Who is THIS guy?

I like the fact that every table is being used. In my corner of the armpit of Armpit of America, pool halls are closing left and right. The few that are still open are never filled like this one. Oh and one more thing, if the hall in the pic's is in Florida, there are plenty of other things to do. I have 5 inches of snow and its like 18 degrees outside.

I've seen this guy before. His name is Jay Helfert. He's a real choker. You play league, so you probably could get by offering him the 6, maybe the wild 7 - don't worry, I've never seen him run more than 2 balls in a row - it's probably the glove.

Also, if he tells you he won the US Open, tell him he's full of crap. That was some guy named Schmidt and he looks nothing like him.

Here is a side by side...

You can almost hear the sweet sound of late '70's porn music in the background when looking upon that awesome porn stache...

I auditioned for a few movies, but I guess I just didn't have the right stuff. I was a few inches too short. :)

After all, I'm only 5'7". What did you think I meant? You guys have a very dirty mind!

Run out player, big deal. We have all kinds of run out players in our league.
You think this guy is special........fancy glove.

We have more run out players than anyone:

Run out of cash
Run out of luck
Run out of talent
Run out of good rolls
Run out of excuses
Run out on the bar tab
Run out on weekly league dues
Run out on air barrels
Run out of toilet paper
Run out of beer

Well, that's why I re-assesed my glove wearing stance :D
Gloves are OK unless there is another symptom of Wannabeism to go along with them. Glove + Fiberglass + scoop jumping = Bad, Glove + 400 run = Good
 
APA 7, a glove and an OB-1 shaft. The perfect combo.

When an APA 7 with a glove and an OB-1 shaft shows up, everyone wants to go to the pool hall to see them play. ;)

Sure hope to see John at the Bar Box tournament in Reno next week. He can really play on the Bar boxes too!

I remember a guy from your town named dave favor .....
 
I remember dave favor from 9 years ago in the fort worth tx area. Nice guy, weird weird style / stroke, pretty good player.
 
Guys, I was just joking, guess I should have done :rolleyes: instead of :D .


John was in town (Dallas) doing some promotional stuff for OB1. Royce invited him to come and hang out with our BCA A Masters team. He graciously accepted and we had a great time. John is a cool guy, stayed the whole time, played alot of games with us, put together some packages, showed some incredible stroke and was open to giving advice.

If this is true and nobody at league knew who he was it's........
If players from the largest pool league don't know John, where is their bang for the buck? Sad...very sad. Johnnyt

If somebody who calls themselves a pool player didn't know who he was, then they shouldn't call themselves a pool player.:eek:

This is like Barry Bonds walking onto a local baseball field wanting to play some pick up baseball and guys not knowing who he was. Only this is worse cause I like pool waaaay more than any other sissy sport.

If he came into my room and somebody there didn't know who he was, I PROMISE I would help him set up a game with the highest better there. And after the only thing left in their pockets were mothballs, I would gladly tell them that they just had the pleasure of losing to one of this generations great young players.
And for the fun of having watched the robbery, er, um, "matches", I would refuse any jellyroll offered.:D

It's a shame that talent like that labors in obscurity.
