New York City, 1982

Frankie, Tony and I were in N.Y.C. for a meeting with Don King, Jimmy Montoya was also there,among others, we had been there for about four days and Jimmy and I were dying for some Mexican food, we went out to fine some, we were walking on one of the avenues when we seen a place with a big sign "Mexican Food-Burritos", we walked in and some Puerto Ricans are running the joint, we turn right around and walked out, we walked another block and we see an Italian place, we decided to go in and have some spaghetti and meatballs, we sat down and ordered, as we're sitting waiting for our food we could hear voices coming for the back of the place, I got up and walked to the back to check it out, there were about 4-5 guys shooting pool.
"Just some guys shooting pool" I said to Jimmy.
While we were eating Jimmy asked me if I had any money on me.
"I got some, why?"
"Lend me forty bucks" he said.
When we finish eating we walked back to where the guys were shooting pool, Jimmy asked if he could play.
"Sure, but we play for money" said one .
"That okay" said Jimmy.
after 2-3 game Jimmy is down to his last ten bucks, he puts the ten bucks on one last game, he won the game.
"I want a rematch" the guy tells Jimmy.
"Sure, Jimmy said.
Jimmy beats him again, two more games and the dude is broke.
Another guy plays Jimmy, Jimmy breaks him too after a few games
Now the first guy is on the phone, twenty minutes or so later a guy walks in with a stick in a real nice case.
He gets it on with Jimmy, while Jimmy is playing this guy the first one is getting drunk.
Jimmy breaks this one too after a few games, by this time the first guy is stinking drunk, he could barely stand up, but he walked up to Jimmy and says to Jimmy.
"You're good, but you drink too f*#king much"
Jimmy won eight hundred bucks, he played and won with my forty bucks, so I got four hundred bucks.
