No one has mentioned Jack Cooney yet. Jay? Grady? Any of you guys have any Frisco Jack stories?

OMG. He was in a class by himself. Here was a guy who could play championship speed One Pocket, and had weak players playing him even. And for BIG bucks too!

Jack made the biggest scores year in and year out. No one else was close, unless you want to count what happened at The Rack in Detroit. And that was gambling. What Jack was doing wasn't gambling. It was stealing, with style!

Just kidding my friend..from my vast experience in gambling,I have learned that the only thing that matters is taking down the cash!..Period..Point blank..end of story!..If you disagree,then you're probably "mad at your wallet" and try to get in games where you must play like king kong to get the dough..Or,most probably you're no gambler at all;maybe an occasional 10 or 20 dollar set here and there..but you're primarily a tournament/recreational-type player..Either way,what you must understand is:Nobody gives a crap how good your stroke is ,or how straight you shoot or how pretty your stance is IF YOU CANNOT TAKE DOWN THE CASH ..You can't buy a cup of coffee with pool trophies and awards..

A lot of great players are stone-cold suckers! My buddy Cliff,is a sucker for craps..I mean he is a straight whore for that hard eight!He cannot gamble a lick at it!(he does'nt know when to get up) I have seen him get up 25 dimes and within a matter of minutes he'd be stuck 5 dimes ..Unbelievable

But one thing I can say about Cliff though,he's got plenty of gamble and although he would'nt qualify to be a member in the club because he does'nt need the nuts when he plays (and often gives up the nuts) I'd give him a pass because of his gamble..

So in conclusion my friend,in the wonderful world of pool gambling either you are a sucker(loser) or a winner ..Nuff said!..If I played Cliff speed I would'nt need to be a lock-artist(to the extent I am now) but if you are a short-stop(like me) and you love action;you'd be a fool not to learn the do's and don'ts in matching up..That is if you're not mad at your wallet LOL

Btw,I have got more gamble in my finger than you have in your whole body ..I am by no means a nit..I AM A COLD BLOODED HUSTLER!

2 Bad I can't make a ball ..hahahahahahahaha

i just hate seeing a bunch of guys in the pool hall all talking about trying to get a game but nobody'll play unless there's no way they could lose. so what ends up happening (actual story) 8 guys standing around talking about how much weight they need to play for over an hour. 8 guys left without playing anyone. haha


yeah i think i might just be mad at my wallet. ha good luck with your club.

Congratulations!

I'll bite...

I consider myself a good gamemaker. My wins far outway my losses. People sometimes call me a lockartist, but like Walt said, these are the guys who are mad at their money. These guys are also jealous because they can't get the cash.

I'm not even a good player. B- speed on my VERY BEST days, C speed normally. But I've been around long enough to know how to pick out the morons and play them. Thats the key to making scores. Finding dumb players with money and ego. Then convincing them they can beat you. There are plenty of them around.

Compare me with the type of emerging good player, who ONLY wants to play TOUGH games with TOUGH players. They are in it for the spotlight of being a good player. They would rather beat a good player for 100 to prove they are better than to beat a sucker for 1000 who can't run 4 balls.

I'd much rather stay a mediocre player and take home the cash, even if I occasionally get called a lockartist.

You are a new V.I.P. member! You and I share the same train of thought pertaining to gambling..I'd much rather a $1,000 score from a pool junkie,accu-stats watchin',$3,000 Southwest cue havin',Bush-league playin' sucker..Than to be in the sweat box against Tony Watson!

I am not mad at my wallet ..Not to mention, I have never bought a hamburger with a first place nine ball open trophy.

I just got off the phone with Jack Cooney

OMG. He was in a class by himself. Here was a guy who could play championship speed One Pocket, and had weak players playing him even. And for BIG bucks too!

Jack made the biggest scores year in and year out. No one else was close, unless you want to count what happened at The Rack in Detroit. And that was gambling. What Jack was doing wasn't gambling. It was stealing, with style!

He suggested that I change the name from "lock-artist club" to "Jack Cooney club" LOL ...

Only problem is that I must pay him to use the rights to his name! Oh well,looks like I've been suckered by the greatest locksmith of all times

Then the typist for your posts must be Eddie Brown's wife, because he can't type.

[Walt Frazier]

Never said I could type

I'm sorry,I did'nt realize that you were the head of the typing department at UNO;My bad

Too many hours beating suckers like yourself and not enough time on the keyboards I presume ..LMAO!!!

 

[Walt Frazier]

What a waisted youth!

I know I should have been in typing class;I would have learned so much from the great Professor Joey A.. but I chose to live a life less suited for a world class typist

WALT,

You type a good game.

Let me know if your coming to MEMPHIS for the turkey day shootout.

I also went to SIU for a minute.

 

[Walt Frazier]

No,you misunderstood me

I saw Eddie Brown only once and you do not look like the person in that photo.I am now confused.

I am not Eddie;when I said"if you know eddie then you also know me (paraphrasing)" what I mean is that Eddie and I are good friends and we have made a lot of dough together over the years..I had a small piece of Eddie's place in Bridge City a few years back...

But then again,I'm sure you know me as one of the 50 greatest B-ballers!

What's with the "Your typing stinks" crap? How much of an ass are you ?
do you not understand my posts..? Why don't we all get together and have an AZ Billiards typing competition to please your square,no gambling ass oh great one.

That's pretty womanly of you Joey to criticize another man's typing on an anonymous forum..You really look like an idiot;No Joke.

 

[the9ballroller]

Why don't you go play Vita some more...oh wait...he has already busted you once before. Not much of a lock artist if you are mad at your money as you put it.

Did you ever gamble with Jr. (Cliff) Brown when he lived in New Orleans for 7 years? He and Humphrey ran together all the time, and Jr. used to own Bourbon street while he was there.

Newsflash AZbilliards!

I am not Eddie Brown;however,after reviewing my posts I understand the misconception..as for you 9ballroller,I'll take your post with a grain of salt.Although Eddie is my friend he is not a lock artist and will gamble against Efren if he felt like he had a gamblers chance..

Well,I might try you some;what do you wanna do?

 

[Walt Frazier]

No ..
