Too bad ESPN dropped the women pros...With ESPN switching to poker, I guess they know ratings better than I...sure is sad though.

Well, pool goes on. Next week, beginning Thursday at Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City Oregon is a big open tournament. 8 ball played on 7' tables. I just read the entry list, and it reads like a who's who of the pool world. Not just the best players in the USA, there are also Philippino (sp?) guys showing. Just off the phone with my honorary nephew who is a BCA grand master. He was evasive about entering. I can understand that...Matt's a very good amateur who can sneak up on a pro now & then, but against this field? He'd get his brains beaten in. 1st place pays $15,000, which is enough to bring out the big boys.

I know nobody here knows who top pool players are, but if I made anybody curious, search youtube for Dennis Orcollo and Shane Van Boening Both will be there.

Hell, my cue needs a new tip and there's usually a cue repair booth there. Might drive over on Friday just to watch a match or two as well as give my cue a new Kaumi Black medium tip.
