    Shane calls a foul on himself

    Maybe it was less tooting his own horn and just seeking reassurance for a decision that despite knowing it was right, he could have still been struggling with after the fact. I was raised to feel compassion and have empathy for those in difficult situations. It's all conjecture from me, and i'm...

    Jay Helfert resigned as Tourney Director at the US Open

    Everyone wants Pool to become a respected sport. Do you really think this kind of conversation doesn't occur in other sports? Deflategate? Questioning of every call of a coach in any sport that doesn't get the W. Fans of every sport armchair quarterback, *****, and talk trash to each other about...

    Beware of rcgray he left me hanging

    So, basically, you made an agreement to sell a case. Buyer was less than 24 hours late with funds and you sold the case to someone else instead? I dunno bro, I think you might be confused about who left who hanging here.

    Beware of rcgray he left me hanging

    Dropping the hammer like 24 hours after the deal is supposed to go through is IMHO bad business. You have no idea what's going on. What if the person was in a car accident? what if their ISP is down and they can't get to paypal, or send a PM? Sure, i get it, a lot of people make deals and don't...

I thoroughly enjoy On The Rail TV, and appreciate what you have done. I'm from Tennessee, and a C player on a good...

    How Does One Handle Opponent's *-house luck?

    I try to stay even regardless. Sometimes the rolls go my way, sometimes they go against me. The pool gods are fickle creatures. Generally if i'm getting a lot of lucky rolls, i won't say anything until after the match, just stay focused. After the match though, i'll tell them that i realize that...

    Will you, Have you, achieved your Pool potential?

    I have achieved my pool potential. 1. I still enjoy playing and don't really get upset even when my stroke is in the tank and i can't catch a roll to save my life. 2. Potential? Hell, i'm a C or C+ player, life and deployments have pulled me away for years at a time, I would likely peak at B+...

    Stolen Cues

    Holy crap, hadn't owned a Schon before, and have gotten used to Joss SN's. I guess Schon has no SN. Kinda sucks for confirming legit or stolen.

    Etiquette if playing in a tournament with childhood idol

    Just want to clarify, in no way do i feel anything is owed to me. I can't even hold my game together with no distractions, i can't imagine how difficult it must be to stay focused and polite when fan's are bugging you, especially if it's a period when they feel they are struggling with their...

    Etiquette if playing in a tournament with childhood idol

    It's not really about looking cool for me, more about doing my best to emulate the professionalism i admired. The top players in the late 80's and early 90's laid a lot of groundwork for making it more of a legitimate professional sport IMHO. I feel like the highest compliment that can be paid...

    Etiquette if playing in a tournament with childhood idol

    No doubt, I intend to be pure business at the table, or in the chair as the case may be. :)

    Etiquette if playing in a tournament with childhood idol

    When i first started taking pool somewhat seriously in the early 90's, Johnny Archer was my favorite player, mostly due to his quiet professionalism. I signed up for a local open tournament that he is going to be in, I'm outclassed by a mile by even the worst players signed up, but it was worth...
