Prudman,
Thanks for taking the time and effort to put John in the US Open. Thanks also to John Schmidt for putting on one of the greatest shooting exhibitions I’ve seen in years. This could have not happened to two greater guys, Thanks again!

OKAY for those of you who have not tried...DAVID HODGES cleaner for shafts is amazing. I bought two bottles from him on Sunday and when i got home i cleaned all 4 of my shafts. I went and played league that night and my god my shaft felt like GLASS...I would tell anyone to give Dave a call and give this stuff a try. it is a non alcholic based product..i was amazed and ashamed of what came of what i thought was a pretty clean cue of mine. GREAT PRODUCT DAVE

and so you know who i am...I was the large black fellow talking to you about B. Kirby. I used to go to your shop in Richmond and shoot on the table. Mr. Kirby was helping me to sharpen my game. take care I would like to know what products you can use to clean the butt of you cue to keep that sharp clean look. I know some stuff can remove the fininish

Mr. John Schmidt

I think John winning the US Open is one of the best things that can happen for pool. A lot of players could learn a few things from him if the would just pay a little attention to some of the things he does. He always wants a clean table and clean balls. Some players accuse him of doing things to the ball when he is cleaning the cue ball with the towel. All he is doing is making sure that their is nothing on it to deflect the line it is going. He also shows everyone respect no matter if he has won or lost.

Attention all players John is one class act player on and off the table. I think the game could use more guys like him and the game might stand a better chance to gain more sponsors. John you are and will be one of the greatest so keep up the good work my friend. I am pulling for you.

DITTO!!! DITTO!!!! Tap, Tap, Tap!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards, Kennyratt

John played mistake free pool for his final several matches. He handled himself with total class.
After winning, his comments also reflected his class.

Purdman took a chance, backing a player who had never come close to winning the Open. I have to tell you, when I saw him, from a distance, during the finals, he looked like he was about to cry. I'm sure they would have been tears of joy.

Congrats to both John and Purdman; two class acts.

What percentage does a stakeholder normally get?
If its none of my business then thats fine, but enquiring minds like to know.

Many pool players make "savers" with other pool players. That's just good business sense when lots of dough is at stake so that is one thing that has to come off the top.

Stakehorses and investors are too different things. Generally stakehorses provide all of the money and investors provide portions of the needed stake.

Too many ways to split the profits and losses to guess.

When John posted his request for someone to put him in the open, he said "heres what i got in mind.give me a 1000 and we will split the money 60 percent me 40 percent you.or option b ,give me 1700 you get 60 percent i get 40." I'm not sure what the fee was to play in the open.

Out of idle curiousity:
Anyone know if John played golf?

Yes, I heard from a credible source he did play, and it helped relieve some of the stress.
