I played Jack about five years ago in Vegas. He played extremely well. Haven’t seen or heard about him since

I think he quit pool and started playing cards.. He always liked cards.. I remember back in the 70's, before the Holdem craze, he liked Lowball quite a bit. Prepare an extra chair for Barb, of course...

Jack was one of the, BEST 'Lemon' hustlers around!

He would lay down spreads for optimum, 'suckers' for months!

One of the very few pool payers I ever met, who had the patience to wait for the, 'Long Money!' He knew how to do more than just play pool. ;)

Jack and Barbara reside in LasVegas, both are doing well health-wise and just enjoying life. Whenever I go to Vegas I always hook up with them we are very good friends

First one I saw give the "scratches dont count" spot. Did he invent it?
He was a master at it.
