I can remember when I was a kid, my brother, and dad, going to see one or both these guys at a pool hall. Would have loved to witness these guys myself. The Hustler prolly my favorite movie of all time.my Grampa played pool against MN fats. Granted most every kid in Minnesota was told that about their Grampa growing up but this one trure.
Im not however a cousin of Prince like most people in MN will claim!
This was my game back in the day. Was only a few who could beat me and my back end partner. Wasn't as good as these guys though.
Minnesota Fats was fake news?
Kind of like Jimmy the Greek?
And some of those poker pros at the World Series of Poker who defeated fields of 15 or 20 players.
Thanks for sharing this Pete. I’m going to try and check it out on my firestick and NitroTv. Starts at 6:30 it says. I’m assuming that’s est. Sky Sports as well as a bunch of others. Been watching some cool pool videos on YouTube since posting this. Might even pull the cover off my table and see if I still got it anymore. That cover hasn’t been off in at least 5 years.Any of you guys gonna watch the Mosconi cup this year?? It starts tomorrow!!!!
As it has been the case for the last 5 years or so Europe has way more talent, but a few of their guys are very young, the pressure might get to them.
That is why I would play Shane as much as possible in the early going(he has been hot lately) and he would have to produce.
He will live up to his talent level eventually, right?
I think Europe will take it, but this one will be close

Nice enough. Just a 7 foot 2 slab slate you need a 2-3 man crew to remove it from my basement properly without screwing it up. I put it on FB Marketplace and Craigslist a couple times over the years just looking to get a couple hundred for it but no one will remove it for under $250-300 so essentially no one's paying me $500 for it so it continues to sit downstairs as a storage area much like many use their treadmill for.Nice table, Bushay?
I grew up with a cheapie in our basement.
I took it as 6:30 PM but because it's on the other side of the Atlantic you're prolly right being am.6:30 AM eastern tomorrow Bushay? u think one of he sky stations will show live? ill try to look into that.
Shit. Got busy and forgot all about this.Great feed on sky sports Main Event. bushay
