I beat Buddy Hall and Norman Hitchcock at Truloves in OKC in 1970 playing 9 ball.. I was with a guy named Billy Jordan who liked pool and was my stake horse... We won several thousand over two days of playing and I was wore out...
I went to the motel to get some rest because we were supposed to play again the next day...
I musta slept 10 hours and when I woke there was no Billy in sight... I went to Truloves and there Billy was, playing Hitchcock one pocket... I was totally stunned to find out that we were broke and firing an air barrel... Billy was a sucker for big spots and thought he had the cold blooded nuts... Hitchcock was giving Billy 16/2 and all the breaks... Now if i had been there, I would never have allowed Billy to play... The break was a detriment to Billy, Billy scratched on the break abou 50% of the time... Anyway, 16/2 seemed like an incredible spot to give, but Hitchcock did it... He busted us...
