Jam,JAM said:Gerry Slivka is a good dark horse. However, I haven't seen him too much lately, tournament trail or action, which makes me think he could be working instead of playing pool.
Tom D'Alfonso is a good Calcutta bet, if there is one. By choice, he's traveled under the radar, but those who know his game are aware of his strengths. Last I saw him, he was on the road and the grapevine said he was making big scores.
Dennis Hatch is always a good tournament player. He's got pool in his blood, kind of a family thing, and as long as he ain't quarreling with his girlfriend and his head is screwed on straight, the Hatchet is one fierce competitor and can get there.
You gotta like Ryan "Genie Man" McCreesh. He came in second place at the last Turning Stone Casino event several months ago. I think he has a thing about playing in his native New York State that fires his engine up.
Last but not least, if we're talking dark horses, Steve Tavernier of Providence, Rhode Island, was hitting 'em like a machine beating Ryan for the first-place prize. I'm sure he's looking to do a repeat!

I think there is one more *not-so-dark* horse who will be there. I think his name is McCready, or something like that

I sure hope he's going to play well. I can't believe it's almost next week already.
I've been to the Turning Stone before, and it's first class all the way. The rooms are dreamy, though I may not spend too much time there. The major distraction is going to be the crap tables. Keith has the same enthusiasm for throwing dice as he does when he's playing pool. It's quite entertaining when he's winning, and he does know how to draw a crowd!
This field is going to be a tough one, a nice warm-up for the U.S. Open with some of the best players in the world. It will be nice to see old faces and meet a few new ones, too. One thing for sure, whoever wins this one is going to have to bring their BEST game to the table!

I am so sad!!

I need to come home soon...lol

We will have brackets and pics from Diana. Along with the "insider reports" from Jam, we should all be set.

I am actually from Oneida. But my sister lives in Rome now. That place is a ghost town since they closed the base! Are you still in the Air Force?
Yeah, I agree about JAM... I try and read every post she writes but it's hard to keep up with her!
Thanks Koop,
Justin

Oh yeah. That was my stomping ground for about 3 1/2 years. I really loved it up there and if it weren't for the base closing I would probably still be active duty.
Oh well. Life since hasn't been too bad
Maybe when you return there will be another tournament and we can meet up.
Take care,
Koop
