Seems directly at odds with the quotes from the interview I posted above.

Cheese jockey?

My point is when was last time you heard of PGA winner stiffed, or a NASCAR, NHRA, NBA, NFL, MLB, or NHL Player getting rubber or no check?

Pool is it had one group scanting it, escrowing, or guaranteeing money this BS would stop.

Until them Pool players are at the mercy of dishonest promotors, bar owners, or room owners.

you're missing the point. predator, WNT, duya, JOY are all paying out the prize money (and some of it is pretty damn good, for a small sport). this isn't one of those events, this is an independent event in some african backwater

Sorry for the second post, I should have added this as well -> the full version [a little over and hour]

We had a douche TD here in central Florida who did the same thing couple of years ago.

Not near that much money, but still $5,000 or so.

Needless to say, he was run out of town on a rail.

Under the heading of "class act", the owner of the pool hall where the tournament was to be held made good on the entire purse.

Nice video work, if you are a cyclopes. There are far too many videos out there in this format. It would be nice if they could be formatted for wide screen viewing too.

They did. This is just a reformatted reboot before the summer and right after Filler mentioned it in his interview after the UK Open.

Not a very good argument. It comes from the era of buckets. No 11.379 mm tips - precision wasn't real big other than don't miss for a couple hours avg.

CBL solves many problems; not the least of which is high speed accuracy. It shifts focus to the CB and your stick (you know the only thing that actually hits anything) accuracy; and all but eliminates perspective bias and it's real time re-aiming tendencies. Net effect, you hit the ball with a straight piston stroke, where you intend to hit it.

tell that to filler,gorst,and most of the pros
pros eat based on performance
they find the best way to do things
not whats best theortetically
not saying it cant work

Watched a little yesterday evening. Their events are pretty tough to watch the first couple of days. Today there is only one winner's round at 7PM. May tune in for it, may not. Might just check back in Saturday night.

How many times can you name a PGA Event Winners did not get paid?

How many time have we reading in last 20 years some Pool Player got stiffed after winning tournament, or rubber check.

Will keep happing until all of pool is under one group who has scruples.

you think an independent tournament in bantuville, south africa, a failed state, would ever be the equivalent of a PGA event?

This sounds like it written by AI

yeah, and this is not the first 'new member' doing that and I wonder why. Been a few lately that have been removed.
I guess trying to establish an account w/some credibility for future scams and/or link placement?
The perfect grammar and "Mick Varner", "Gatty", "Plays very well and feels exceptionally balanced" are all kinda giveaways.

I've got nothing against the AI tools, I use them daily. (Not for this post!) Just like poolhall props and scams, w/a little experience it's not hard to see it. But as mentioned in another thread it's soon going to be harder to tell.

Thanks for the response back from everyone. Outside of playing with seasoned players and picking up pointers to help me develop into a competitive player, are there good books that would teach me the fundamentals of playing pool. Things like learning the different angles, strategy and tricks in playing. Something I did in table tennis to compete at the state and even national level. But it's time for me to move, when the other players refer to me as the coach and not a competitor.
