playing pool for money can be done from California to Kentucky LEGALLY in every state. As I said before, games that states deem as games of skill can be partaken in.

Apparently there is competition coming into this tournament arena. KT is going to have some work to do to clean up his past. Anyway, competition is very good expecially for our game.

I knew these guys....
JCIN,
I'm not Mr Incardona but I do know something of this case and the participants: Two Portland Ore. players went to a Seattle Wash. players house to match-up. The one Ore. player remained on the side betting while the other two played for money. A large amount was lost by the Wash. player. He refused to pay. A suit was brought and Harry Platuis(sp) tried the case. The ruling was the the Wash. player owed the other player the lost moneys(a game of skill) but he didn't owe the side bet moneys(gambling).......this case was a judicated in the late 70's........hope this helps in the discussion...

It's been a long, long time ago but I was arrested for gambling in a pool room, along with Jimmy Moore. It happened in Los Angeles one night after the World Championship matches. We had gone to a nearby poolroom to gamble. I think the cops were aware of the tournament and casing the pool rooms in the area. We got caught in the net.
The full story will be in my book "Pool Wars" coming soon.

Did you have to go to court? Did they charge you with something or just let you go?
Don't worry Jay.. I'll buy the book even if you tell me! Even the hardcopy edition if there's going to be one!

JCIN, ya know i love ya, but it is most definitely illegal to gamble on pool in several states, Ohio being one of them. As far as a pool room being raided, ask Jerry Conkel, who owns Sportsmans in Columbus about that. They had a big match going on in there with some very well known names and the cops were more than happy to come in and start arresting and ticketing people. It would have been a bigger loss if one of the players hadnt pulled the cash off the top of the light before the cops saw it. And I know several good players have been atleast ticketed in columbus for gambling, the state has a public website that you can check the criminal record of anyone and just for the hell of it one day i started typing in some well known players names that used to come through here when the action was nice back in the late 90's, lets just say more than one of them popped up there for being fined for gambling.

We were allowed to bail out for $52 after being booked, mug shots taken and fingerprinted! And that was the end of it, we forfeited our bail.

When a question like "do you believe in every word of the Bible" (actual question asked in the republican debate) finds it way into presidential politics, and the answer is the MOST analzyed question of the night, you are living in a moral majority country. I didn't say we were living it (senators caught in gay pick up mensrooms, etc....) however, if you examine the politics of the day, well, who can deny that the moral majority is being played to. Do you think a proud athiest (no I am not an athiest) could get elected president?
