Haha! So they are changing the name of Team Europe so Fedor can still play for them.

When I open up Solotto, I dont see any events listed. Do I have to subscribe in order to see ?

No, there won't be any. (or extremely few). It's basically meant for you and your buddy to create a match and play it. That way both of your scores go into FargoRate. (costs $3 for whichever player initiates the match on their phone, free for the other player).

I've posted on my local FB pool groups before that I wanted a Salotto match with "new to me opponents" and have gotten a few hits that way. If you do do that, be prepared for railbirds saying it's garbage and for sandbaggers.

I also use it a bit for long time friends, as a way to keep score between us, and have ammunition for one of us claims he is the best in the group.

There will probably a few like-minded players in the pool hall that want to do similar to you, and would be willing to keep score using it. Most will say no.

My favorite story came from a man from my father’s generation…Micky Bell.
A guy asked him to play rotation for five bucks….he broke and made every ball….the guy quit and paid him…he gave the owner a quarter for table time and went out for a coffee…..came back to the pool hall half hour later and the owner sez he owed him more table time….
….Mickey sez “ I paid you for that game.” Owner sez “ Yeah but the cue ball is still going around the table…and we can’t catch it!”

Are you sure his name was Micky and not Bucky?

Yes, I have 3 of the "best" ones. I don't remember if any of mine might have "USA". There were actually several varieties of logos, markings, etc., some of which were not marketed in the US. Whether or not it is marked USA does not seem to have anything to do with the quality from what I have seen, some of those are nice, some are crap.

That is really nice. Looks very high quality.

I really like the way this cue plays. I don’t think he takes orders anymore.

Still might be that guy who used to attend DCC and other major tourneys continually looking for action insisting that he has a cock that hangs below his knees. Sure he'd get beat up some but a fair amount of people did pay up.

In the old Brass Rail in Durham, NC, there was a local sweater named Wayne Dixon who used to ask every road player if he wanted to gamble.

When the road player said, "Maybe. What's the bet, and for how much?" Wayne would reply "I'll bet you a hundred dollars that my d**k is littler than yours."

I don't think that anyone ever took him up on it.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

I've beaten two Mosconi Cup players several times each. Just don't ask me how many times I've lost to them.

I'm also undefeated against Leonardo Andam. Beat that stiff 5-3 in the first round of a local weekly tournament that he dropped in on, and then quit while I was ahead.
