TX Hold'm Pool Game

We all know being around the billiard world.... there is NO game that a good player can ever beat a top pro..... unless maybe a race to 1.
In my travels I happened to be at the Bicycle Club in the Los Angeles area helping with the artistic competition, also ran into Cole Dixon who was playing cards as part of his life.
I became friends with Bob Turner who's been running this card club for decades, a few yrs ago we went out to lunch together.
He mentioned TX Hold'm changed poker forever, he also said it's a game that offers chance.
It's the ONLY game that regular poker players will play with the pros.
They feel/know they have a chance, it's he ONLY poker game that offers this, and most often the only game card players will play in Vegas.
In our pool world, NO games offer this to the average player, where a 600 Fargo could beat a 750, just ain't gonna happen.
Even with the Fargo rated events, they seem to cause this and that with money/game count etc and they are always playing the first day into the second day
Three ball, six ball, nine ball, ten ball, one pocket, straight pool, avg players CANNOT win playing even, when there's a 150 point Fargo Difference.
All I can say is Colorado Hold'm pool game... is called Short Rack 9 Ball, pro rules, 9 on the spot, and the 9 ball is ALWAYS movin' on the break shot.
Recently I held 2 events and a local man won the event, a few weeks later he returned to play a second time.
First match he drew a gal that drove up from Pueblo, she beat him 7-0.
In these events.... all winners/losers start each round at the EXACT same time. Finals dinner time or earlier.
Tell your room owners about this, I'm gettin' ready to promote, I have 2 events this next mth in Denver.
I'm in Denver, i saw this event in the springs a while back (or somewhere else south of here) and it definitely piqued my interest; seems like a fun concept. I may join at felt. thanks for promoting it here!

TX Hold'm Pool Game

in cards it isnt clear who will win and who will lose. the best players win in the long run and have major ups and downs.

not so in pool the better players as said almost always wins each and every match.

and handicaps only make for some of the difference and never give the weaker player much of a chance anyway.

bill i hope whatever you are proposing works out well. as when a not so good player wins his buddies say if he can win so can i and then they sign up and get in.

Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

most sports have lots of dead periods.

and yes, if you are a complete layman one pocket is boring or too confusing to watch.

that is where 9 ball comes in. and to an extent 8 ball as most have played it in a bar.

and soccer is loke that but the running around is a build up to the big excitement.

9 ball shooting the 9 in is not exciting its just the same as all the previous easy shots. the early shots are or can be exciting as you have decisions to make. by the time you get to the money ball its mostly all over and just popping in a hanger.

my case to make is that 9 ball with be the death of pool on tv. where there is a place for one pocket.

perhaps someone will come up with a game more exciting than both can provide and save pool.

Energy transfer from cuetip to whiteball

A friend of mine asked me if it is easier with soft tips to apply english to the whiteball than with a hard tips.

Tell your friend the answers can be found, along with convincing demonstrations and thorough and logical explanations in the "Can a softer tip put more spin on the ball?" section here:

Energy transfer from cuetip to whiteball

you really cant hit it hard without creating the speed to make it hit hard.

you can use a long or short stroke but to make the cueball travel a certain distance you are going to have to give it the speed.

just like allan hopkins with his short jerky punch stroke, or whatever you call it. he got lots of distance and draw. as good as most. but he had the speed with his punch stroke to create that energy.

in other words if you can say create 25 mph speed in a short stroke or a long one. both will hit just as so called hard.
