Becky
Many years ago, Becky and her two "friends" lightened a lot of pockets on the bar tables in my town. If a man was never distracted from the game when she was shooting you were either gay or dead!

Before my time in NO
I didn't get down to New Orleans much until the last few years. I was a little north of the Baton Rouge area and tended to head to points south and west plus wherever business took me. A Marilyn clone would definitely get the cash though.
Becky was dark with more of a Jane Russell figure. Fortunately we were friends and didn't gamble seriously because I wouldn't have stood a prayer! More than one pigeon passing through mistook her for just a bimbo with a bodacious bod. She would leave them broke and quivering before they realized they were in a battle.

This is off subject but any of you NOLA players know of Mikey Holmes?
Any stories about Lori Shampoo? She could play.
I remember Lori Shampo passing through FLA in the late 70's early 80's.
I should remember . . .
Dang! I should remember it if I ran across her. Unfortunately much of the early seventies are just a blur. Good Times!

I went into a room in Amityville, Long Island in the mid-seventies. It was a barbershop with five or six nine footers in the back. The owner’s name was Basil. I can’t remember his last name but he owned three poolrooms on the island. I had beat a black guy named Cigar for about three hundred the day before and was going to try to get him to play me some more giving him a spot. I believe he was the local pimp or bookie…I forget now. I don’t remember much of the sixties or seventies myself.
Anyhow he wasn’t there and neither was Basil. There was a girl of about eighteen behind the counter. When I told her I was looking for Cigar to play some twenty-dollar a game nine-ball she said she would play me some twenty a game until Cigar got there.
When I asked her to call the coin she said if I beat Cigar I should give her the break at least. I did and she broke and ran five racks on me before I quit her. To this day I don’t know who she was. I never went back in that room again and never told anyone about losing to a girl. Yes I was like that back then. From that day on though I respected their game a lot more and was very careful what women I played for money. Johnnyt

all I could do is laugh
I had to laugh out loud. It used to be a safe assumption that about 95% of the ladies couldn't play serious pool. Every once in awhile you bumped into one of the others though and it was a surprise. I never played her and had forgotten but my old road partner's sister played well enough that she took down some fair sized local open tourneys around Baton Rouge and Houston.
