V-bond,
Well, at least he didn't appoint you the "Room Goon" to police the AZB room. Is there any chance we will see you at DCC 2007?

I do not have any plans to come there.
My travelling days came to a abrupt halt.I do not go to tournaments to watch.I do not play even the local tournaments and never played them any in the last 10 years except two times in California.I do not gamble on pool table.I am old ,feeble,legally blind in one eye and I can`t sprint 100 M dash in 11 seconds anymore.
I will definitely be in attendance at Women`s US Open 9 Ball in oct in Albuquerque.

Mr. Lipsky ... I would be more than happy to assist you with something like that. Keep me updated.

hmm, 3 player ring game, sound fair!?

Of course it is fair. And you get 2/1 on the money- what more can you ask for. Perhaps we can meet in Philadelphia?

Squeek, squeek squeek...

Craig ....

That locked back leg thing is good for people who are shorter in stature...LOLz....tall people like me won't be able to stance correctly...trust me, I've tried....I keep a little more weight on my front leg versus my back...

Although many tall players will claim that, I do not accept it. They do not actively pursue having the proper form, and resort to whatever seems right for them, frequently standing with both legs bent in a 'crouch' position (I bet they ache after long tounaments or playing sessions). When I was first learning to play (14-15 years old) in Dodge City (yes, really), I used to play a guy named Jerry Govan from New Jersey on a basketball scholarship to Saint Marys of the Plains College. He was 7'1" tall, and had proper form when playing. Granted, his waist was higher than my chest at the time, and his back was straight, but did look like a downhill slope going towards his head, BUT he did stand and stroke the right way. So my reasoning is, if someone 7'1" tall can do it, players of a little lessor stature can do it also. BTW, he used a regular length cue, his own 2 piece cue. This was in the early 60's.

Sure, that is lots better. Not that I speak for Jude, but can we alternate shots, play with house cues and fly over there too?

This is sounding better and better...for some time I am really mad at my money.

I don't know. I really don't go into clicks all that often. There is a place on Lee Trevino that has a tight 9 footer - I go there occasionally. I have an 8 footer at the house - it has balls, rails and pockets - lol. I used to love Tito's old room (Pocket's) - nice tables - but too many high school kids would go in there and eventually it killed his business. My old room on Montana (Montana Billiards) is still there. I haven't been in that place for over 5 years. The lady I sold it to was not taking care of the tables and the place was a mess last time I went in there.

I don't understand the reasoning with Clicks moving tables out to put in the poker tables. Since I have been back here I have only been in there 3 or 4 times - mostly due to the lack of space like you said. There are some new places I haven't been to yet, I'll keep you posted. Anytime you want to drop by, let me know.
