Right Lou, can't do the level of work I do, and never will be able to, and have never had me do any work for you, yet you're self qualified to comment on the work I do.....gotcha
Why is it, that those who do the least....

Are you a pencil pusher, a keyboard worker, or do you actually perform manual labor to make a living Lou, of which I highly doubt.
We agree on something. Imagine that.
Are you perhaps thinking of Q-Master Billiards being for sale rather than the US Open pool tournament?
Barry mentioned on stream that the room is for sale, and I think he said $1,500,000.
Back in 2005, he announced that it was for sale for a "non-negotiable" $3,000,000, and the buyer could not keep the name.
In 2014, he again announced that it was for sale, this time for $2,000,000 "and not a dollar less," and the buyer could use the name.
Now, 2015, if I heard correctly (which wasn't exactly easy to do during his pre-finals prattle), it's $1,500,000.
Edit -- In post #34, Sofla says he remembers Barry saying $2.5 million. I think he is correct.

You would never be able to do what I have done, so what?
All I've got to go on is what you present here and the good word of those that have dealt with you. That's plenty.

I'm referring to those jumping on Jay and Mark, and all those that would like to ride the band wagon. What the hell is stopping them from stepping up and doing a better job, thus showing the world how to do it right, rather than sit behind a keyboard and do nothing but complain about those who in fact ARE doing the best they can with the cards they're delt
how does it feel gold crowns are nicer than diamonds?
Are you a pencil pusher, a keyboard worker, or do you actually perform manual labor to make a living Lou, of which I highly doubt.
What difference would it make if I told you I spent time working in a factory for several years doing the worst, smelliest kind of work or that I apprenticed to a craftsman for awhile?
It would be totally irrelevant to the fact that this is a discussion board and an appropriate place to talk about all things pool.
Your arguments make no sense. Anyone in any line of work can see that.

It's better to remain silent, and thought a fool.......
That's a damn good question and I'd like to see someone give a really
good answer to it. Sure it's a lot of work and not much to gain from it
but from some of the peoples posts here they seem to have plenty of
cash but no one steps up to take a swing at it. Maybe it's just not as
easy to pull off a successful tournament of this size?
I know if I had the money and a room like the one that just opened,
I'd be all over it but sadly I do NOT
Good luck to anyone that would like to give it a try

I could post 12k and have 16 world class pool players come to my house for a barbecue and tournament. It's pro pool and it, like this thread, is a trainweeck.
I'm struggling with that image ;P
The Gold Crowns I work on...look like they belong in a burn pile, so which ones are you referring to, but I guess it's all a matter of opinion, don't you think?
I was pretty sure I heard $2.5 M. That was on the stream in my room, waiting for him to be through his spew before going down.
I couldn't agree more, there's a lot of experts here on AZ, or so there seems, always jumping on others trying to do the best they can with the cards dealt them....but it's never good enough for those that don't have to step in and do the same thing. It's always easy to run ones mouth from the sidelines, than it is to step in and get your hands dirty trying to do the same job of those that you're so willing to complain about
I'll be the first to admit Diamond makes very nice tables. I'll also add I think they play a lot different than Gold Crowns, which are my preference. People say Diamonds play tougher and that prob it true. Thats no - a - good for me, I like them easy
. The first time I played on a diamond BB was at SBE. It was so strange to me I think I went almost half hour before I ran two balls and my friend asked me what was wrong - was I drunk? Lol. ALOT different than the VALLEYS. ( I like be able to hit a ball half way down the long rail and pocket it )I think you are right; not sure why I was thinking 1.5. So at 2.5, he's half way between 2005 and 2014. :smile:
