I'm not sure of that one Purdman. I'm sure he does at times, but I'm sure he also has partners.
He came in Fast Eddie's in Spring last winter (8 Ball Rat was with me and saw him) and gave up a little too much weight to a local player (plays/gambles real good) for some, I think, $200 races to 5. He had a group of guys with him. He played real good, was a gentleman, but couldn't get there with that particular game. He just gave up too much. I think VARick was there too. Not sure how it turned out as I left - but we watched them play for a while.
Heard he gave Pooky the 7 ball recently and beat him for an undisclosed sum. That is pretty darn strong! I can't verify that though. Just pool grapevine talk as of right now.
