That feeling of making a bridge, that feeling of holding the cue, chalking up, racking the balls, all of that would be pure sh*t with gloves on. I sure do miss shooting pool.

Mario might as well go on a cocaine bender now, so he can stop slamming pizza and donuts into his pie hole. He looks like he is on the same diet as Buddy Hall and Kid Delicious.

Thank you for the reply! I wonder when this one was made. Upon further research, Helmstetter did not sign his early cues, so this one must be a later model. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

All of the information I can dig up says that all of the Helmstetter cues have ebony and points. It appears that this one has neither. Anyone willing to share their experience or expertise on this? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

It could be worse.

Watch at 13:30 Busty shoots and the cue ball rolls super funny before it lays to rest. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ET8NTAZTk0s Forward to 13:30

My pre-match ritual must include something that a large percentage of pool players choose not to undergo due to their own gross negligence. I take a shower with soap and warm water.

Its funny you bring up the pool room potentially offering healthy options. The league I participate in is here in sunny Southern California where people are into taking good care of themselves. If the pool room did offer veggie burgers, kale, tofu, etc...I think those items still would struggle...

Carlo Biado has been finishing high in the money lately, so to claim that him beating Ralf is an upset is just flat out wrong. One of the great things about pool is that the game does not care who you are or where you're from. The game has no memory, is not interested in the past or the future...

What was interesting in the clip was Shane's response in the interview. He says, "You know I'm thinking I just wanna play 1 pocket. And theres no way I will play in Hard Times anymore, the tables are just a mess I can't even bank the balls." While saying this, he lowers his head, smiles, and...

This is my favorite clip to watch lately. The tuxedo, the accent, everything. My favorite quotes: "Well, the guy at the bank doesn't think so" "I'm the Bossman!!" "Hey, let's break this guy's thumbs" loooooooooooooooool!

"And thats what I do. I order a sandwich. Have a Pepsi."

This is from the TAR interview with Shane and Efren. Did I hear Shane correctly? Forward to 1:06:02. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kL9ena6j6M

Here in the LA area, there is a pool room that has been around for awhile that is still up and running, and it doesn't sell beer/liquor. Hard Times in Bellflower, CA. Please keep in mind that Hard Times is an extremely rare example! Hard Times has very rich history, a tournament room where you...

Must win by 2 is a fantastic rule, but tournament directors will never embrace it (time). When playing heads up, I offer the must win by 2 racks, and many players agree. Similar to pick-up basketball games, it gives the team thats behind a chance to apply pressure to the leader. It also...

The future of pro pool players: At least they'll have a laptop to continue posting on azbilliards.

Must give credit to SVB for his heart and willingness to play for the cash. There are plenty of pros that are just nits and unwilling to play cash games unless they have a big edge. SVB is a true pro, in that he will play cash games all night long, then take down tourneys in the day. Very old...

I don't know Lock, but I do know that a father is not supposed to bury his daughter. There is nothing that will repair or mend what happened. Please accept my condolences.

"In the middle" is a poker thing as well. Once a player puts money into the pot, or middle, it is no longer his money and is considered part of the pot. When calculating pot odds to determine the mathematically correct play (fold, call, raise), the pot size includes the money you have put in...
