    I owned a pool hall and was a professional pool player in NJ and spent over 12 years playing pool and I get so nostalgic reminiscing about the crazy stories about the good ole days in the pool hall. It’s a totally different world that most people would never believe existed.

      There’s this set of circumstances you’re tied to. It’s in the foundation of this universe. Pay attention, there is no coincidence. God exists. The Bible is truth.
      We all see these clips in reality. Where we know we’re being talked to. By the universe. We explain it away for our own sanity. What we want, and the things we must do to obtain them, verses what we learn God wants. It’s hard to get those two on the same level. But the shock of knowing what we must give up causes so many to avoid digging deeper. There are reasons why. Poison exists on a spiritual level, sin taints our immortal souls. It isn’t that we’re bad. It’s that Satan attached a curse to actions we take, claiming us as him. Like a drowning man tying himself to your ankles.
      God offers the knife to free yourself. Grace is a free gift God wants to give us all. It removes that stain of sin on our souls by forgiving the mistakes we made in ignorance. It’s just that God has a nature he cannot control. As our loving father he cannot give to one without another. He has to give us our own free will, one and all if anyone. Sin is something that takes many forms, and we all fall short of the glory of God. Being perfect isn’t the point. It’s about forgiveness. God can’t blanket forgive sins just because he knows our life’s circumstances. That’s forgive the devil too, considering he was an angel and only sinned one. Again, God can’t do for one child without the other. We have far more sins by count. He’s responsible for all the evil on earth, but it is the humanity that carried out his will.
      God has made standers we all must reach spiritually in life. Soul growth and development that shows faith. Shows that we’ve taken the teachings of Jesus Christ to heart.
      It’s all about forgiveness.
      To be forgiven we must forgive.
      It all starts at the heart, at home, with our family. Those people that have loved us, sheltered, fed, etc. working though the grievances we all build up with our parents is a huge spiritual milestone. That’s really what sets everything into motion as an adult. Once that gear grins freely the next fall into place so smoothly.
      Jesus Christ is lord. It’s something you learn inside once you clear out that inner baggage. You bleed your heart clean though your eyes. You understand why you need to submit to Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness.
      Everything you ever need is in three books of the Bible. Genesis explains the problem, why these circumstances are so important. Mathew explains what’s been done to fix the system. And just one more, one book of the Bible you chose yourself. I Suggest James. It has many interesting lessons condensed and straightforward.
      Please trust me. I know how it sounds. It really does all begin with the inner work of forgiveness. It teaches your soul so many important lessons.
      Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.

    That was my life from 1971 to 1977.
    I hustled coast to coast and became a road partner for St Louie, Louie Roberts. I also was the guy who hypnotized Louie.
    I started the very First Sneaky Pete using a bar cue from my mother's bar in Indianapolis.
    It was refinished by Jim McDermott in 1971, three years before he started McDermott Cues in 1974.
    Four times I had guns pulled on me pointed at my face .
    Once two Las Vegas cops pulled guns on me because I was dating Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal's girl friend..
    Her name was Angela Larney and was an Irish Dancer at the Stardust..
    They told me I had to leave town by Sundown..
    It will never be the same as was in the past because everyone wants to play tournaments..
    In my day, the players and hustlers went to pool tournaments for the Gambling...
    I miss those days and many of my pool buddies that are now gone.

      The distances keep getting farther til you run out of real estate.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. How refreshing to listen to a professional interview by someone who knows what time of day it is in the pool world. I used to provide support to the M1-Global and Affliction MMA fights and was already a huge fan of the other Fedor from Russia, but my passion is pool. Your expertise and knowledge of the game, number one, was intellectually stimulating to a pool aficionado like me, but it was your quick wit, storytelling, and ability to get young Fedor to open up that was amazing. I know you're quite a busy celebrity, but, man, if you could ever find some time to commentate pool matches and/or contribute your talent in any small way to pool as a sport, it just might be the saving grace and boost that pool needs at this time. I listened to this on Spotify, but now I'm going to listen again and watch the video on TH-cam. BTW, I'd also love to see you interview Ronnie O'Sullivan. That would be a hoot! What a great day for pool to listen to Joe Rogan interview Fedor Gorst. Brilliant!

    There was a bar I used to work at where we had a huge melee break out over a pool game that resulted in a stabbing. They weren't even playing in my bar. It spilled over from a bar that they were playing a pool game at down the street. Apparently, they were gambling and the guys who lost followed the guys they were playing against to my place. I wasn't working that night, but I watched the surveillance footage after the fact. It was pretty messed up. The club I work at now has billiards tables and two regulation pool tables. Guys gamble there for much higher stakes than I've ever seen in a dive bar, but there's no animosity among the players when it comes time to pay up.

Mainly according to random frat guys that haven't taken the time to get to know some of the local players outside of the dive bar I frequent. And I am often approached by some of the old heads at the bar or the pool hall and asked to gamble on a game. But first of all I know I'm not nearly as consistent as I am "good" and second I am not a large guy. I'll be damned if I'm gonna get my ass beat because I hurt some frat dudes pride, so I've made it a personal rule that I will never gamble on the table.

    20 years ago I would play for around 10-12 hours a days every day and was almost unbeatable. I started taking a little bit of speed and then became ridiculously good. I couldn't miss. It was like the pockets were a foot wide. I used to turn up at the pub I drank at around 7pm each night and put my dollar in the challenge table, and would then hold the table until the pub closed at 4am. I also worked at a pub, so would play during the quiet times during the day. I bought a beautiful table recently and am absolutely terrible after not playing for 15 years. I'm getting better, but will never get back to the form I was in when I was doing speed. We used to have big pool comps between all the pubs, but no-one does them anymore. There were 16 pubs in our district and each pub had at least 1 team. Our pub had four teams that played another pub team every week. I miss those days.

    I grew up in Chicago and played pool at Chris’s Billiards where Color of money was filmed and I also think the movie with Jackie Gleason. That place was so dope. Dark, except for those few lights above the table. It’s gritty and raw. Smoking was still around. We’d go in on a Friday night or whatever and just get lost and come out 3 hours later and time flew at the speed of light.

      There’s this set of circumstances you’re tied to. It’s in the foundation of this universe. Pay attention, there is no coincidence. God exists. The Bible is truth.
      We all see these clips in reality. Where we know we’re being talked to. By the universe. We explain it away for our own sanity. What we want, and the things we must do to obtain them, verses what we learn God wants. It’s hard to get those two on the same level. But the shock of knowing what we must give up causes so many to avoid digging deeper. There are reasons why. Poison exists on a spiritual level, sin taints our immortal souls. It isn’t that we’re bad. It’s that Satan attached a curse to actions we take, claiming us as him. Like a drowning man tying himself to your ankles.
      God offers the knife to free yourself. Grace is a free gift God wants to give us all. It removes that stain of sin on our souls by forgiving the mistakes we made in ignorance. It’s just that God has a nature he cannot control. As our loving father he cannot give to one without another. He has to give us our own free will, one and all if anyone. Sin is something that takes many forms, and we all fall short of the glory of God. Being perfect isn’t the point. It’s about forgiveness. God can’t blanket forgive sins just because he knows our life’s circumstances. That’s forgive the devil too, considering he was an angel and only sinned one. Again, God can’t do for one child without the other. We have far more sins by count. He’s responsible for all the evil on earth, but it is the humanity that carried out his will.
      God has made standers we all must reach spiritually in life. Soul growth and development that shows faith. Shows that we’ve taken the teachings of Jesus Christ to heart.
      It’s all about forgiveness.
      To be forgiven we must forgive.
      It all starts at the heart, at home, with our family. Those people that have loved us, sheltered, fed, etc. working though the grievances we all build up with our parents is a huge spiritual milestone. That’s really what sets everything into motion as an adult. Once that gear grins freely the next fall into place so smoothly.
      Jesus Christ is lord. It’s something you learn inside once you clear out that inner baggage. You bleed your heart clean though your eyes. You understand why you need to submit to Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness.
      Everything you ever need is in three books of the Bible. Genesis explains the problem, why these circumstances are so important. Mathew explains what’s been done to fix the system. And just one more, one book of the Bible you chose yourself. I Suggest James. It has many interesting lessons condensed and straightforward.
      Please trust me. I know how it sounds. It really does all begin with the inner work of forgiveness. It teaches your soul so many important lessons.
      Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.
