    Predator WPA World 8 Ball Championship 2023 (17-22 Oct 2023), Austria, Winner $75K

    I'm sick of playing pool... :(

    Roy Steffensen, after another 13 years, you finally return to America, only to triumph once again. Talent is, as talent does. Congratulations on playing so well after another 10-year layoff from pool. Now you can say you have played in the BEST ACTION ROOM in the United States of America...

    why do some pros fly to England for the tournament, when they have a small chance of winning?

    Dr. Brown story. Early 60's, Twin Cities

    A friend of mine told me a story about an old doctor that loved to play pool. I would be interested in knowing if any of you have ever heard of this story. "He got in a fight over a game of nine ball and got his belly sliced across. The old bastard held his guts in, drove to the hospital...

    REWARD + GoFundMe Acct. to catch Mike Surber's murderer

    My letter to the Mayor's Office in Ocean Springs did not get a response. However, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety did try calling me a couple of times, during the time when I was visiting my sister-in-law, in hospital a few hours from where I live and just didn't have time or the...
