Seattle Landmark Closes Doors 

The Best Medicine 

by: Arthur Bacon 

Thanks to a very smart girlfriend and Mr. Fulbright I spent most of this past 

year in Naples, Italy. Don’t believe any of the propaganda you hear about 

Italy. Remember Gibbon’s famous book, “The Decline and Fall of the 

Roman Empire”? In my nine months traveling from Campagna to Tuscany 

to the Veneto I saw nothing to suggest that Italy is not still in a reckless 

freefall (Google; New York Times “La Dolce Vita Sours”). Anyway, 

homesickness compelled me to check the web cam at Dr Cue’s in Seattle, 

WA at least once a week to see the 

action on “Table One”. I desperately 

missed The Doctor’s because, 

much to my horror and dismay, 

pocket pool is not a fashionable 

pastime in Italy, at least not in 

Naples. The most popular game 

there is some sort of bocce ball 

played on a billiard table where they 

actually throw the balls around the 

table. I can only assume that this is 

because they are too poor to be able 

to afford sticks. I don’t really know, 

but it rendered my Judd cue 

irrelevant. I practiced my stroke on 

the kitchen table and watched every 

You tube minute of nine ball, ten ball 

and one pocket I could download off 

that thing Al Gore invented. I had been addicted to the green felt, the clicking 

balls and dark ambience of pool. I looked forward to getting back to Seattle 

and getting some “holistic” therapy at The Doctor’s. 

Then, just as I was about to 

Bocce Ball 

Bocce Bocce Ball Ball 

come home, I find out that Dr. 

Cue’s has closed! I can’t believe it; I just cannot accept the fact that a 

place where I spent so many hundreds of hours, made so many friends, 

where, truth be told, I spent a small fortune...is gone forever. The mountains 

I climbed are still there, the rivers I have run are still there, Nicaragua and 

Patagonia where I have worked and traveled are still there....but The 

Doctor’s is gone. For two years in Seattle I practically lived at The Doctor’s. 

They probably would have let me sleep there if I had asked. I would get 

there in the early morning as they were cleaning, have coffee with Matt or 

Jeff and then remove to the back room and feel as though I had died and 

gone to heaven... all alone in the corner, savoring the total silence for 

hours as I practiced alone with my thoughts and fantasies. So what if it 

rained thirty days in a row! 

Once John Schmitt spent two weeks camped in his Motor Home in the 

parking lot. Another time Corey Deuel spent a week at The Doctor’s giving 

lessons and taking on some of the local “players”. I’ll never forget his late 

night one-pocket duel with Harry Platis. After watching Harry win with a 

heroic “Z” bank, I can tell you, if I ever have any legal problems, I’m gonna 

call Mr. Platis! Legendary pool. Guys like Mike Zimmerman, Chris Bartram, 

Rafael Martinez and the young Justin Bergman would show up now and 

then to liven things up. Meanwhile the 

inimitable Dan Louie and Todd Marsh 

were always around to keep things 

at a high standard on Table One. I’ll 

never forget Todd’s gutsy win over 

Chris Bartram and Jason Klatt in a 

high stakes One Pocket match. One 

Tuesday night my girlfriend and I 

watched enthralled as Todd Marsh 

and Mike Zimmerman gave a “clinic” 

on virtuoso safety play. It doesn’t get 

any better than that at Derby City. 

Tuesday nine ball tournaments were 

the highlight of most weeks at the 

Doctor’s bringing shooters from as 

far away as Vancouver and Portland 

for the two or three hundred dollar 

prize and $1,500 break pot. Some 

guys would buy twenty or thirty tickets just for a chance to try to sink the 

nine on the break. One night I had the winning ticket. Lets just say it is not 

one of my fonder memories since all eyes turned toward this weekly attempt 

at fame and fortune. Although I had been a good athlete all my life, I could 

never master the athleticism of an attention-getting, rocket-launching break 

shot. Once, when I was playing Chris Bartram’s road partner, Jason Klatt, 

he let me win the lag and I actually miscued on the break! A lot of the house 

players were watching as the cue ball slithered down the table into the side 

of the rack. Jason told me afterwards that he thought it might have been 

(Medicine continued on page 5) 

I too am sad that Dr Cue’s is closed. I remember when Matt and Jeff opened. I 

took a photo of them with their 

good friend Mike Massey in Las 

Vegas at the 2001 BCA Expo. 

I gave it to them while on 

deliveries , Mike came in with 

Gene Birkland the APA 

Operator and Mike signed the 

photo right then. I don’t believe 

they could have ad a bigger 

smile on their face. Talk about 

good timing. I know they hung 

it on their wall and were very 

proud of it. 

That’s the kind of memories 

that Dr Cue’s provided, some really simple and everyday stuff and some very 

memorable one like Corey and John Schmidt being there and many others as 

well as the everyday players. ---Don “Cheese” Akerlow

some sort of “hustle”. Of course, after I made my first shot he knew he 

was not being hustled. He was even good humored enough when, for the 

final rack, I racked the balls so loosely they hardly looked like a diamond. 

The astonished look on his 

face was worth the 

humiliation of the previous six 

racks; and then he smiled, 

and proceeded to atomize the 

balls all over the table leaving 

some doubt in my mind about 

the significance of a “tight” 

rack. The Doctor’s was the 

kind of place where you could 

play a great player like Chris 

or Jason for twenty bucks. 

A kid named Chuckie Holyoke 

used to be a regular at Dr. Cue’s and once in awhile we would play some 

sort of little hustle I would make up. Once I thought I could beat him in a 

game of caroms I had made up. I used to practice caroms endlessly from 

my days in Buenos Aires playing billiards. No luck. Another time I spent a 

few weeks practicing my “spot shot” and challenged him to a contest. I 

had some sort of special way of lining up the cue ball and object ball with a 

diamond on the end rail blah, blah, blah and was able to get seven or eight 

out of ten and feel proud of myself. Selfcongratulation 

blinded me to excellence. 

Chuckie just casually put the cue ball down 

near where he would as if to break and sunk 

ten in a row and walked 

back into the front room 

for some real action. 

Another time I 

challenged him to a race to five for ten bucks to which he agreed except 

that he had to play with his break cue and no chalk. Well, at least some day 

I hope I will be able to say that I beat a national champion... even if he was 

only twelve years old at the time! 

Some guys play for serious money and have to sweat out long, late-night 

hours of one pocket or nine ball. But there are other ways to make money 

in pool and the most embarrassing I ever saw was called Billiard University. 

Some guy from an obscure Dakota town began advertising in about October 

that he would be at The Doctor’s for “Billiard University” come January. A 

The Best Medicine continued from page 3 

thousand dollars would get you three days of instruction with Professor 

Bozo, “winner of over three hundred tournaments” and sundry other dubious 

recommendations. Half a dozen guys signed up and come January, found 

themselves sitting 

around one of the tables 

in the back room 

scratching their heads 

over arcane diagrams, 

taking multiple choice 

tests and listening to 

Professor Bozo explain 

his cornfield theories of 

pool, the most interesting 

thing I happened to 

overhear being that 

“follow-through” is passé 

nowadays. He had a stick 

he must have picked up 

at K-mart and of course, 

never played a game, 

never even demonstrated an ability to run three balls. 

His whole deal was stroking. Months after he left I would 

see a couple of those guys stretching out their little 

string guides and sticky donuts and trying to stroke 

the ball without follow-through and have it come back 

straight. Yeah, and George Bush is going to learn to 

say “nuclear.” 

The thing I really loved about The Doctors was the fact 

that it was a serious players venue, a room where, at 

least several dozen very, very good players 

congregated daily and played for hour after hour with 

concentrated commitment. I would say that of the 

hundred guys who played there regularly only two or three might have been, 

to use an academic term, hawseholes; the rest were all regular guys, some 

of whom still had baggage from Viet Nam, credit card debt or bad marriages 

just like the rest of us. Anybody who doesn’t have “baggage” after the age 

of fifty hasn’t lived a very interesting life. But most of them were the kind of 

guys you could depend on in a donnybrook and if somebody didn’t show 

up for a week people would get concerned. And although most good players 

have their closely guarded secrets regarding kicks and banks and aiming, 

by and large I felt that I could ask just about anybody at The Doctor’s for a 

bit of advise now and then and it was given generously. 

I was going to move back to Seattle... but now...I don’t know. Without The 

Doctor’s where am I going to get my therapy?

A Kick-in Challenge 

By: Bob Jewett 

San Francisco Billiard Academy 

www.sfbilliards.com 

Email Questions to: 

jewett@sfbilliards.com 

harada@sfbilliards.com 

mejia@sfbilliards.com 

Here is a challenge shot that will help you to learn how 

the cushions work. It also leads naturally to some diamond 

systems for kicking. 

The challenge is to see how many 3-cushion shots it takes 

you to kick a ball into a pocket starting with the object 

ball on the spot. The rules are simple. The object ball 

begins on the spot. The cue ball begins anywhere on the 

table on each shot. The cue ball has to hit at least three 

cushions before contacting the object ball. The object 

Bob Jewett ball stays where you hit it to after each shot until it goes 

in the correct pocket. 

Tables differ, so even the first shot will need to be tailored to your conditions. On the 

table I play on, the cue ball goes as shown in the diagram if I shoot at Diamond A 

with running (left) follow. You should be able to find the right spot on your own table 

within a few shots if you go at it systematically. You can keep either the target or 

the starting point constant and vary the other to get a different 

angle. For example, if the cue ball goes too “long” from the 

illustrated spot, you 

could aim towards a 

spot closer to the side 

pocket along the long 

rail. You could also 

vary the spin on the cue 

ball, but I recommend 

keeping that a 

constant: equal parts of 

running and follow. 

“Short” and “long” are 

standard ways to refer 

to how the cue ball 

comes off of cushions. 

If a table plays “short” 

then you know to adjust 

the shot to come in 

“longer.” Which way to 

adjust is obvious after 

a little practice. 

Once you have moved 

the object ball off the 

spot — such as to spot 

B — you need to be 

able to hit it again. 

Now a system can be 

useful. If you can 

estimate the spot you 

need to hit on the third 

cushion, the corner-5 

system which I 

described in an earlier 

column is useful. (All 

my past columns are 

available on the OTBN 

website.) 

Another system I like 

for this challenge is the “opposite 3” which is explained fully in Robert Byrne’s book, 

“Wonderful World of Pool and Billiards.” Briefly, if you need to hit a ball at B, you put 

the cue ball in the mirror-image spot across the table at C and then simply shoot to 

X. This works quite well for a wide range of shots, but the spot X varies some from 

table to table. It will require some experimentation to find the spot on your table. 

Sometimes the spot is out in the middle of the table, such as at W. 

If you happen to knock the object ball to E, you’re in trouble. The normal 3-cushion 

path doesn’t work well there because the side pocket is in the way. Change over to 

the so-called “plus system.” Put the cue ball at F and shoot towards G, then hitting 

near A and C before going toeards the ball at E. The plus system is more sensitive 

to spin and speed than the corner-5, so you will need to experiment more to find 

what works best for your conditions. 

This challenge can be done as a competition for two or several players — whoever 

takes the fewest shots gets the pot and shoots first in the next set. 

Executive Billiards’ DELTA-13 Rack 

New Marketing Representation 

Parker, Colorado, June 4, 2008: Executive Billiards, makers of 

the DELTA-13 rack, is pleased to announce their marketing 

alignment with Samm Diep of Aurora, Colorado (creator of 

SammsPocket.com and PoolTipJar.com). Diep will be 

promoting and representing the DELTA-13 rack at 

upcoming professional and amateur events across the 

country in 2008. 

So far in 2008, the DELTA-13 rack is already the official 

Samm Diep 

rack for the UPA Tour and Tony Robles Predator 9-Ball 

Tour. It was also the sponsoring rack for the 8th Annual Predator International 10- 

Ball Championships in Las Vegas, NV. It will also be the official rack for the BCA 

GenerationPool.com 9-Ball Championships in Charlotte, NC during the BCA 

tradeshow. 

“I’m thrilled to have someone with her experience so close to home,” says Terry 

Taggart, founder of Executive Billiards. Samm Diep, “Cherry Bomb”, semi-professional 

player, instructor, writer, reporter, and author of “You Might Be A D Player If...” has a 

degree in marketing and comes from a strong business and marketing background. 

She plans to use her expertise and relationships in the industry to educate players 

on the quality of the DELTA-13 rack. 

“I couldn’t represent a product that I didn’t truly believe in. The wooden and plastic 

racks can’t touch the DELTA-13. It’s truly state of the art,” says Diep. She has been 

using the DELTA-13 rack during all her practice and teaching sessions. 

She’s not the only one excited about that rack so far. There’s already a buzz amongst 

the professionals that have been using it in the tournaments. “It’s the best rack I’ve 

ever seen. There are no spaces in between the balls. It’s awesome!” says Tony 

Robles, Professional Player and Predator 9-Ball Tour Director. “My custom laser 

engraved rack looks beautiful and works great! Straight pool enthusiasts will love 

the small size of this rack- many more break balls are usable with this thin but 

strong profile.” says Mike Fieldhammer (BilliardCoach.com), Professional Billiard 

Instructor. 

“Delta” is for the Greek symbol for its shape and “13” is for aluminum’s place on the 

periodic table of elements. Made from 6061 Aluminum, the DELTA-13 racks are 

quality checked on a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) to ensure accuracy. 

Unlike the standard plastic or wooden rack, it’s guaranteed to never warp, bend, or 

break. There is absolutely no give in the sides of the rack and that’s why it outperforms 

the others. 

Ask for the DELTA-13 rack at Seyberts.com or PoolDawg.com. The unique, patentpending 

ergonomic design of the rack allows for easy removal from the balls. It’s 

available in red, blue, black, or gold and each side can be personalized with custom 

engraving to include text and graphic logos. The retail price is $119 plus $12 shipping/ 

handling. Please visit ExecutiveBilliards.com for more details. 

Executive Billiards is a subsidiary of RJD Machining, a 21 year old precision 

machining company which manufactures components for aerospace, medical device, 

and computer storage industries. 85% of the components they manufacture are 

made from aluminum, which has given them a great deal of experience and expertise 

in cutting this material. Executive Billiards is also a member of the Billiards Congress 

of America.

PORTLAND, OR 

Sam’s Billiards monthly 14.1 Tournament on June 1, 2008 had the smallest

was kind of nice, really. 

Paul Marquez was back for his first tournament in several years and won 

his first three matches again Buzz Poleson, Sam Rabito, and Norton 

Johnson to reach the finals. There were two new players, John Malliarakis 

and Michael Justice, who ended up in 2nd and third place, respectively, 

both beating Paul in the finals. The match between John and Paul was the

closest of the tournament, John winning 50 to 49. Buzz came back from 

his one loss to Paul to win a squeaker over Sam (50 to 47) to reach the 

finals, and then Buzz beat Michael and John to take first place.

everyone seemed to be in good spirits.

photos and article from John Lewis, ACS Executive Director 

Dick Picks Them Right at the ACS Nationals! 

With hundreds of amateur players of all skill levels competing in a myriad 

of divisions during the American CueSports Alliance (ACS) Nationals at the 

Riviera Hotel & Casino, June 7-14, hundreds 

of personal sub-plots played out throughout 

the week. 

One of them was masterminded by Dick 

Pickle, a 68-year old successful Las Vegas 

contractor, who loves pool and backs it up 

with the support of his fellow players at the 

Las Vegas Cue Club. The 

Cue Club, owned by Dick’s 

friend Henry Nogiec, sent a 

number of teams to the ACS 

Nationals this year, courtesy 

Men’s Senior 8-Ball Singles

Madison Adkins 

of host league operator 

Greg Kuhl, and Dick’s 

strategy of fielding quality 

teams in every skill division 

almost ran the table. While 

Dick patiently sweated 

every match as each team’s 

official scorer, the 

separately-manned “Dick’s 

Pick” teams won the 

national titles in Men’s 

Master 9-Ball Teams (Ron Allen, Richard 

White & Tim Glass), Men’s Standard 8-Ball 

Teams [for lesser-skilled players] (Errol 

Sharron, Ken Miller, Cortez Woodson, 

Rocky Phipps and Bruce Barrette) and took 

3rd-place honors in Men’s Open 8-Ball 

Teams (Tom Alvey Jr., Henry Nogiec, Tim 

Glass, Ron Allen, Richard White and Dick 

Pickle). 

Other scenarios included two former 

master players - Barbara Yeager (Suffolk, 

VA) and Kit Dennis (Ridgefield, WA) - 

reclaiming the top-tier status again via titles 

in the Women’s Open 8-Ball Singles and 

the Women’s 9-Ball Singles respectively. 

Both also anchored their teams’ stellar play 

in the Women’s Open 8-Ball Teams 

division, as Dennis’s Nitehawk (incl. Becky 

Mowdy, Judy Griffith and Faye Fang) 

outlasted Yeager’s Newtowne Naturals 

Women’s 9-Ball Singles 

Kit Dennis 

(incl. Carla Rossetti, Toni Barnes, Elesha 

Patterson and Ann Bellamy) 10-9 in the title 

match for the crown! 

The Susquehanna Valley 8-Ball League of 

Dover, PA traditionally has sent Men’s Open 

teams to the Nationals, but their women’s 

division turned out four teams of first-timers 

- all sponsored by “Athletic Lettering”, and 

they showed their skill and determination 

in the lower-skilled Women’s Standard 8- 

Ball Teams division by placing three of them 

in the top four places! 

Athletic Lettering #1 (Kristie 

Smith, Carla Bury, Deidre 

Ludwick and Suellen 

Romesburg) claimed the 

championship, while Athletic 

Lettering #2 (Carey Jenkins, 

Denna Neal, Beth Longmire 

and Donna Steepe) took 

runner-up and Athletic 

Lettering #3 (Julie Myers, 

Jennifer Hawthorne, Heidi 

Runkle and Megan Strott) 

placed 4th. 

Ike Runnels of Hopkins Park, 

IL, took down 1st place 

honors in the Speed Pool Challenge, 2nd 

place in the Men’s 9-Ball Singles and 4th 

place in the Men’s Masters 8-Ball Singles. 

Ohio made a statement with Toledo’s 

Danny Smith taking down Men’s 9-Ball 

Singles and claiming the runner-up honors 

to his fellow Ohioan, Tony Mougey 

(Columbus), in the Men’s Masters 8-Ball 

Singles. The River City Billiards League 

out of Omaha, NE won multi-honors as well 

with Champions in the Open Scotch 

Doubles division (Rebecca Anderson/Joe 

Shanks) and the Men’s Open 8-Ball Team 

division (“Gotta Have It” w/ Joe Shanks, 

Dustin Gunia, Ron Utterback, Lee Norton 

and Zack Willis). Jessica Frideres (Ft. 

Dodge, IA) won both Women’s Speed Pool 

and Master Scotch Doubles (with her 

partner Dustin Gunia), while Palatine, Illinois’ 

Tina Larsen continued her string of national 

honors by collecting Champion and runnerup 

honors in Women’s Masters 8-Ball 

Singles and Master Scotch Doubles (with 

partner Dan Taylor) respectively. Southern 

Amusement Pool League (Norfolk, VA) 

captured two titles with Bill Mason (Virginia 

Beach, VA) in Men’s Senior 8-Ball Singles 

and “Footers” (Toni Barnes, Tiffiny Ebner 

and Elesha Patterson) in Women’s 9-Ball 

Teams. 

Canada won in the Men’s Standard 8-Ball 

Singles division (Rainer Kambach - 

Calgary, AB), the Pro/Masters “6 Reds” 

Snooker competition (Lester Mianskum - 

North Bay, ON) and Brad Rautio’s (New

JUST ANOTHER 

TOURNAMENT? 

NO WAY 

By Judy Griffith 

It is hard to find the words to 

describe the feelings that go 

through you when competing for 

a National title. Your emotions run 

the gamut from very high to very 

low, and everything in between. 

We started out in the Women’s 

Team Event telling each other we 

were just going to try and do our 

best, and let the chips fall where they 

lay. We won both of our matches on 

Wednesday, and decided that 

we may have a shot at placing in the 

money. Then we played two matches on 

Thursday and won both of them. Our 

second match on Thursday was against 

Fort Crook Billiards from Nebraska. The 

match went hill-hill, with Kit Dennis 

playing the deciding game. Becky Mowdy, 

Faye Fang, and Judy Griffith, 

sat holding and squeezing 

each others hands during 

that whole match, trying to 

help Kit by trying to will the 

balls into the pockets. When 

Kit cinched the difficult 8-ball all the 

way down the rail for the win, the 

three of us jumped up screaming. 

Becky accidentally hit Faye in the 

head, and Judy accidentally banged 

Becky’s 

hand on 

t h e 

underside of the table. 

Kit was our Queen for 

the Day. We now knew 

that we would be 

playing for the winner

on Friday. On Friday we prepared for the winner’s 

bracket match against Side Pocket from 

Colorado. This match finished in much the same 

way as the second match on Thursday. It was 

déjà vue all over again. The match went hill-hill 

with Kit playing the deciding game again. Could 

she pull it off again? The remaining team 

members, Becky, Judy, and Faye, resumed their 

familiar position, holding hands, Judy chanting 

Come On Kit, Faye repeating over and over, Just

(L to R) Elesha Patterson, Toni Barnes, Tiffiny Ebner 

Hold Me! and Becky sending forth her usual 

positive enforcements to Kit. BULLSEYE, Kit did 

it again - what a SHOOTER!!! We jumped up 

and down, rushed Kit, and gave her all our hugs. 

We were going to be playing in the

Championship match. Now we just had to wait and see who was going to come through 

the B side to challenge us. We kept telling each other that it just didn’t matter, we were 

going to take it in one match. Right from the start you could see that the opposing team 

had ideas of their own. We played Newtowne Naturals from Virginia. We dug down deep, 

and gave it our all. Judy won her game to tie the match up at 7-7. Faye lost her game to 

make it 7-8, then Becky lost her game to bring it to 7-9, then Kit won her game to bring the 

match to 8-9. Then Becky’s face turned the familiar red, and you knew she was not going 

to let that game get away from her. Becky tied the game up 9-9. Now it was all in Kit’s 

corner and she played it like a pro. The three of us assumed the position again, only this 

time we were telling each other it’s in the bag. Judy was sitting with her head down chanting, 

let me her Kit’s balls dropping, let me hear the ball’s dropping, Faye was all teared up and 

squirming in her chair, and Becky was saying “let’s not hurt each other this time”. We 

were squeezing each other’s hands so tight 

we cut off our circulation. When that 8-ball 

dropped we jumped up screaming in total 

disbelief that Kit had pulled it off again. We 

were the 2008 Women’s 8-Ball Team 

National Champions. 

I was very proud to be from Oregon/ 

Washington. Our players from this area did 

very well at the National Tournament. Pat 

Mowdy took second in the Seniors 8-Ball 

Singles, Nikki Phillipi won the Women’s 8- 

Ball Standard Division, Kit Dennis won the 

Women’s 9-Ball Singles and took third in 

the Women’s Master 8-Ball Singles, Cedric 

Sloan took 7th/8th in the 9-Ball Singles and 

7th/8th in the Men’s Master 8-Ball Singles, 

Steve Peterson took 9th/12th in the Men’s 9-Ball Singles, Allen Smart placed 

17th/24th in the Men’s 9-Ball Singles and 25th/32nd in the Men’s Open 8-Ball 

Singles, Jay Collins placed 9th/12th in the Men’s Open 8-Ball Singles, Susan 

Preston took 13th/16th in the Women’s Open 8-Ball Singles, Bob Prouty 

finished 7th/8th in the Men’s Standard 8-Ball Singles, Albert Williams placed 

17th/24th in the Men’s Standard 8-Ball Singles, Brandon Stephens finished 3rd 

in the 18 & Under Junior 8-Ball Singles, Byron Weiker finished 2nd in the 14 & 

Under Junior 8-Ball Singles, and The Pool Dawgs from Beaverton, finished 

13th/16th in the Men’s Standard 8-Ball Teams. Congradulations to everyone.

NWPA at UNCLE UNCLE UNCLE JACK’S JACK’S JACK’S 

NWPA HOLDS ITS THIRD 

TOUR STOP 

Chris Rogers and Ford; Tournament 

Directors 

It was Father’s Day weekend, the 

sun was shining outside and 

barbeques and golf clubs were being 

cleaned of rust. Meanwhile, the 

NWPA was at Uncle Jack’s Billiards 

in Lynnwood WA playing pool, 

watching Tiger on the big screen in 

the bar, and enjoying the food and 

drinks. Seems like a decent trade off, 

but is having a women’s tournament 

on Father’s Day good timing or not? 

The jury is still out. 

The 31 players who signed up didn’t 

seem to mind, and we had a busy 

Saturday, playing non-stop for over 11 hours. This meant that there were 

only 8 players to make it to Sunday. In the first A side match, Linda Carter 

played Andy Ruth, who won a great hill-hill match against Andrea Saenz- 

Maes to get there, and she didn’t stop there, beating Linda 7-2. The other 

match was Mikki Small against Liz Cole, who had to survive a determined 

effort from Elaine Eberly7-5. She also continued winning and took Mikki 7- 

4. On the B side it was the Cindy’s with Sliva edging Doty 7-5, and Andrea 

taking Junko Camantigue 7-4. But Mikki got her next and won 7-5. This put 

Cindy Sliva (who won our last event) against Linda and they played like 

champions but Linda won 7-6 in a nail biter. 

The point match was one table over from this, and as great as Andy had 

played up to this point, Liz was just too much, winning 7-3. Andy then played 

Linda, who won her second hill-hill match in a row, this time over Mikki. We 

know Linda wanted revenge for her earlier loss to Andy, but it will have to

wait as Andy only let her have 3 

games. This put Andy back against Liz 

for all the marbles, but she also 

couldn’t revenge her earlier loss and 

Liz won easily 9-2. 

Thanks once again to all who helped 

and played. Any shot clock volunteer 

is a hero in my book. Congratulations 

to Liz Cole for another win and to Andy 

Ruth for her first (but doubtfully her 

last) finals. We again thank Uncle

By Roger Long, Advanced Certified Instructor 

This article was written a few years back, but it 

covers an ageless subject, so it was time to drag 

it out of mothballs and run it again. 

Is your 9-Ball break as bad as mine? Let me 

rephrase that. Is your 9-Ball break as bad as 

mine used to be? My break didn’t start out all 

that bad. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t until I 

started trying to improve my break that it started 

getting worse. 

In the quest for a better 9-Ball break, I have tried 

a lot of different techniques. But a couple of Roger Long 

facts hold true on the break regardless of the methods used, and those 

facts are: You must generate as much speed as possible, and you must 

follow through as far as possible. 

For a long time, everything I tried just didn’t seem to help me get any more 

speed or more follow through. Sometimes, things even seemed to get worse. 

I gripped the cue farther back on the butt. Then I gripped the cue farther 

forward. I lengthened my bridge. Then I shortened it. I stood more upright. 

Then I got real low. I worked on my concentration and timing. Then I said to 

heck with the concentration, I’ll just try to throw the cue as hard as I can. 

(My timing wasn’t bad on that technique…my cue nailed some guy just as 

he got halfway across the room.) But I kept trying and trying and trying. 

And still, nothing, nothing, nothing. 

Then one day I was looking at a pool magazine and in it were some side-byside 

pictures of three of the top male professionals, all caught in the act of 

breaking racks of 9-Ball. I quickly noticed that their breaking forms were 

almost identical. All three of these men are known to be great 9-Ball breakers, 

so I decided that I had better pay real close attention to the little things 

these guys have in common. And that’s when I learned something vitally 

important! Now, what I’m about to reveal to you really should go into the “I 

didn’t want to have to show you this” category, because I might have to play 

some of you in future competitions and I really hate having my own advice 

used against me. Oh well, here goes. 

The first thing I noticed about the players in the pictures was how far they 

were following through on their break shots. They were high up over the 

table and their arms were fully extended. Being up high over the table 

during the break allows the player the needed clearance to swing from the 

shoulder, which in turn allows the maximum follow through. Then my eyes 

went to their feet where I noticed that they were all up on the toes of their 

forward foot. That explained how they were getting that maximum height 

and extension. Then I noticed that each player’s rear foot was kicked up 

behind him as high as he could get it! Now what the heck did that have to 

do with anything? 

Curious as to why three great 9-Ball breakers would all feel the need to kick 

up their heels, I took the technique to the practice table. Man, what a 

difference! Kicking up the rear foot is the first single technique that has 

ever made a significant difference in the effectiveness of my break. Since 

incorporating a kick into my 9-Ball break, my “Good Break” percentage 

(dropping at least one ball without scratching) has risen about 20%! 

So, to answer my own question concerning the kick, I would have to surmise 

that what it does is two things: First, it helps you get up on the toes of your 

forward foot for height extension; then, it helps you pivot forward from the 

waist for better follow- through extension. 

Next time you’re watching a professional play 9-Ball, keep an eye on his 

rear foot when he breaks. He’ll probably be kicking his own butt, and kicking 

his opponent’s as well.

The 2008 Desert Classic Tour was 

at Kolby’s Corner Pocket in Tempe, 

Arizona, for the 3rd leg of their 2008 

tour. Up for grabs was the title of 

“2008 Arizona State Straight Pool 

Champion”. Bernie Pettipiece won 

the tournament when he defeated 

Scott Frost in the finals. Chuck 

Evans finished third and Tres Kane 

finished fourth. The tour directors 

are Dennis Orender and Jimmy 

Mendoza. “On the rail” site owner, 

Lenny Marshall, was on hand to 

provide internet live stream for the 

event as well. 

The Tournament kicked off on Saturday, 

June 21st, with 42 players prepared to 

make a run for the state title. Straight 

Pool enthusiasts such as Jimmy 

Mendoza, Babe Thompson, and Bernie 

Pettipiece, were only a few of the 

favorites on hand for the tournament. 

After play on Saturday, twelve players 

returned on Sunday and found 

themselves in the cash. Returning on 

Sunday with one loss were Tres Kane, 

Babe Thompson, Jimmy Mendoza and 

Dennis Orender. Returning on Sunday 

with no losses were Mike Williams, 

Chuck Evans, Bernie Pettipiece, David 

Wiseman, Scott Frost, Gus Briseno, 

Paul Grande and Bobby Emmons. 

As Sunday afternoon approached, only 

Chuck Evans and Scott Frost remained 

on the winner’s side, to play for the hot

seat. Scott defeated Chuck and sent 

him to the one-loss side of the board. 

While Scott was making quick work of 

opponents on the A side of the bracket, 

Tres Kane was quietly making his run 

on the B side. After losing his second 

match of the tournament on Saturday, 

Tres rolled off an amazing seven straight 

victories, before falling victim to Bernie 

Pettipiece. Tres settled for 4th place, 

while Bernie moved on to defeat Chuck, 

who settled for third. 

The finals saw two Kolby’s regulars 

facing off for the state title, in a one race 

final to 125. Scott quickly jumped out 

to a 33-6 lead, only to watch as Bernie 

methodically fought his way back into 

the match. The two players exchanged 

runs until Bernie scratched on a cut 

shot, while leading 92-86. Upon 

reaching 100, Scott was faced with a 

cross-side bank shot on the one ball. 

Scott missed the bank and it appeared 

as if his run had 

ended; however, a 

lucky kiss off of 

another ball 

caromed the one 

into the called 

pocket. This 

allowed Scott to 

remain at the table 

and continue his 

run. 

Just as it looked 

like Scott was 

going to run away 

with the title, a 

missed shot 

allowed Bernie another chance. 

As he did all weekend, Bernie 

maintained his composure and pulled 

ahead to 117-105, before nearly 

scratching on a tough breakout shot. A 

miss on the ten ball, and Scott found 

himself only needing 20 balls to seal a 

victory. As quickly as his luck arrived 

earlier on the three-rail bank shot, it 

disappeared when he found himself 

frozen on the same one ball, without a 

clear shot. 

After trading intentional fouls, Scott went 

for a tough backwards cut/carom that 

just missed falling in the pocket. Bernie 

calmly approached the table, counted 

out the nine balls he needed, and 

proceeded to clear the table for the state 

title. Congratulations to Bernie 

Pettipiece for his victory and becoming 

the 2008 Arizona State 14.1 Champion! 

The highest eight and under finishing 

players were Ken Cottrell and Brady

live is growing in 

popularity. 

The live stream of a 

one pocket match 

between Efren Reyes 

and Scott Frost (local 

Arizona player) saw an audience of 

approximately 750 viewers. 

When asked why to does the live 

streaming, Lenny responded, “For 

the love of the game and to give 

something back. This game has 

given me so much enjoyment and I 

wanted the fans to be able to see 

live pool events.” 

More streams are planned with the 

upcoming 14.1 qualifier July 12-13 

and the next Desert Classic Tour 

stop later in the month. 

Lenny’s sponsors for this event 

were OnTheBreakNews.com, 

Albrecht Custom Cues and 

Affordable Healthcare Jason Smith. 

You can view some video from the 

event and others Lenny has 

streamed at www.ustream.tv and 

type “ontherail” into the search box 

at the upper right side of the web 

page. We hope to see this trend 

continue and be able to see more 

live pool events on the internet.

Riviera Hotel & Casino 

Las Vegas, Nevada 

If you weren’t there... here’s a taste 

of what you missed. 

• 6,000 excited pool league players 

from 34 States, 6 Canadian 

Provinces and 6 Other Countries 

•Matches on nearly 300 Valley Pool 

Tables 

• Competition in 33 unique divisions 

• Players representing 177 VNEA 

Charter Holder Members 

• 3,000 players partying at our 

fabulous Team Opening Ceremonies 

(look-and-sound-a-likes), “The Queen 

of White Trash” Etta May and much 

more! 

And this is surely just a taste of 

everything that took place! See the 

complete results on vnea.com. 

The Valley National Eight Ball 

Association (VNEA) was pleased to 

be hosting the OTBnTV crew during 

the International Championships in 

Las Vegas. OTBnTV was on hand to 

film many of the events, interviews, 

talk to the vendors and present the 

whole VNEA Nationals experience 

online for all pool enthusiasts to enjoy. 

Video of "what was happening" is 

available on demand. You are able to 

view, download and play back later if 

you wish. This is all FREE. For those 

who could not attend, left early or 

wanted to check up on the progress 

of their friends or family were able to 

do so. There is a forum called Billiard 

Nation that you can write about your 

experience in Las Vegas. 

OTBnTV and crew arrived in Las 

Vegas Thursday, May 22nd for the 

VNEA Nationals. We were there to film 

interviews from players, VNEA staff 

and officials and the finals on Monday

1st Place 8-Ball Open Team Masters: Two Stooges Metro - Theisen Vending 

Larkin did the interviewing and 

walked around the Riviera tournament 

floor filming and giving our viewing 

audience a taste of what VNEA 

Nationals is all about so you can see 

what it's like if you have never been 

here. 

We had the pleasure of interviewing 

one of the many referees on the floor, 

Sheree Kennedy. She was one of the 

friendliest, nicest, just good time 

human beings. And to be truthful she 

is pretty typical of how people have 

treated us at the VNEA Nationals in 

Vegas when we were filming 

of the Singles events. Scheduling of 

the finals matches prevented us from 

filming all the events but we were able 

to film the 9-Ball Women’s 

Intermediate Singles Finals and the 

9-Ball Men’s Regular Singles Finals. 

In the men's final, James Delahunty, 

flew 22 hours from Australia to get 

here and got in to the finals against 

Mac Combs. The video on demand 

was available online Tuesday the 27th 

of May and you can watch the finals 

and the interviews with the two. 

We've had a great time talking to 

everyone. Don Akerlow and Becka 

interviews or just talking off the cuff. 

OTBnTV was proud to be able to give 

the VNEA league players there 15 

minutes of fame so to speak and their 

just due. 

The Suds and Chips Mixer, Parade 

of Flags, Hall of Fame Inductions and 

Singles Awards Presentations were 

held Monday evening the 26th. We 

had the opportunity to film the event 

and put it online and it brought a tear 

of pride to my eyes when they sang 

the National anthem and I stood there 

among thousands of people with my 

hand on my heart. I felt proud to be 

an American, a pool player but most 

of all to be surrounded by people from all over this country and all over the 

world! 

Team competition began on Tuesday the 27th and continued throughout the 

rest of the week. Scheduling these many team events is a logistics nightmare 

and when it came time to film some of the finals it was inevitable that they 

couldn’t all be filmed as many were being played at the same time. We were 

able to film the first set of the Women’s Regular Team event which went for 

two sets and was won by Run Baby Run. The other team final that was 

filmed was the Men’s Masters 8-Ball which was won by Two Stooges Metro 

from Minnesota. 

All in all we posted 39 videos and over 800 photos, all of which are available 

to be viewed and downloaded if you wish. After leaving June 1st driving 2 

days to get home from Las Vegas, then spending all day on the 3rd day 

boxing up The Break and sending it out to all the pool players we had 2 days 

that we can almost say we had off. Now that I've done all of my whining, I 

would like to thank Gregg, Brian, the Staff, Volunteers and Referees, of the

1st Place 8-Ball Sportsmen’s Team: Killer Fleas - Aactive Coin 

VNEA as well as the Riviera's staff for a great tournament. The accomodations were 

superb and we had a great time. Here is a link that you can watch the VNEA 

International Championships 

www.onthebreaknews.com/VNEA-VideoPage3.htm 

We here at OTBnTV would like to thank each and everyone of the VNEA staff that 

took the time to talk to us in Las Vegas as well as the vendors, players and visitors 

that rooted on their teams and favorite players. We were honored to have the privilege 

of filming the VNEA International championships and bringing it to pool enthusiast 

all across this great 

country of ours as 

well as from around 

the world. 

From myself, Mary 

and Becka we had 

a great time, we had 

a blast. We tried to 

bring to all viewers 

of the VNEA Video 

Magazine an 

experience that 

they were there 

1st Place Intermediate Scotch Doubles 

Tina Setchick, Travis Gallup 

talking to the 

players the winning 

teams, the referees 

and especially the 

awards ceremonies and the Parade of Flags. 

The VNEA does a magnificent job at honoring the winners for the singles event at 

the Parade of Flags but is most impressive at the Award Ceremonies on the last 

day of the Championship. While filming the team awards we met some of the nicest 

pool players and coin machine operators that you could ever meet. I hope that we 

were able to bring just a small portion of what the VNEA International Championships 

were all about. They are second to none. 

We appreciate all the hard work you did for us at OTBnTV to promote us and make 

it easier for us to talk to the players as well as everyone else. 

Thank you again for letting us be a part of something so much larger and we hope 


2008 

NEA International Championships 

that we were able to bring to the pool players that could not make it to the 

championships an experience that they may share with family and friends. 

The photo galleries from the VNEA International Championships have over 800 photos 

and have been viewed more than 40,000 times! We even had one viewer watching 

from home (Finland) who writes, “My significant other is in Vegas...anyone else 

have family or friend in Vegas? I have not seen him on the otbntv.com site for pics or 

video yet! I'm waiting for more videos to be posted or pics!!!!!” and later on when we 

still didn’t have any photos or video she wrote, “My husband is in Vegas! Team- 

1st Place 8-Ball Sportswomen’s Team: 8 Breakin Ladies - Superior Vending 

Finland. So far no pictures but I did send a wish to OTBnTV.” We finally had her 

send a messge to her husband that we would interview him during the Awards 

Banquet on the final Saturday of the Championships. His interview is online. We 

were more than happy to help and only wished we had brought more crew with us 

and another camera to be in 

more places filming at the 

same time. We plan on doing 

that next year. 

We would just like to thank the 

VNEA again for the opportunity 

that you gave us and our 

sponsors: VNEA, Mueller 

Recreational Products, Platis 

Law Firm and Chameleon The 

Perfect Rack. We also want to 

thank Gregg and Brian Elliott 

for their help in putting on a 

fantastic tournament and Gary 

Benson and Judy Mehle for coordinating the finals for us. 

Hope to see everyone next year!

first year winning team. 

They lost their first match against “O.S.I.O.W”. Winning in their next match’s against 

“The Undertakers”, “Money Shot”, “Black Star Rebels” and “All Racked Up” brought 

them to the finals match against “On The Snap” (2007 LTC winner), Just Like I 

planned pulled it off in 3. 

The Hawks are no strangers to the NTC. This will be the team’s third year participating. 

The team won 5 straight match’s defeating “Hit and Run”, “Walt’s Wreckers”, 

“Wayne’s Crashers”, “Hit and Run” again and in the finals match Steilacoom Deli. 

The third team, “Smooth Strokers”, won their first match against “Eastside 4 Life” 

(3-0) only to lose their 2nd against “No Mercy”. Winning against “The Replacements”, 

“Oyatay” and “Eight On The Break” brought them into the finals against “Dennys 

Aliens”. Smooth Strokers defeated this tough team 3-1. 

9 BALL 

“One More Time” lost first round against “Yeee” sending them to the B side to battle 

their way forward. From there the team defeated “Reese’s Pieces”, “Late Arrivals” 

and “Low Ball’s”. The finals match was against “9 Ball Junkies”, with One More 

Time being the winner.

Colorado Cue Club 10-Ball 


2008 

NORTHGLENN, CO 

June 28, 2008 

Event #1 of the Colorado Cue Club’s 2nd annual “Big Box Summer Series” 

drew 26 players including three from Texas and a Filipino. The format was 

“Pro Rules” 10-Ball: Race to 6, lag for the break, winner breaks, rack your 

Cue Club Owner Caela Huddleston, Champion Santos Sambajon, TD “LA Dave” Billings 

own, and 10-Ball on the break spots up if it goes in either of the bottom two 

pockets. The Cue Club added $750 to the pot. Santos Sambajon made a 

welcome appearance and drew the attention of players and spectators 

alike. Right out of the gate he drew one the all time fiercest players to 

come out of Colorado: Tony Piazza. The match was a see-saw battle that 

had Tony finding the hill first. Santos would make it interesting shortly after 

by making it a hill-hill match. It looked as if Tony was not going to get back 

to the table after Sambajon’s break, but Santos failed to pull off a 3-10 

carom. Tony would then make a tough run out only to watch the cue ball 

travel two rails and 

carry all the way into 

the corner after making 

the case 10-Ball. 

Things would only get 

more interesting for the 

Filipino champion as Nick 

Smith of Colorado 

Springs also took him to 

the hill. However, Nick 

failed a routine 9 in the 

side opening the door for 

Santos to continue on in 

the winner’s bracket. In 

Final Four 

Tony Piazza, Chris McDaniel, “ATM” Andrew Pettinger, Santos Sambajon 

the finals of the winners side Santos ran into Chris McDaniel. This match turned 

out to be quite the crowd pleaser with wicked safeties followed by great kicks. Both 

players showed some grit and, yet again, Sambajon found himself in a hill-hill contest. 

With the first real chance to take down the match, McDaniel kept getting out of line 

but came with some nice reverse cuts and a cross-corner bank to end up with a 

reasonable shot at the 10 in the side. Unfortunately, Chris was unable to find the 

bottom of the hole as the 10 hit both points of the pocket leaving Santos straight in. 

That’s three bullets the man dodged! 

Meanwhile, Piazza made his way through the entire one loss side coming from 

behind against “ATM” Andrew Pettinger and bulldozing through McDaniel 6-2. 

However, it seemed like Santos’ day as he dispatched Tony 6-1 in the finals to snag 

the top place and $600 cash. 

A special thanks to the players that supported this event and a shout out to the 

boys from El Paso who made the trek. The Big Box Summer Series is supported 

by Miller Beer and a points list is now running. The top point getter will receive a 

$300 American Express gift Card courtesy of Miller. Up next is the $500 added One 

Pocket on July 26, the $750 added 8-Ball on August 16, and the $1000 added 9-Ball 

“Invitational” on September 6 which is double points! For details see

2nd Tony Piazza $400 + 130 Points 

3rd Chris McDaniel $250 + 87 Points

In Memory Of ...Bruce Deal 

A HOLE IN OUR HEARTS 

By Janet Thomas 

Saying goodbye is difficult; as family, 

friends, and Roseburg league members 

know all too well. 

Bruce Eugene Deal passed away 

suddenly at his home in Winston, Oregon 

on May 13, 2008. Bruce was born July 9, 

1948 in Nathan, Arkansas and moved to 

the Roseburg area as a young boy. He 

has lived in the Winston/Roseburg area 

since that time. 

Bruce was a member of the Roseburg BCA 

League (and ACS League for a couple of 

years) and was one of the original members 

when the league first began in the late 

1990s. During his time as a league 

member Bruce also served as a board 

Bruce Deal 

member, board president, and league 

operator. When the words “pool” or “billiards” are mentioned in Roseburg, Bruce’s 

name was not far behind. Bruce began playing pool at a young age, and a few 

years ago he was the first Roseburg league member to shoot his way to the Masters 

(what a day that was!). Bruce played in the Roseburg City League, before the 

Roseburg league was sanctioned and we joined the BCA association. Brice played 

pool at many establishments in the area over the years; including such places as 

Dirty Dicks (now the Scoreboard), the Sunset Tavern, the Pump House Tavern (back 

in the day), Yogee’s and most recently, Frankie’s Place in Sutherlin. 

Bruce was an icon in the Roseburg area when it came to pool. When traveling 

players came to town looking for a “game”, Bruce was the first person anyone 

called. He was a well-known player in the area and was a mentor to many of the 

younger players. He was an enthusiastic team player, a serious straight pool 

player, and, back in the day, played many a snooker game. He truly loved the 

game! Bruce looked forward to the tournaments at Lincoln City and Las Vegas 

each year with great enthusiasm. He enjoyed playing in the local pool tournaments, 

and the many out of town tournaments, also. I remember years past traveling to 

such places as Ma’s Dairy Farm or the Poor House in the Eugene/Springfield area, 

because he enjoyed the competition so much Bruce was very competitive and 

always enjoyed the challenge of a new player (who thought they might be better). 

and spent many hours playing straight pool. Those of us that knew Bruce share his 

love of pool, and we will miss him greatly. His team members - Eric Baird, Dave 

Butler, Mike Cronk, Mike Hocevar, Gary Maxwell, and Eli Folau - will be one great 

player short when they begin the new season in September. Gone but not forgotten, 

we will miss him! 

In Bruce’s honor, his team is holding a memorial pool tournament at Yogee’s in 

Roseburg this month.

R.I.P. GO-AWAY JESSIE 

27 

27 

from: Gene Miller 

Meg Clark of the San Francisco Tavern 

Pool Association informed me on Tuesday 

morning that Jessie Jameson had died. 

He was one of the most well-known Bay 

Area players, and among the most 

legendary. I didn’t know him well, and I 

don’t know if he knew my name, but he 

recognized me as that guy who ran the 

tournaments at Palace Billiards. The first 

time Jessie spoke to me was in 1987. 

“Five bucks.” I was sitting near a table at 

Palace, and he was offering me a choice 

of several sweaters he was peddling. 

Jessie Jameson 

There was one memorable time in that 

Market Street pool hall, when the legendary Ronnie Allen came through 

town in 1988 looking for a one-pocket match and the call went out for “Go 

Away.” It was a brief, but entertaining, encounter. After Palace closed, Jessie 

did most of his playing in San Francisco taverns, and was a regular player 

in the San Francisco Tavern Pool Association’s eight ball leagues. Playing 

for Nob Hill tavern this season, he finished with sixteen wins against only 

two losses, compiling the highest winning percentage (.889) in the 542player, 

60-team league.

One Pocket. It is always a pleasure 

to see the Dominquez family play at 

Hard Times, they are so professional and set a very good example of 

politeness and good sportsmanship;. 

The 39 players in the One Pocket event had some exciting matches. Hill- 

Hill seemed to be the theme of the event and ‘down to the last ball on the 

table’ settled too many matches. 

39 Players at $20 entry plus $500 totaled $1280.00 prize fund.

3rd $200 Billy Palmer 

4th $150 Frank Nordmann

The Nine Ball event had a full field of 64 players totaling $1600 in entry 

fees. With the $1000 added by Hard Times, the total prize fund was 

$2600.00 

Jeff Gregory took 1st place with a hard fought battle with George Michaels 

in the true double elimination finals. George came over from the left side to 

defeat Jeff in the first match to force the final match. Jeff won the lag and 

quickly got out in front 2 -0 with a couple of very nice break and runs. This 

proved to be the final margin Jeff needed to win the match and tournament. 

64 players at $25 entry fee plus $1000 added totaled $2600.00 prize fund

California Billiard Club’s 

Summer Shootout 

Mountain View, CA - June 20-22 

All matches, race to eight, 

double elimination, USPPA 

handicap with 5-game 

maximum spot. 

This was my first 

experience as tournament 

director in Mountain View, 

and it was a lot of fun. 

These events are actually 

pool player reunions, and it 

was indeed that for me. I 

saw many old friends and 

handed prize money to some of them. It was a 77-player field, a two-day 

event that brought back the final 32 on Sunday for the money matches. My 

only disappointment were the two forfeits. I never like to forfeit a player, but 

it’s a rule that you simply must have in any tournament, and it’s almost 

always a friend of mine who gets the big zero. Other than that, we had a 

mellow tournament on one of the warmest weekend’s in the year. You can 

expect the same format for California Billiard Club’s big Reno Warm-Up in 

the Fall, which Tony Annigoni promises will get more publicity. 

Congratulations to Deo, a player any tournament director would love to 

hand a stack of cash to. Always a good sport and a great player. Undefeated, 

he was rarely challenged in any match and won eight straight games more 

than once on his way to the hot seat.
