People in general are basically dishonest given the chance. I would not expect them to call a penalty on themselves. Camaras everywhere now though have put a little fear into people. Not that it has changed their instincts, they are just a little more fearful of consequences.

My interactions with fellow pool players has been overwhelmingly positive. I've been cheated a handful of times. The problem is -- the bad actors stand out and paint a bad picture.

Dumb rule.
How many players would really call foul on themselves when the stakes are humungous?

I would say the vast majority of pro golfers and pro snooker players. You regularly see snooker players calling fouls on themselves in the biggest events.

It’s a culture thing - they were raised in the game knowing it was expected. There is hope for pool though - I remember Mickey Krause called a foul on himself in the Mosconi Cup.

Guru's of pool for ID'ing cues. Two more that I need help with figuring out.

That's probably right. Hector's early cues had a flying V, although I haven't seen that logo. I guess I can email him and find out.

I paid $600 for one of his cues about 18 months ago so I'd guess somewhere around that. I might be interested if it's for sale.

For reference, this is what the new logo looks like.
