U.S. OPEN 2026, Frisco, Texas, August 25-30

I will be attending this event. I have been following pro pool off and on for 26 years. Other than the ill fated Galveston world classic and the one and done southern classic this is the biggest event I have ever gone to sweat.

It was $34 per day at the Caribe Royale, site of the recent Florida Open. Lucky for me, I didn't have a car that week.

Will we see you front/center this yr?

Will we see you front/center this yr?

Yup, Bill, I'm headed to the US Open 9ball. First five days of a Matchroom major usually has no primary arena, and I tend to focus on the outer tables. No idea where I'll be sitting on day six.

When is your boy Orcollo coming back?

He can return next year.

I heard that if you are a guest at the hotel venue, you must pay $22.00 per day for parking. Insane!!

Why have a car if you're staying all week? If you drive in, you can find free/cheap parking elsewhere in the city, or parking at a friend's house (mine happens to own a Mansion in Dallas)... At the same time, it's only 60-80k points for a room , so if your room is free you just pay parking.

I'll be in the presidential suite, if any top players want to swing by and have a drink on me, take photos, make connections for a possible backer/stakehorse (I'm based in Denver) just shoot me a DM. I'm friends with people like Piggy Banks (actually helping him make a book).. you'll know me by the exotic bright colored gator, croc, and ostrich leg shoes I wear. Plus I have the presidential suite at Embassy for the weekend, and seems only have 1 of those in the building.

RIP Freddy.
