Who Is Playing In the Viking Amateur Nationals Events ?

Mike, what are the smoking rules at Mr. Cues 2 and Side Pockets?

I and quite a few others can't do smoking-allowed events. But I know what a TOUGH issue that is because so many pool players still smoke.

Jim

Not only is it smoking, it has very poor ventilation, they have smoke eaters but never turn them on. :confused: We are lucky if they turn on the AC!

Yes. One of your Open events a couple of years ago. I sponsored Bobby Pickle and played myself. I don't recall where but somewhere not too far from Nashville.

I'll be at the one this weekend.. probably more after. Unsure of which ones because it's a good drive from NC.
 
I'll be at going to at least the first one at Q's...probably the second one at Q's as well.
 
No, not that one. I think that was the year I first met Bobby at the DCC and we hadn't become good friends.

I think it was 2-3 years ago.

Sorry I don't remember the city. Did you have one in Chattanooga at a place other than Diamonds???

Regards,
Jim

Charlie's place ? it was a $2,000 added flop. Even though we had less than expected for players (22?) we still added the $2K. That was one of the events thet the word GUARANTEED cost me a little but hey. Sometime it's a crap shoot.

Bar Tables in the side room and 1 for action in front of the Bar. That place right ?

Pickle was in some kind of action the entire time. Were you backing him ?

YEP...that was it and yes, I backed Bobby in the event and the action. Came out winners too.

I got to 5-1 against a top roadie whose name I don't recall...missed a shot and had two more hail mary shots the rest of the match!

All glory is fleeting!!!

I do recall it was a small turnout but a VERY well run event.

Sorry I can't do smoking events any more. I actually get dizzy and a severe headache. What finished it for me was having to walk out of a JOBs tournament with one more win to get into the finals!!!

I have heard that ex-smokers like me can sometimes get more severe allergic reactions than those who have never smoked. I realize there is nothing you can do about it.

Sorry but you are right. There isn't much I can do about it.

However, I do have a suggestion. A Gal that comes to many of my events has the same reaction as you to smoke. To overcome this (she loves playing this much) she wears an allergy mask while playing. They come in several different colors and I imagine you could get used to it if you play with one long enough.


I personally wish they would BAN cigarettes and get it over with. I have personally been trying to quit since I started. 1st ciagrette was a Camel non filter I stole from Grandpa when I was about 6 or 7. WTF was I thinking?

PS... It was nice to have met you back then.
