Has anyone seen or own the four DVD Set and the position play/banking DVD from Kid? How are they?

Not to bad and they are funny at times as Danny tells a few ways to get room and food money for the night that are cool. And Danny is like me he don't need much food money-not- I bought them at DCC the year they came out and made Danny throw in one of his signed custom pechuar cues to seal the deal a Kid Delicious cue.--Leonard
they were kinda short but i think they were worth the money
So what's one the ways to get room/food money?
So what's one the ways to get room/food money? I'm curious.
I'm also asking in part, as I feel the answer will immediately let me know if this just
a "comedy tape", or something of that sort. You would not believe some of the stuff
I've heard before. And, I'm not looking for more entertainment at this time.
Thanks...

I don't want to give away Kid D's secrets, but just suffice it to say that he addresses the correct way to approach the room, how to handle it when people ask how good he plays, how he gets people to bet on his hotel/food money propositions, and a few other things critical to being successful on the road. Again, like how to answer when people ask where he's from, and where he's heading to. It might seem obvious how you're suppose to answer these questions, but believe me, from what I learned on the DVD, it's not.
Considering he did so well on the road, I would say that particular DVD (the only one I have) is worth the money, as it told me a few things I didn't know before. It might not be for the hardcore, experienced gambler though.

OK, let me ask it a different way...
Thanks so far, for what you just posted.
OK, let me ask it a different way... If you are familiar with "Secrets of Pool Hustling", "How
to Hustle and Not Get Hustled", and "Secrets of Money Pool", is there a lot of overlap?

no not like that crap
I do have copys for sell of the three you mentioned though ---cheap too--

Hmmm...
Hmmm... I thought there was some useful stuff on the first one I mentioned, the
second one is entertainment more than anything else, and I thought there was a lot
of useful stuff on the third one. Maybe I'm naive. I was a software engineer for most
of my life, and only recently thought about trying to actually make a little money
playing pool. Until recently I only played in a few tournaments or some semi-friendly
races here and there.

Hey whitey maybe its been to long since I actually watched the three vhs tapes that you mentioned but I have time so I'll through 1 in and see what I think while i'm practicing 9 ball tomorrow, holy sheite batman it prolly has been at least ten years since I laughed at Pretty boy Floyd and the Colorada gang.--Leonard
What else is hard to belive is Danny listened to his long time road partner and eat right and lost a ton of weight and kept it off while they were on the road.--Leonard
Russ, I hope you didn't think I was referring to you...
Russ, I hope you didn't think I was referring to you... In the youtube clip, *Danny* said
he was never in an argument.
This thread also reminds me of something that happened a while back. I'm not the bragging
type, so it's very hard for me to write this post, but I'll try.
OK, I can play. Sometimes, on rare occasions, it is amazing. Now keep in mind, until
recently, I have always had a steady and well paying engineering job, and treated pool
mostly as a hobby. But in the past people have asked me why I never tried playing
professionally. I have been told that my break is better than any pro's they have ever
seen. So anyway, here I was in a job, and just completed a project for a company.
They had been trying to solve 2 problems in an operating system for about 5 years, and
some other companies had tried to do this, and gave up. Motorola even tried it 3 times
from what I heard. OK, so one day I go to work and find that about 1/3 of the company
is getting laid off, myself included. And, we had about an hour and a half to get off the
premises. Needless to say, I was surprised and really pi$$sed off, since I had been pouring
my heart out for this company, etc..
So, I decided to get back into pool. I went to a regional tournament, and I draw Danny
Basavich's manager or partner or whatever. A really nice guy, in fact one of the nicest I
ever met. Earlier I met him out in the smoking area, and he was looking for a cigarette,
since he was running late, getting to the tournament, and didn't have any time to get some.
We had a nice conversation outside, and had mentioned I had gotten *no* sleep the night
before, since everyone was wondering why I was yawning every 30 seconds or so, and my
eyes were watering. Anyway, later I have to play this guy. Tom Dennehey I believe was
his name. Well, being so pi$$ed about losing my job, must have brought out the killer instinct
in me. I smoked him. I mean badly. The few times I was in the chair, I actually had my eyes
closed, and just listened, I was so exhausted. As soon as I heard the balls click, I waited for
either the sound of a rail, a ball drop, a ball rattle, or nothing. If I heard a rattle or nothing, I
quickly opened my eyes, and literally jumped out of my chair and approached the table.
This must have really affected him. At 6-1 in a race to seven he unscrewed his stick and said
"that's enough". I went to shake his hand, and I can't actually remember if we shook or not.
But I remember distinctly some of his words. He might have thought I was lying about not
getting any sleep. He was so mad. I said something like "I never expected to shoot that well
after not getting any sleep". And he replied: "Yeh, right. You should take that act on the road."
And I said "What?", and he replied: "Come on, you never miss. All those bank shots,
combination shots, caroms to the nine? I don't believe you about the "no sleep". " I
tried to convince him, and he just stormed out saying "You should take that act on the road".
Anyway, if you ever see him, ask him about the guy he played in Chelmsford, MA that wore the
bright orange Ralf Lauren dress shirt that didn't get any sleep the night before the tournament.
I wonder if he remembers, but I think he will never forget it! I won't!

A quick followup
A quick followup. That match drained me. In the next match I reverted to my usual
level of play. I was up 5-3 going to 7 and I lost. I did not want to imply I was a world
beater, the scenario above was *extremely* rare, and that is why I will never, ever, forget it.
