It's true...a week before Diamonds closed I lost the tournament directors job because of the crap that happened on here...big whop.....I used to take things way to personal..but I've moved on from that..They also said they were bringing in some guy from out of town to run the place, but that didn't happen..
Diamonds was one of the best things that ever happended to Dallas..it just wasn't stable enough to survive so the owners gave up..I used to work at CJs in Dallas for two years..Action was nonstop there..Even on Wed...nights it never was the same at Diamonds...I never witnessed the same around the clock action...
Billy did a great job bringing in players from all over the country to play, and they were some of the best..but the local players just weren't around enough on a consistent basis..Different reasons for everyone...No Smoking, Prices kept changing, and so on..
I never said I was a great player, but come on up to my tournament this weekend and we'll play some..I only know a couple of players from oak cliff...and I know your not Juan...so go ahead and bring it..I've played almost anybody including Joey Barnes..did I like it? no, but I like going up against the impossible..I've been a competitor my whole life, why stop now?
