Who is the best player in Al playing one hole, banks, 9 and 10 ball on a big table? Who's the best barbox player? I thought since many want to know who the best in certain states are, this would be ok. Lets here the opinions?

One hole, I would say Brandon Davenport and Frankie Gattina
Banks, I would say Jo-Jo Cole
9-Ball, I would put Shane Galamore, David Rowell
10-ball, I would say Jason Hill
Best Barbox player is up for grabs....what game?

I believe Mike Laney is living in Alabama now. He's pretty stout at all games. Robert Hall in Huntsville also plays pretty well.

Is Jimmy King still around and playing or is he still kidding himself thinking he's a great poker player?

It used to be Clyde R. Jones, from Decatur. They called him "The Alabama Crimson Clyde." The guy could run out from anywhere, at any time.
Last I heard, Clyde was no longer playing but was working a booth in the midway at a county fair. For a dollar a shot he would guess your weight.
Someone asked him why he would give up pool to work at a carnival. Clyde just shrugged and said, "Your guess is as good as mine." :smile:

Just a couple names here, I don't know everyone in AL personally but I know these guys and they play ok. Don't know about best in the state but I'm pretty sure Harold will match up with anyone.

Mike Laney
Harold Macabee

Jonathan Tedder "the Boaz Bandit" / "Tedder"

I think Cliff now lives in La. David Tress use to play good. Is Scotty still in Dothan? I haven't seen him anywhere in over a year. If anyone knows the people mentioned and they want to play some in Cullman, contact me.

Me, for a short time

I was at one time, but only for 4 or 5 hours. I was just driving through the state though.
