that is the big problem with pool. the best monopolize all the money. they need to change the games or rules in such a way as lesser players can win or at least get into higher payoffs. otherwise its doomed to be what it is now. and cannot grow. in this country.
they did that with the poker and it bloomed into a monster. and have a following of other than just hard core high stakes players.
and have growing events as more cant wait to get in for a shot at a big payoff.

Good question.
I can’t give you a solid answer as I’m not sure. I’m in Dubai now and might have to come back to begas for some biz in a couple weeks.
Depending on what happens with that will determine what my schedule is. Guessing it’s 50/50 right now. I’ll know in a couple weeks.
I hope it works out. Send me a message anytime would be cool to meet up.

Any pool tourney. You can’t shit out often enough to win at pool. Chess is the same
Poker anyone can win so magnitudes more people enter tourneys and as you know the entry fees are higher because nobody is really dead money in a poker tourney. Most entrants have some winning chances, some much better than others-but nobody is dead money.
85% of entrants are dead money in a pool tourney depending on prize $ distribution. Could be higher or lower. Most ppl are 100% dead money. So why play? Keep reading…
This is also why Derby has low entry fees. As it’s affordable for the dead money to play. Losing $100-$200 to have a chance to play top players is really the draw for 85-90% the player field, nobody is expecting to win(just a hand full of guys)

This is a Deja Vu back to discussions from 20 years ago…
Most pro players grew up from the gambling scene and that’s what they know, that’s what they like. Some go to tournaments just for the side action.
Promoters do what draws the players.
Most don’t have big enough pockets, time and vision to try to change the world of pool.
Even Matchroom understands this and they support the gambling.
The ability to charge $2000 entry fee is rooted in gambling mentality.
it sounds like what you're proposing already exist and it's those high entrance fargo capped barbox events. maybe go watch that rather than moaning about one of the best events in pro pool
The 1 Ball One Pocket mini kicks off the event on Tuesday night, and the field is super strong.
The main event, featuring a huge Calcutta, takes place on Wednesday night, followed by the first round matches.

Lou, check your pool history. Ronnie Allen won the Cochrans One Pocket circa 1963. The rest is history. Keith Thompson AKA Young Squirrel won Johnson City circa 1971. Never won another title. And some guy named Caesar Morales won Reds Circa 1984. The rest is history. By the way he went for $5 in the Calcutta. WOW.
Congratulations to Joshua Filler on winning the Buffalo's Pro Classic 1 ball one pocket mini tournament.
Great finish for Josh Roberts taking 2nd
Great shooting, guys
Main event kicks off tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6pm Central

Hearsay -->Joshua Filler played Scotch Captains—I still don't understand what that means fully—with LilJon and Robbie Langford a fortnight ago. Filler was spotting them, I think, 11-6, and LilJon and Robbie took turns shooting in each game. Filler won the first game, but then LilJon and Robbie won every game thereafter, scoring, subject to check, 1,700.
I haven't seen the one-pocket yet, but the one-ball Calcutta was shared on Facebook.
the calcutta for the main event is at 6 pm their time tonight with the tourney starting after the calcutta
Today is the day that all one-pocket fans have been eagerly anticipating.

So that means the first match might come on the stream at about 10pm est?
Nice post fb.
Talked with John Lewis yesterday, and he's said it before.... events with no added money keep the better players away.
In talking with a TX holdum poker pit boss a week ago he said this.
Entry fees are the payouts.... no money is added.
In pool.....
No added money.... Keeps the better players from showing up.
