If somebody who calls themselves a pool player didn't know who he was, then they shouldn't call themselves a pool player.
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.
It's a shame that talent like that labors in obscurity.
