I went to Reno this year for the first time. It was quite the experience. I played in all 3 venues even though I don't play 9 or 10 ball up here in Kalispell. I guess I did as well as I could expect but not as well as I had hoped. Those 7 foot Diamonds were faaaaast. Most of my mistakes were over rolls. Cost me a lot of games. But I had a great time regardless. Got to meet and talk to a lot of pro players and watch some really great matches on the TAR table. I even shot a couple racks on the TV table between matches just so I could say I did.lol. Thanks JCIN. Got every autograph I could for my room including Lou Batera's. Yes, I'm the guy that was asking everyone to sign the oversize playing cards. Thanks for indulging me guys, it meant alot to me. Special thanks to Mitch Ellerman for beating me in the 8ball 5-2. Ha! It was my best match. Only one missed shot between us. See ya next year. Don
