Wow, what an amazing feeling it was to win the Western BCA 9ball Masters tourney this week. My first tourney as a Masters player ended up with a win. Very unexpected since my scotch partner and I were out in two matches the day prior to the start of the singles tourneys. Having participated in several of the tourneys at Chinook Winds Casino, and watched the finals of the Masters divisions before it was a little strange to be the center of attention instead of watching it myself. I fed off the spectators, friends and teammates to play near error free my final two matches.

I started off strong and only got stronger as I worked my way through the bracket. Of course with an alternating break format you have to win your games but also get timely help from your opponent. I took advantage of peoples mistakes and limited my own. Winning my matches at 9-2, 9-6, 9-3, 9-3, 9-7, 9-1, 9-4. The final was versus Todd Marsh who lost his first match and then stormed though the losers bracket the whole way to face me, taking out Glenn Atwell and Pat Schumacher along the way.

My team also finished 2nd to Glenn Atwells team from Classics Billiards. It was a nice profitable weekend for sure. Time to take a few weeks off from pool though and get my cue refinished finally.

I want to thank Andrew "sharandrew" Monstis and the rest of the Western BCA staff for running a great tourney.

Congratulations on your victory against some very stiff competition. Todd Marsh can play.
Warm regards,

I tell you what, tho.. I'd much rather be in a ring game with Clyde than "Little" Mike Hutcheson. Mike was a half-Filipino Air Force TSgt stationed at the air base there in WA.

Playing money on the 5 and the 9, combos spot up on everything except 1 before the 5, 2 before the nine...

Well, let's just say Mike would put in multiple 5's and 9's in a game if he was running good. He had amazing cue ball control to get on combos in such a way as to be able to make the 9 again when it was spotted up.

Mike was extremely dangerous playing ring game 9 ball with spotting money balls. To have any chance at the money, you had to match him game for game. You couldn't let one of the other 2 or 3 players get a game at all.

If I remember, Jeff Jimenez used to play ring games up north. I never got to play in his ring games though. Heard they were tough.

I'll let Mike H. know that you said hi. And Jeff posts on here as Mr. J. Did you ever see UWPoolGod1 play? I haven't seen him play, but it must be at a pretty darn high level! Congrats again!
