Funny Things Said to You at the Pool Room

As all of us has met a ton of characters over the years. These two one-liners came from my cousin who was a solid pool player but wasnt near shortstop level.

It didnt matter what tournament he played in, even if he went 2 and out, when asked how he finished, he would always reply, "I was one out of the money!". Everyone in the pool hall cracked up, and used that line often.

Same cousin, who liked to act like he would gamble big (I never seen it other that mostly cheap sets), asked another local player if, "You wanna play some $100 sets for $20?" Again one of my favorite lines.

Insane Flea Market find

This guy had the stuff from a pool table service/pool hall for sale. Look at all of this. The uhaul was packed with felt. I got three rolls of Simonis for $60

Predicting and Controlling Cue Ball Direction off a Rail with Follow Shots

Okay one last comment before I get into trouble. 😉 (again 😉). Your baseball analogy is flawed in mentioning the pitcher instead of the Hitter. Would you recommend that the hitter look at the fence if they seek to hit a home run? That's rhetorical 🤷‍♂️
The majority of the population will give a different answer than the majority of World record holders (or GOATs).
So checking credentials of those offering coaching is recommended.
Willie Hoppe, Stephen Hendry and Jason Shaw make a GOAT threesome that covers the 3 most common Cue Sports. All three speak clearly their method.
Comparison of pool to snooker.....well the money talks. 🤷‍♂️
So seriously Dr Dave ...oh well the current situation in United States politics is probably the best example of intelligent people trying to defend the indefensible.

2026 WNT Ranking event- Chinese Taipei Open, 8-11 Jan2026, Winner $30K

Don’t recall anyone in recent times winning both warmup event & the main event.
Enjoyed last few matches. I like that these match winners had to make a tough shot to win match

Surprised that arena is packed full house (maybe it is small arena). Taiwan pool in slump shadow of its former self. Read somewhere that few decades ago at height of pool boom, Taiwan had 5000 pool halls now only a fraction few hundred halls only. :LOL:
They sure could have done better on the arena. Had some spectators standing up.

Yes big blow to Gomez.
Other drama in that same WPC is Buste vs Peach match where Buste potted 9ball but was ruled correctly as foul by ref after long deliberation.

Most of these ranking events also have edge over MR in (a) they have more tables streamed 5 tables while MR is very stingy 2-3 tables only and (b) they are free and usually on Youtube. Wnttv player interface is horrible compared to Youtube :LOL:
Tried rewatching snooker on wnttv. Just terrible. Canceled that real quick
