I wouldn't mind if Mike was guaranteed to win every tournament. That means the other IPT players would be just playing for 2nd place but for there $199 entry fee they would be playing a couple tournaments for $800,000 one for $1,700,000 and another one for $2,500,000. It looks to me that Kevin and Mike are also helping out a lot of the older players that spent most of there lives struggling on the road playing the game that we all love. I think that's great that a lot of the guys that have been broke all those years are getting a little payback. I have a friend that won the British Open in golf and now is a multi millionare. I know Nick Varner is an 8 x World Champion and has won over a hundred tournaments and still works his but off every day to make a living. It will be nice to see these guys make a big payday so they can enjoy there lives witout the worry or struggle to make a living.
I feel very lucky to have been chosen in the IPT's 150 but if I didn't, I still would do anything I can to help Kevin, Mike and the IPT out to make it successful. I've been trying to help my pool playing friends out for a long time and Kevin has come up with a tour that can do it. I feel we have one chance to make this work becasue Kevin's going to get the big sponsors to final look our way. If it works, it will be the payday we were looking for in our sport, if it doesn't, who knows when we will have an oppertunity like this again. We need to forget about things that happened in Kevin's past or if Mike is in the finals of every tournament and all pull togeter and support Kevin and the IPT.
You are right, though, and I will lighten up on Mike.
