I played with TJ back in the 70's at Charlies Bissells in Dallas. There was a older man named Brooks that was a super player. Bill Smith, Ken Smith, and Bobby B. all started at the Dallas game. Even Woody Harrelson's dad Charles played there. The big winners would always take their wad to Vegas and drop it. People say TJ is broke, who knows?
