    Let’s talk about spots (handicaps) when gambling....

    When it comes to spots I like to tell them to pull up their skirt and either play or watch.

    Pool is second fiddle to cornhole on ESPN

    I seen a corn hole hustler come in the other day. He had a custom leather case and all his own bean bags. He even had one he called "Low deflection" and one old school bean bag made by Gus Szambodi's wife.

    Mika's interesting shot

    Momentary stall on the cue ball with lots of spin. Mika plays lots of 3 cushion. You can use that stroke to change angle and get the cue ball to behave in a wild way, still predictable.

    Cesar Morales and Efren Bata Reyes.

    Now that Efren is kind of retired, If he wrote a book about his pool match-ups and traveling, I can only think that players and fans from the last 40 years would buy it. I heard he doesn't need the money.

    THEY STOLE MY POOL BAG! - New cue suggestions?

    Spytec makes a small GPS tracker that will fit in your case and you can track it from your cell phone. Cue cases have walked away from poolrooms forever and I've heard stories about broken car windows that happened during daylight hours. Stealing carries a penalty. The judge will never sentence...

    Knowing how to miss, the luck thread

    I have a jump cue, but I never use it. I kick so well, even 3 rails that I rarely leave a shot. One rail kicks, I guarantee you'll face a bank 4 out of 5 times. On yea, they call me lucky. They can't beat me in 3 cushion either.

    Heart???

    Heart is the ability to turn it on and bury an opponent, or to come back from being many points down and still win. Those that have heart, aren't trying to win by sharking you. Heart of compassion is usually coupled with good character, so when a weak player craps all over you and wins a match...

    ivory ban lifted?

    If you want lots of Ivory in your next cue, perhaps a half grown elephant slaughtered in front of his family will provide enough for all the inlays, joint, Hoppe ring and ferrules. You know what makes nice white inlays? The teeth of cue makers that take a deposit and never deliver a cue.

    Anyone recognize this one?

    Dufferin. Before 05 was Made in Canada and a pretty decent stick. After 05, is made in China. The China cues roll flat for the first 2 weeks.

    Minor Honor at Our Pool Room

    Players from all over the state fear you Lyn, and rightly so they should. You have a great stroke, a head full of knowledge and an arm that can execute.

    Old sharks have very sharp teeth.

    The best sponsor for pool?

    OK, I'm watching pool on tv...I'm new to this, so tell me why doesn't the guy shoot? He walked around the table and back. He's stroking the cue into the air towards the light. He gets down to shoot and gets back up. Did one of the balls move? What is a shot clock? Why doesn't he like the way...
