Thanks everyone..... and 2 weekends ago he met Corey Deuel and got a chance to play with him.

Jin is in the hot seat for I think the intermediate group right now waiting.

I'm not surprised that Jin is in the hot seat....he's got a stroke.

Maybe by the time he's ten or eleven, he'll learn how to work a room.....
....when you start out by beating the best, it kills your action.

Pretty cool. Was the little boy sitting also yours?

Yes, he had just arrived from coming back from the hotel and came and sat down.

That is Kenji at age 5 and placed a hard fought 3rd while Jin went undefeated, no games lost in any matches for 8 ball for a 1st in intermediate.

And thanks everyone, I read the comments from here back to him every so often. Jin is all smiles, we just got back home to Denver from Rawlins WY and he is still full of energy. Kenji on the other hand is a little tired as should be haha.

Forgot to mention, Corey was again a class act giving Kenji lots of compliments after he received his 3rd place.... Mike Massey asked how the kids were doing, let him know Jin was about to play his last match for 1st/2nd and he quickly got up and told his (wife? or friend) that he had to come watch this match.

Mike watched and had some very nice things to say about Jin. It was towards the end of the day, most had left or were leaving but he stayed the match was over.

Excellent video!
Loved it.
Would be nice for the kids if you could edit out some of the "adult commentary" at around the 2:35 mark. I had to rewind to double check.
Sounds like Maria is a little adventurous. Lol
Takes away from the innocent nature of the video.
But that's just how Maria rolls I guess!

Wow that’s awesome. How long has your son been playing? I heard 4 months in the video?

What an awesome story, thanks for sharing. Hopefully pocket billiards blossoms by the time he is an adult, has a great future if he keeps playing. :smile:
