Hi Craig. I decided to PM you instead of posting in the forum thread. Btw, in case you're ever back in town, my cel is 678-595-9017. I live in the Smyrna area (NW Atlanta suburb), and with no traffic I can get to Mr. Cues in about 30 min.

I am whoofing at the whole country (or maybe the Midwest) and maybe it’s more of a friendly bark

One pocket is alive and well in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. You might consider a trip to buffalos in New Orleans. You will get all the one pocket action you can handle.
I am told they have tables there where a sign says "no gambling cheap" or something to that affect. I am worried I would be in deep water with sharks there. I am less of a shark and more of piranha or something like that.

Do you ever get the feeling that the Fargo Rate of a player just does not seem right?

The data does show that Fargo holds up well when people from one area (a state) travel to another area to play. There is less jurisdictional bias than we think. Players from all over the country do as expected (no statistically significant difference) when they all convene in Las Vegas for big tournaments. (The exception was players from Puerto Rico that did a little worse than expected).

The data also shows that women's Fargo ratings hold up quite well when playing against men.

The guys at Fargo have heard all of this before, have studied it and made videos to share the evidence.
The data doesn't lie.

Gold Rush: Curly Pyinma with Inlays

Gold Rush - Curly Pyinma w/ Inlays
My first encounter with a cue made from Pyinma wood, and it's easy to see why Kevin enjoys working with it.

The curly figuring has remarkable depth, revealing an almost three-dimensional effect as the cue is rotated under the light.

Finished with dagger-shaped black inlays, the bold contrast beautifully complements the wood's bright natural tones, resulting in a cue that's both elegant and striking.

The only thing I'd mention is both shafts has been slightly sanded down as the previous owner wanted a longer stroking area.

Do you ever get the feeling that the Fargo Rate of a player just does not seem right?

I imagine that’s probably true with some. With the guy I spoke of, he truly doesn’t play in tournaments often at all, but he’s in action at least 5 days a week, and there’s no Fargo for that. I speak on that firsthand as I’ve been playing this game for over 50 years and while always in action, I never play in tournaments, and therefore have no Fargo rating 🤑
If anybody wants to know
Have them call me
I will assure them that you are a solid 450 Fargo😉😂
