I don’t like gambling period.
I think it’s the worst thing for pool.
I gambled a few times, just to teach some idiots some life lessons, never took the money at the end of it…
Thankfully, I have other ways to make money.
I got to be the best that I could be, without gambling.

I have a question. When are nano powders unsafe?

when they get dusty and you inhale them.

There’s no answer to this lol everyone’s natural ability is different. I got pretty good pretty fast but I’ve seen people in leagues for 30 years who play all the time and are still terrible. Not to mention quality of practice. What kind of practice are you putting in. To many variables for this to have a real answer

Sounds about right. If we think about the maximum rating an adult person could reach within their lifetime from their current starting point with realistic motivation/training amount etc. (so no 10h a day for 10 years bullshit which works for 1/10000 of the people for economical, motivational and health reasons), then 600-700 is the most common upper bound. 700-800 for some, if they are already quite highly rated and/or somewhat talented and/or well-off for the sport physically. I doubt anyone has gotten to 800+ as an adult if they weren't already a 700+ as a 18 year old.

I chose adults to discuss here, because a hypothetical 4 year old is much harder to gauge as it's not clear at all how much of their potential is capped by genetics and how much by their motivation and amount/quality of practice for the rest of their childhood/teen years.

Imagine winning $1.5M and then coming back to play WNT tournaments

As Gideon mentioned, he will probably only be interested in WPC.

pool players shouldn't hang their hopes on a big outside sponsor continuing to add money like this.. it's very possible this whiskey co. didn't find it being a good return for their investment and that this was just a one-off.

To offend you, I would need to understand you. I have the crayon’s if you have the time. Seriously, from your OP I can’t quite understand your point. Could you elaborate?
