Thanks for the nice thoughts and words of encouragement for Keith.

I totally understand where John Schmidt is coming from. I mean, he is, in fact, the current U.S. Open champion, and as such, at least here in America, there seems to be no rewards for this prestigious honor. The U.S. Open win, in my opinion, is probably the BEST championship title for a pool player to hold anywhere in the world.
Good luck to John Schmidt in the upcoming event.

In the past, when Planet 9-Ball has been hosting tournaments, there have been a number of 'name' players that have called up to say, "pay my entry fee and lodging and I'll show up."
In many instances the room owner has bellied up and paid for these players. Sometime it's worth it to the room to advertise "the current U.S.Open Champion <insert other titles> will be playing in this event."

You have to strike while the iron is hot. Next year you may not the <insert title here> Champion. Now, John may not have the personality to call up the roomowner or the tournament promoter and ask for the room & entry fee, but he SHOULD.... imo

John, although I've never met you in our pool world; going on some friends words of trust about you, Best of Luck. I can remember when it was almost easy to get staked for $500-1000 for almost anything. The economy is bad and trust is low due to the lack of winnings on the "trail." Most do what they have to do (splitting, dumping, etc.). Happens all the time. After sitting here reading all of this mess, I plain out hope you win the M@$^$* F@#*#$. Poker has killed a lot of the gamble and action for pool. It is quite sad.

Most importantly to me, though, Keith is also working on improving his health and physical well-being, which makes me, oh, so very happy.

Good luck to John Schmidt in the upcoming event.

VERY glad to hear he's working his physical well-being. When ya get down to where the rubber meets the pavement nothing else is important.

Also wishing John Schmidt well.
