Arizona Open 2026, Yuma, August 13-16

That's why I use the phrase "American-born" because depending on context one is more appropriate. For contrast: when talking MC, Fedor is an American. When talking the US's ability (or lack thereof) to develop talent, we need to discuss American-born players and Fedor definitely does not count.

I think that lacks nuance. Someone who moved to the US at age two isn't American born but certainly is part of the US's talent development.

My Fargorate progression

The gist of backpocket 9 ball rules is the 9 can’t be moved on a push or a bad hit. If it is, the other player can keep it in place or move it back.

A good hit but a subsequent foul (as in no rail or a pocket scratch) is different. In that case, the 9 must be played in place.

I have a rules page I’ll link it later. I asked several old timers in Philly who played the game daily with Pete Fusco for his rule set, and generated a Google Docs page with the info.

Fred “Scooter” Goodman is a thief. Here’s how he stole from me:

tobermory

many or most of my best memories from the pool and gambling world are from, down and out, or unstable, or criminals.

they had stories, a real life, and most were good to be around, if you weren't the type to judge people by their money.

and almost all of them except for small time lowlifes, were more honorable than any of the business people i knew.
