I played him one pocket.I refused to play for money and playing for money is not my MO.we played only one game which took quite a bit of time for me to finish it.Ofcourse, I won that game.I do not remember how long ago was that ( less than 4 years ago).I travelled so much and it became hard for me to organize my memory.
Funny thing was ,when I was practicing a particular shot he asked me how to do that shot.I knew he was pulling my legs.But I took it on it`s face value , acted very naive and showed him how to do that shot.I thought that the whole thing was silly.
It doesn't surprise me at all. He's a HUSTLA. He really is an okay guy who grew up in the past couple of years.
He has a lot of talent and shoots very straight. He now has the full time job, a new home, the wife and kids. Had he made some other decisions, I think he would have been one hell of player. At least though, he made the right choices and I respect him for that.
You know as well as I though, no matter where you go, it takes all kinds to make up a pool hall.
