Well, JCIN, that's not the business I have chosen to pursue. I wish you success. I know that it cannot be easy.
I myself got into debt over pool beginning in 2002, I think was the year. Going to three and four tournaments every month is expensive, but I'm preaching to the choir with you. I know you're aware of how expensive it is on the road. Week-long events can be draining not only financially, but physically, emotionally, and mentally.
I am kind of surprised that you had no knowledge about Harry Platis. I really, really am.
Harry wanted this match between Billy and Keith to take place elsewhere, where there would not be a distraction of a large tournament like the Open. He even suggested a "friend's house" in Vegas to have it take place. These are Harry's words and not mine, and I know I relayed them to Chad.
It's kind of funny that everybody working on this match between Billy and Keith knew about this except you. Billy certainly knew it, as did Harry Platis. It is unfortunate that I have deleted those PMs that I wrote to Chad, but I wrote him about it more than once. I also spoke with him on the telephone about Harry Platis staking Keith.
It is kind if disheartening to read your response on this thread.
