It does not matter. If it can't feed your family who cares. In the 30's and 40's even. Pool players are not bums. Or are they. By that I ask this. If it can't feed your family no matter how good you are, will your family care?
To all the champs out there if you do not have one, get a job.
You will still be a champ. But you will not be a bum.
Do you own a house? A car? No but I can run balls all day long and I gamble!
I wouldn't wish that on a dog. And Most champs do have a little dog in them.
When was the last time you ate well? Well?
Champeens. That is what my buddy called them. He beat all of them. He had a job. After he told Mez he beat champeens he busted him. Mezz stole the champeen thing. It cost him having to pawn his Balabushka for a bus ticket!
I have to say to the champs out there get a job.
There are people out there that beat champeens.
They do not care how many balls you run.
Good chance you will never hear about them. No one brags about how they got busted.
Even the ball running champeens.
Get a job. Pool? Don't count.
Unless you are Efrin.
