I know Gerry. 40 years ago, he didn't have to lose to anybody playing 9 ball. Silky smooth. Probably the best combination pool and snooker player ever.

"there was Earl with a joint the size of a loaf of bread"

non pros and even lower quality players that are gamblers will tend to bet more than any pro ever will. and should.

when i play i dont let anyone bet on me as i cover it.

and unless you know something, betting on the lower rate fargo guy is foolish.

and when betting tend to get a bet down on the side you cant get a bet down.

My first job was in a large, very old factory; it was there since 1900. One day (in the early 80s) I was wondering around and found old file cabinets in storage. I found employment records there from the early 1920s. Hourly pay ranged from 20c to 40c per hour. The funny thing was most households were single earners and they had larger families.

I grew up during times of high unemployment. I can recall interviewing and fighting for entry level, minimum wage jobs...and they all paid the minimum wage. Now, today, get this: my 18-year-old son working part time as a bank teller started at $25 per hour. Something isn't right.

I've never really seen finished Quilted Narra (certainly not in a pool cue) though. This should be interesting.

Ralph is still in N.E. Ohio we played socially 2 years ago on my table. He is still very capable of running a 100 balls. Ralph likes his privacy.

Yes, doing good. Just saw this almost 10 years later, I only know 1 Franko, the one f.o. That was friends with John, he would always squeeze the you know what out of your hand after a match

sold to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a table breaking well for you takes all that into consideration.

and some tables just dont take ball in on the break.

ive seen tables that if you made one 30% you had it down. and some you made a ball almost 100% on.

having experience on a table that hasn't been moved is a big advantage for a run out player.

and players that cant run out or those that cant keep the one ball and cue ball close after the break, then the break is a disadvantage.

not talking about tournaments where racking can make dead balls.

Everyone is out shooting pool, someone in Hawaii must've seen the Cue.
