And yes, Efren and Chohan gamble with the hoi pollio at various events. I've seen it too. But they at least give up some weight.

I have seen both of them gamble with the John Q Publics of the world giving no weight. In fact, one year my roommate played some $50 a rack one-pocket with Chohan with no spot. He won just one of the four racks played and seemed quite proud of himself.

It's different. That's for sure...

If I were a guest, I'd be more comfortable with a nice one-piece than your Southwest. Nice: 11.8mm, pro taper and a short ferrule.

11.8mm is getting down there. Straight pool?
I agree with a nice one piece or sneaky level cue.

The only thing that isn’t better now is the personality and feel. Pool isn’t alone in this regard, a great many things seem more sterile, soulless and overproduced these days.

I used to play pool as a kid and the first mistake or first advantage was usually game over. With so few balls on the table it was like russian roulette.

Snooker is more of a challenge.

I'd pay $100 to play Fedor in a race to 11 in 9B.

He's not going to run 11 racks on you.

He might string together a couple of 4 packs.

But you are going to get your chance to play a top pro. And feel the pressure of people watching. Which should make your league or whatever a little less stressful for you.
