Nothing but pocket! Nothing but pocket! You might nail it.

not to the other florida open, but BNR rate seems higher than other tour stops? despite the toughest pockets yet (scott said 3.9")

That is a brutal draw.

that's a yin and yang match, a methodical mover vs a (sometimes reckless) attackdog

you never knew who would walk in the door at the billiard den. and there was always some kind of action if you hadn't knocked yourself.

one time this arab guy who was hanging around asking people to play but only had 500 and 1000 dollar bills.
no one would play him thought the bills had to be bad. and didnt want to have to make change as they won games.
i played him and did whatever he wanted, and ended up with the bills. long time ago but still have one i kept.
jimmy caan was a kid in new york pool rooms like 7 11 before he went west.
funny how the biggest thieves and scammers are so afraid that they might get taken.
your friend butch was there every day. scaring people by just being there..
ronnie roper was the house local who was the best and had backers all the time. he couldnt mess with all the road players that hung out during the day waiting for night time bar action.

Whatever he's had done I think he looks good! If anyone doesn't like something about themselves, I always wonder why they don't do something about it. There's no shame in getting new hair, having a mole cut off your face, taking a shot to slim down, etc... People should like the way they look!

he looked hard as a mf with that feder emilianenko hairline though

i must say, although i'm a fan of both nina simone and the tune, that "sinnerman" is the most out of place song between racks ever. lol

I do have the rule book. The box was unopened. It's just out of the picture. I will gladly share this with you as I don't think that's violating any copyright according to the first page.

I agree. I probably wouldn't have added the yellow snooker ball set but it was a sale price and my US dollar was $0.70 to the Canadian dollar And free shipping. so it made it not so bad. Something different for the collection for sure.

Thanks for the pictures! I think I had scans already as well. I played it once, but I am not sure if I played it correct. Being not a native English speaker, I sometimes struggle with understanding rules if they are very vage on specific points and situations. Like: If I pot purple and miss orange, does purple come back on the foot spot? You know, things like these not the general rules per se…

If the Snooker set would be cheap, I would get one as well. But Aramiths are very expensive, I don’t even have a normal Snooker set from them, only a Chinese one and English Crystalates. I would love to have an American numbered one and maybe the yellow one as well, but I can not afford to spend my money there and better get something else for it

There are only TWO hard and fast rules in pool ball.collecting.

1. What's in the box is not what came in the box.

2. They only ball set you will regret is the one you didn't get....

These make great tattoo's, on your forearm, maybe in a Old English font.

I would add one more:

3. The balls are always more damaged than in the picture of the sales post

just ask them to play a set with you for x amount of dollars and also give you help and instruction. most will when they have time.

and it doesn't have to be the best. there are lots of great players in most areas that can do the same thing.

heck, efren used to play weak players 10 bucks a game and help them out. cant get any higher up the ladder than that.

I expect no instruction, but I would welcome it.

For lower ranked folks in tournaments, I've got a friend on a league team that's like a 450 Fargo and signed up for the Texas Open. He's been playing really well recently, but I can't imagine he makes it more than a couple rounds. He decided to do it because however slim there is a chance he could play Fedor or SVB.

For me, I'm hoping one of them offers exhibition matches for folks to play them for money. I'd pay $100 to play a quick set with one of them
just to say I did.
