"In the middle"

M
its not clear at all who is in on the so called pot of money. the real thing is what each player is betting not what side money is there.
and who knows what the real amount is as someone just says so and likely isnt part of the action..

and in poker the pot is constantly changing till the very end. and ive never heard them saying in the middle.
it is always said, the size of the bet or the size of the pot.

Break Stats -- 2026 Derby City Classic 9-Ball, January 2026

Yep, for example, if I played SVB and he beat me 9-1. The breaker would have won the rack 90% of the time. That data is skewed.

In winner breaks, I think it is skewed to make the break look better when there is a large mismatch. That makes it all the more remarkable when it calculates out to be close to 50%, If two FargoRate 300s play, I think it will be real close to 50% and six or ten turns per game.

Burn Shot Angles into Memory — Free Angle Training Tool for Pool & Snooker

Angle Detective

I went to angledetective.itch.io/angle-detective and downloaded the file.
It didn't automatically start up. I clicked on the application in a file folder. I only got as far as this warning:
Windows protected your PC​
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.​

Hi Paul.
Thanks for checking it out and for reporting back.

That warning is a Windows SmartScreen false positive that can appear with new, unsigned indie builds distributed outside major app stores. If you click More info → Run anyway, the game should launch normally.

If you’d rather not bypass Windows security prompts, no worries at all — you can skip the download, or try installing and launching it through the itch.io desktop app, which often avoids that warning.

I appreciate you giving it a try.

What is up with Earl??

Island Drive

I think he can be quite different away from the table. You saw the non-pool Earl. At the table, he does not behave like most. I've played him.

Earl was the best away from CJ's pool room in the parking lot of a hotel, tournament week and the suns shining. This was his exact character that I, Francine and Mike Massey saw the day he run the 11 pack.

Break Stats -- 2026 Derby City Classic 9-Ball, January 2026

the stats would be accurate for alternate breaks. as each would get equal chances.

the better player is going to win more games than his opponent so will break more often when playing winner breaks.
so % of games won by breaker does not tell the whole story.

you need to combine it with the number of times the loser won while breaking.

only real way to determine the value of a break is to have the same player play himself and do it all.
