Does anyone remember Billy Weir. He played jam up 9 ball.
I agree with Weir. Shoot out 9 ball was a game of skill. Texas Express makes it more of game of chance. It's becoming somewhat common today for tournaments to ditch the 3-foul rule, but until they go back to full shoot out the game will stay silly.I stopped into Billy's pool room in Odessa a few months back. He is trying to sell it but he said it brought in more than forty thousand dollars a month for so many years that he got rich, but he and his wife have worked too hard. Billy said he now has enough money to retire and go play poker in Vegas. He also said, the day they changed nine ball to one foul, ball in hand he quit and hasn't played a game since. Good for you, "Billy the Kid".
Keep it nice. Alfie
