Anyone knows of the Handicap pool tournament about 3-4 months ago in Birmingham, AL. where a woman 4 handicap won over $100K?
Huge money at Pool event in Birmingham.

More than likely it was at iron city billiards. IIRC, there was a big tourney in mississippi that, for whatever reason, couldn't hold the calcutta, so they moved it to Iron City.
Anyway, a buddy of mine played in it and said the money was just insane. You could probably check their older face book posts to find out details, but I'm pretty sure, Roberto Gomez, De Luna, Edgie Geronimo, Hennessy were there...if it is the same tourney we are talking about.
The lady that won it was no SL 4 I promise you that. If I am remembering correctly it was Liz Lovely who won and she is currently a 623 Fargo and has won a few of the CSI ladies events. At one time her Fargo was up over 650.
Why does this seem to be a big 'secret' in the pool community? A woman winning over 100K in mixed handicap event is NEWS!
because if her fargo really is over 600 and she got in as a sl4
thats stealing candy from a baby
I don't think it is a secret, the event winners were announced after the event and people just moved on not making a big deal about it. Just like we do everyday!
Yeh, right, Everday a Woman wins over a $100K in a single event! LOL!
I’m not so sure any player has won 100 Gs in a Calcutta tournament….who buys themself for that kind of money?
The event he's referring to is Devorce...
Plus there's action down south that's massive and you never hear about it.
White Diamonds has 2 Calcutta, that exceed 100k.
The smart players buy a part of themselves from the stake holders, its common down here to give the player part of themselves and a little something one the side for making it into the Money..., Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi.
I have friends who played in it. Every pro woman in the event got to play on the low side as a 4.
I think they use the same handicap system as the Railyard, where they had me as a 7.
No thanks.

Great, I'll be in Alabama for work, and now I have this stupidity to look forward to in the tournaments? Handicapped and all the women are automatically lower because they are women?
I heard Monica Webb was a 4 there as well. At least you won't have to give an enormous spot to the better player until the final 4 since it's a split bracket. GL
“4 handicap” is for that tournament. It has nothing to do with APA, if that’s what you’re thinking. Big Tyme Road Show. You can look it up on FB.
Yep. Just like that World Heyball: autohandicap for women. Hooray for gender bias and binary self-identification! Women should hop on it while it’s hot. I would.
