I played my first game of one pocket in 1955 on a 5 x 10 snooker table at Ernie's in Monterey Park CA about 6/7 miles from downtown Los Angeles.
My opponent was Dado the Filipino and I had no chance. Later on I saw him gamble high with top road players getting a little weight.
He left town for a few years and we played again around 1959 and I beat him for $50 and he quit. The guy who was with him busted me. I found out later it was San Francisco Phil, one of the best one pocket players out of Cochran's in San Francisco.
