He's much closer to Terre Haute than Evansville...and a very short hop, skip and jump from Bloomington (but still too far to go over and find someone to play with!

Great thread Fatboy. The best examples of this on the table I saw (sorry I am a snooker player!) had to have been Dennis Taylor 1985. He just is not supposed to win that match (World Finals against Davis). Losing 8-0 and 9-1, he showed incredible heart to come back and take it 18-17. At this time Davis was killing everybody and he pretty much never lost from infront. Also Paul Hunter was an example to everybody what heart is. It was heartbreaking to see him losing to guys that could only dream to have his ability but every match he played he gave it evrything. RIP Paul it was a pleasure to meet you and have you wipe the table with me.

Just my obsevation
Thomas Stanley and William Danko wrote 'The Millionaire Next Door'. In their research they profiled people who typically get rich:
Place far more emphasis on saving than consuming
Live below their means
Typically self-employed and run a small business
Not flashy
Industrious disciplined conservative
Make money because they are very good at what they do
Productivity and passion for work is the common denominator. The money merely arises from their efforts. Their focus is not to pile up money, it is to run their business well.
As to millionaires on this forum, there are probably far more than you suspect, millionaire being defined as one who has more than $1,000,000 in investable assets.
In my country, interest income is fully taxable, so investing a million in government bonds will give an after-tax income that is close to the poverty line, not to mention that inflation will erode the purchasing power of that million and the annual income it can deliver without risk.
If you are rich and want to stay rich you have to accept risks - or keep working.

that describes me, I have a little flash to keep it fun but its far less than I could "Spend" if I lived large. I like to spend my $$$ on things that hold their value like watches, cues as opposed to plasma TV's, whores, coke, strippers etc. that way you build your assett base, yeah taxes hurt...bad but if you want to own things and not look over your shoulder gotta pay.
wider definition
That is a bit wider definition than what heart is in pool but in the widest definition I think "heart" encompasses all of the human virtues and none of our flaws.

This is a great answer. It belongs in a book!
Playing has nothing to do with heart- winning does, all your doing is gaining valuable experience in playing at the derby. Playing here has nothing to do with the open or other tournements. So step into the ring ( of fire )and see how badly you get burn't or not. If you have done the practicing it will pay off -or not. Your just an indepenent, no backers, and when you win some cash its all yours or not. Nobody can make you feel anything! except (me) mark
