BS:...One time we played, it is going to be hard to believe, we played sixty-one consecutive hours. And, I was on a high you wouldn’t believe; my adrenaline was really flowing. After he quit I said, ‘Who’s next?’
1P: After 61 hours, you were ready for more?
BS: Yeah. Then I played the guy from Kansas, a good road player [later recalled as Greg Stevens]. Well, anyway, I played him for another five hours for something like $20.00 a game, right after playing for like $2,000.00 a game!
1P: Wow, that’s some stamina!

I have played in the "Greg Stevens Family Game Room" in Wichita KS where Stevens was from, and the room was called Greg, not Craig, Stevens. I meant to talk to the owner about it, but apparently he hung out at his other Greg Stevens room in that town (there are at least two of the rooms with the Stevens name in Wichita, and they are in no way family game rooms.) Rough place, but the gold crowns were not as rough as the rest of the place....it's the kind of room where pregnant teenage girls bring their one year old babies to smoke and listen to blaring hip hop crap. I don't remember where I heard the Craig vs. Greg stuff.... maybe in some book?

Your right he was speedy,You know the same players I do ,Have we met? I must know you!!!fred bentivegna said:At the Le Cue poolroom in Houston, TX, where I spent a little time, Greg Steven's weekly ritual was to play continuously from thursday thru sunday. He would go home to sleep and rest from monday to wednesday. He would usually eat one gigantic meal on thursday and then play straight thru. He did this religiously for a couple of years. He did supplement his diet with speed pills.
