A story told to me by the recently deceased JJ Jenkins. If you knew JJ you can appreciate his story telling ability. "It was Santa Monica in the 60's. The place was alive, it had a pulse all its own. The action was unreal, money flowed through that place like water. There were more high...

#10. If you have been playing for years and you still miss shots you should make you could probably use an aiming system. #9. If you are sure you are aiming in the right place and you are stroking the ball but it isn't going in the hole you may need an aiming system. #8. If your high run in...

I recently had some back and forth postings with Lou Figueroa in a thread of where to play in LA. He had trouble getting a game in LA at Santa Monica Billiards. I was not aware until tonight that there was video footage of him trying to get a game in Santa Monica which pretty much shows how...

According to AZ in their story on player of the year. " Shane Van Boening, had a great year. He won more money than Orcullo by playing in more events." This is not true. In events that Orcullo and Shane played in common Shane won about $97,000 and Orcullo around $60,000 According to AZ "The...

I believe this is a first for the US Open where the final 6 are from 6 different countries (Finland, England, Spain, Phillipines, U.S. and Canada).

Jean Robert Bellande who was known as Action Bobby in the pool world for a number of years until he turned to poker 5 or 6 years ago is doing pretty good at this moment in the main event. He is in the top 20 and guaranteed 57K at the moment but looking for a lot bigger payday (top prize is...

For anyone out there who thinks Scott Frost is just a one-pocket player I am posting a few links so you have a better idea of just how great Scott Frost is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq1Z2aPaeUI http://itsacrime.typepad.com/its_a_crime_or_a_mystery/2006/12/never_fear_scot.html...

http://www.fictiondb.com/author/scott-frost~39895.htm In "Run the Risk" Scott covers risk/reward ratios and when it is time to run the risk and go for the win in one-pocket. In "Never Fear" Scott covers the mental side of the game of 1 pocket and the importance of overcoming your fears. In...

Scott Frost was playing Jean Robert (Bobby) Bellande (the card player, Survivor participant) one-pocket a number of years ago getting 9-6 for $200 a game. Bobby didn't know who Scott was and was getting drilled. After Scott had robbed Bobby of his bankroll, Bobby came over to us to borrow some...

A good friend of Scott Frost's just told me that Scott was bitten by a black widow. He is under emergency care and had a seizure last night. He has a MRSA infection in the leg and apparently it could be a life threatening condition and may require surgery. The friend of Scott's said he just...

I was wondering how many others there are like me who are optimistic about the IPT. I have read a lot of the negative messages about the IPT and Kevin Trudeau. Nothing I have read or observed about the IPT or Kevin Trudeau has me convinced that the IPT can't be successful or KT is a bad guy (I...

"Yup.. But I don't think you'll believe in that C player stuff after I take the 10-7 you offered me and I cram it up your ***..... But, while you still are convinced you know my speed, please let me know which pool hall you play out of, and your full name, so I know where to come to get that...

Probably very few people bother going to the IPT forum but there were several posts today by players receiving their May payments. My guess is very few players believed they would get their 4th payment and even less probably believed they would get this one (their 5th). If this one was for...

Here is a review of the book Sweet (2nd half of page) http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31102 a few tidbits: "the 8 ball league had a variety of rich, poor, homeless,nasty, rude, sexist, bad at pool...or horrible at everything else and a wizard with the balls and stick." (Sounds like a normal...

Looking at the statistics from the Vegas and Reno events I see that Bernie has now been paid a total of $2550 which translates to $255 per game won. Efren has received $120,000 and with his 415 games won this works out to $289 per game won (just slightly better than Bernie). I didn't do any...

I went to the chat room for the first time tonight (10:30pm Pacific time) and I saw that Deno was in there talking about cues. I asked him if there was any word on when the players would be receiving their checks? He said they would be receiving them shortly. He then added "What most people...

I am pretty sure Rafael Martinez and Gary Abood won't go off at 600/1 and 500/1. The most overrated player according to the odds would have to be Rafael Gonzalez. He was listed at 250/1 and it looks like he should have been 250,000/1. Did you see his record? 2 games won and 32 lost. If...

I am sure every poolhall has the type who are never in a game unless they have a dead lock. They would rather sit all night not playing than ever get involved in a fair game. I heard a funny story about one of these characters the other night. The lock artist hung out at the old Hollywood...

After reading all the criticism of KT (and all of the positive as well) I got to thinking what I would do if I had 15 million sitting around to invest in pool. The question is what would you do if you had 15 million that you had to invest in a pool tour over the next 3 years? After the 3 years...
