SVB probably not hitting the UK Open again this year. Who knows. He stated he wasn't going to Buffalo's. Presumably that meant to UK. But then he stated he is going to the VNEA championships (5/21-5/30) for an appearance. Maybe he will just go to the first part of that and then fly out to the UK.

isn't VNEA an amateur league? i know he doesn't do buffalos often but the way he plays 1p now, he's a top 3 favorite. and if this war bs continues to affect the asian players travelling, he should like his chances in UK too

it is also what basically all other europeans would consider those countries. cultural/historical differences in languages and traditions etc. it's not controversial to me, i'm partly from the czech region and i love the culture.

You referring to me?

Still whining? Where did I whine? All I did was talk about how I thought the table could be slightly improved.

Lame saga? When you get a brand new Diamond Professional for over $11,000 I don't think that's a lame saga.

Sounds like you been listening to the other idiot on here that I have blocked a long time ago.

If you don't need a day-by-day rundown then simply don't read. Looks like all you do is whine.

So, now, let's just let it go..........

Forget about how it breaks..... If you had to pick one.... GC or Professional. I love the Professional but I'll take the Crown4... And I'd still swap the Pro for a GC7 with the right set up person.

I generally say "good match" whatever the result. I think it shows respect to the opponent. When I play poorly and my opponent says the same I don't feel insulted; I already know it anyway.

Does this wingnut even get it that he's become the laughing stock of AZ? He got his table and he's still whining. Does anyone at this point really give a airborne copulation? I for one don't need a day-by-day rundown of this lame saga.

There is not an "always" answer for me.
It's a wide range depending on how the game or match went.
Pre match I prefer a salute with no words. If they advance with hand extended I shake it. No biggie .Some of the handshakes will say, "shoot well", I prefer "good luck".
Post match, their behavior during the match determines what I do or don't say. If they are good sports my comment would be genuine and cordial. I have encountered total ass hats that I just turn and walk away. They certainly wouldn't like what I had to say.

then maybe most all your shots should have that stroke. accuracy on your hit is the most important thing in pool.

for positioning,-- speed and english, and the change in where you hit the rail will be the difference in how you hit the bank shot.
not your bridge and stroke length, unless needed for reaching or comfort.

You played like a gentleman...I enjoyed the game.
