You guys need to get the new "Banking with the Beard" book by freddie bentivegna if you don't have it.

[/ QUOTE ] I will definitely have to pick that up. I used to love to sweat Freddie giving up monster weight to the young turks at the old Chicago Billiard Cafe. He was a character and a half. I never saw him play straight pool, but his 9 ball, bank game and one pocket were mighty fine.

As far as I'm concerned the old Cafe was the center of the pool & billiard universe in the 80s and early 90s.
