Was talking about this last night.
God i hope so bad this happens.
What's the status in NOLA? I've been wanting to get back like crazy.
Is it any fun yet? Is Buffalo's open?

 

[BRLongArm]

Open, no fun. No pool allowed in Louisiana. All pool halls closed or just serving alcohol. But on a good note, Diamond is sending 8 brand new tournament tables to Buffalos. He is expanding about 5,000 ft. to add a tournament room. Should be ready by May. Maybe we can talk him into making the tournament room a One Pocket museum, too. Would be a great place to see all the historical one pocket memorabilia. Buffalo is pretty game for anything, so we'll see how it goes.

Maybe he can make the tournament room non smoking. I think that would be a big plus for spectators. They do this at JOB's. Tournament room down stairs is non smoking.

Alex Lely, will we see a European contingent for the tournament? Filler the Killer would bring fireworks. If you guys come, I'll get him put in the tournament and staked for action. Lots of guys like his side of the action.

Will it be ok? To kiss the girls by then.

I'll bring my limited stuff down if he does that!

I hope Buff's survives the shut down. He does so much for the pool world.

It's a great time for serious one pocket enthusiasts. Whether it's gambling or just soaking in the stacked tournament roster, everyone enjoys themselves. I mean, how can you not? 24 hour action, kitchen, and about 60 of the greatest players around, along with the top 20 stake horses and action guys all under the same roof. I remember in 2018, the crews started coming in a week early. First it was Mobile, then Mississippi, then Atlanta, then Memphis and Houston, then Michigan. It was awesome. These guys were gambling thousands 24-7 before the calcutta had even started for the one pocket tournament. The rule in one pocket is no tournament play after midnight, so that opens all the tables for action immediately after the last match. Then the action continued for about five days afterward, culminating in Danny Smith giving Billy Thorpe 8-7, 9-7 and beating him out of 30K.

I would be great if Danny could regain that form.
