Hello pool world, I would like to respond to what Mr. Blackjack said on behalf of the UPA. I made a mistake when I stated that the $ that was owed to me from Brady was the Masters tournament it was not, I guess this situation has bothered me for so long that I try not to recall it sometimes. The tournament that I am STILL OWED FOR was the Mid-Atlantic Open 2002, now Brady says that he has tried to contact me in this matter which I'm unaware of but I did receive one check and one check only and that was $150.00 to which I do have proof of, I am still owed $1,850.00 and it's a shame that he is welching out in such a cowardly fashion. The Upa was the one that gave me this check and it would be interesting to see what Frank says Brady owes me hmm.
In regaurds to Bin Min I might have been a little quick to judge just because of people like Brady who says he only owes me $800.00 that is a terrible lie on Brady behalf and I am not saying this just because I have had to wait for so long to get what is rightfully owed to me. I will be in touch with you Blackjack , I must first find out in what span of time it was that I left Bin Min's check uncashed as I don't think it was over 90 days in retrospect. As I write this my next move is getting the upa's lawyer Jack McGiness's phone # so that I might turn this matter over to my father and stop all of this back n forth stuff. By the way to whom it may concern Frank Alvarez never returned my Dad's phone call and all he has ever done is sent me info on the next tourney, my position is this, yes your right about one thing Frank I used the fact that I haven't been paid in for two tournaments as a bargaining tool for not paying my membership fee. I appreciate this Blackjack fellows interest in this matter but Frank is indeed a smooth talker and it will be difficult to deal with him. I do hope however that I can get paid and maybe one day when the cloth is not so fast and pockets aren't so large I will return where the best player still has a winning edge I would then love to return to the game.
As of right now if Frank and Brady apalogized and wrote me a check for $2,250 I don't think I would consider coming back, when I played at the world championships this last year it truly was a great event but the pockets were big enough to swim in that's not real pool in my opinion anyway. I am not a sore loser or a hot head I could never have gotten this far if I had been, I am someone who is genuinly concerned with the state of mens professional pool. I wish I could say this is all just a big misunderstanding but I can assure yall it is not, I will say this when I owe someone $ I will do whatever it reasonably takes to assume the responsability to make good and the truth is your not protected on the upa from people like Brady Thanks for following this little story and I will post more about this after my Dad has contacted the upa's lawyer as we are finished trying to communicate with 'smooth talkin Franky'.

Pool is now hitting rock bottom. In the past year I was dumped by a 30 year friend who is among the nations best bar table players for $20,000 who dumped me to someone who was just robbed of $34,000 in Boston and I was almost poisoned to death in Baton Rouge by a "Friend" who hit me with a dose of scopolamine which costs me another $15,000. This is really a lovely game, take it from someone who's been around since before you were born Danny, and get out this rotten game and do something with your life as you seem to be a real nice intelligent young man. There is no future in pool, the cast of characters, lack what is badly needed, integrity, and this will not get any better, it's getting worse.....Humphrey, New Orleans 
I've got a few horror stories myself, but none can even touch what you've experienced.
