas now and he talks about that match and kinda brags on me
! He's a class act ! I played him at Reds at the same time Efren was there and won the tournament. I actually cracked the butt plate on my cue when I was playing Gilbert. I scratched on a ball and kinda tapped my cue on the floor and the damn thing broke 
I've never done anything like that before or since. I didn't even tap it that hard, I'm still mad about it 27 years later, hahahahahhaa !

Funny Bobby, I remember you breaking the butt cap on your cue and how pissed you were, but I couldn't remember who you played. I kind of remembered it was one of the hispanic players. You played good when you were on your ass. I think I gave you $200 to play him with. I was holding good back then.
I also went in with Keith ($500 worth) when he played Caesar Morales (Efren) some 9-Ball. That didn't work out so good. And I put Ronnie in the One Pocket tourney and he won it. That was worth $4,000 + a $500 gift certificate, which Ronnie promptly burned up without me. I won a couple of matches (with one loss) in the One Pocket tourney, and then had to play Grady to make the final twelve and get in the money ($250). It was 1-1 and I had an open shot at my hole and dogged it
. He beat me 3-1 after that miss.
Keith and Caesar Morales
Darn Jay, I was in with Keith when he played Caesar Morales (Efren) on the bar table at Red's that year. Did he play Effie twice? I dont remember. When you were in was it on the big or small table. Maybe when I was in with him his half of the money had come from you!??

By the way, my website carries Cotton's book, "Confessions...." So you know that I endorse it.

Man this is great stuff. Don't stop with the stories. Skip :smile:
I knew it would just be a matter of time before someone came along and blew your cover. I just now have to unload this book by you. I'm so disillusioned now
... all along, I thought I was playing a world champion whenever I came over your house. <sigh> Have a great super bowl, and see you at Swannee! :smile:
We crossed paths more than once!
I made a real good response to this quote and its gone, perhaps i forgot to hit the submit button
I'm sure our paths will cross again, i'll make sure i'm in stroke next time:smile:, take care and enjoy the Super Bowl:smile:
And he still is!!!:wink:

When Keith played Efren opposite handed it was on a 4x8. They played a race I think it was to 11. I thought Keith was stealing cause he plays jam up. Well Efren played perfect opposite handed, I blew a third of my bankroll. Back to the drawing board, haha !
