This might be useful for al the hustlers/fans/youngsters out there? Could anyone help me compile a list of which city all the top pro's live and which billiard hall they are house pro or spend most time practising at? I have started the ball rolling based on the UPA ranking please feel free to add to this list as I'm sure I have missed many top money players/pro's...

Johnny Archer
Jose Parica
Charlie Williams
Rodney Morris
Mika Immonen NYC / Amsterdamn Billiards
Santos Sambajon
Ralf Souquet
Tony Robles
Efren Reyes
Max Eberle LA / Hollywood Billiards
Ronnie Wiseman
Mike Davis
Danny Harriman
Luc Salvas
Jimmy Wetch
Nick Varner
Neils Feijen
Francisco Bustamante Germany ?
Tony Crosby
Alex Pagulayan Hawaii?
John Schmidt
Buddy Hall
Marcus Chamat
Danny Basavich New Jersey?
Scott Frost
Nick Vandenberg
Thorsten Hohman
Corey Deuel
Jimmy Reid

Also if any of these players want to publish what stakes/terms they offer then it might help them get some action? If we get a good list I will put it online somewhere.
 
im guessing the ones that are actually house pro's it would say that some where online for advertising purposes, use google, i used johnny archer for an example, www.google.com search "johnny archer" "house pro" quotes does exact match only

Ha, you forgot me.
 
Hey Rude Dog, sorry man I just took most of them off the UPA list LOL
But come on you can do better than that, I'm sure a man of your calibre knows a few details about the top players out there?

At the moment it looks like Florida is romping home, looks like florida doesn't just own the record for more models per population! (ok so maybe that's just miami :-)

And if they could please let us know how much money they have, it would really help.

Great list. Got to include Jeremy Jones, the 2003 U.S. Open winner!

Sure, thanks MS, any idea where he's based / plays? I will add more over the weekend and maybe put them online somewhere. At the moment it looks like there are a few real hotbeds emerging....

Manilla
Osaka
Kao Hsiung and Taipei
Florida
NY (North East)

I have a lot of Pro Player locations but still missing many pool halls where they play. This will be really usefuly to those of us that travel a lot and/or are looking for a base to play pool.
