    Yeah, if he keeps that up I may start to dislike him less.

    Deliberate foul query - 8-ball (and brief tournament experience)

    I really liked it. Not for all tournaments, but it certainly is entertaining enough to have its own place. It was really interesting seeing (nearly) top players performing under a very different kind of pressure. Gomez's 33-second 7-ball runout late against Tyler Styer to win that match was...

    What kind of table is this?

    The rubber has been replaced. These are all pinball machines.

    Yeah, I believe you are right. 1978 model:

    Items taken to the pool hall getting weird.

    If you don't like your expensive cue hitting the floor you need your own Q Claw on league nights.

    Scott Frost challenges the world

    Nah, hustlers only play to win. Gamblers will gamble on anything, even things they won't control. Gamblers will gamble on cockroach races. Odds are there to even out a match. If the odds are even, then you're gambling.

    Do You Find Pros Playing 8-ball Boring?

    8-ball is way more fun to watch pros play. As soon as the break happens I try to visualize what the player is going to do. I might get 2-3 balls right, but they always come up with some amazing, clever, creative shot through gaps in the traffic that I did not see. Rotation is only...

    Arrested for Ivory sale

    Yep. Looks like about 5% of what's on my 80-year-old piano.

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    Despite strong misgivings due to so many negative posts here, I joined an APA league. I enjoy any competition, and this certainly provides it. It's in a small pool hall north of Dallas. The tables are odd for APA, 8-foot old Brunswicks with 4 1/2 inch pockets. The cloth is deceptively fast...

    Recommendation: Pool Table Light ?

    I went a different direction. It was important to me not to interfere with the surround sound setup. The cans are configurable to any temperature and brightness via an app.

    Pro Golf/Pro Pool/Putt

    Absolutely. The speed control aspects are very much the same. And curling, which combines speed control with the tangent line concept.

    What would be the perfect tiebreaker?

    He will not be able to see very well, Cotton.

    Taom Chalk

    I got a free green piece and finally tried it. Taom works. Dammit. The chalk outline around the rack area is going away. I haven't cleaned the balls in 3 weeks. And it does stick to the tip. If you consider how valuable my time is per minute, it's even a good deal. Now I need a...
