Great read.
Great read.
Wow. This will be one wild tale for quite a time to come.
In a sick kind of way Trudeau did do good for pool. He showed a false but dazzling glimmer of what pool could be in different circumstances; he basically showed players their fantasy of a well-organized and highly paying tour. In the process he embarassed the local tours that lay claim to the current professional pool scene, and many had to bump up their winnings and aire of professionalism for fear of being written off as small-timers. By giving pool a pipe dream of its potential he may have raised the bar.

BULL$HIT. The established local tours like Derby Classic, Windy City, Valley Forge, US Open, Turning Stone Classic have been well organized and have paid what was common in the industry. KT didn't do squat for the pool scene except mine the confidence of pool players for up-coming small tour promoters.
I don't think he will be strutting through any pool halls anytime soon.
