Actually there really are not that many true American pro players of any race. All the Asian countries contribute a big % of true pro players and European pro players come from countries with low black population percentages —-

If pool in America was popular enough to create a much higher number of true world competitive pros then perhaps the racial mix would change a bit.

I've done this many times over the years. At times with limited success. Very limited.

And I tried this again tonight. Broke at least 40 racks, had probably five chances to run out. Got out twice.

But as usual, most of the spreads were just impossible. It's not necessarily the lack of making balls as it is the lay of the land on so many occasions. This GCIV must be jinxed. I hope I can get to Evansville tomorrow and play on that Diamond and see if the tables are jinxed or it's me that is the jinx.

Bump for Kevin’s personal playing cue. Cue hits and feels amazing. All business cue on the cheap

Isn't wolford one of those players these forums hate because all he does is play in bar table tournaments the majority of the time?

Yep, it was Abdullah who I was thinking of. Speaking of which, what happened to him and Omar? They were traveling buddies for all of those tournaments then and they just disappeared.

I don't think thats a correct comparison as many more women play pool than black people do.

Wolford collapses against JJ

He played fantastic at the Rum Runner earlier this year on bar tables

Maybe they are smart enough to know there are better ways to make a living.

It looks like 28 tables are in action according to the live scores. Maybe 4 TV tables and 24 others? Or maybe some practice tables are being used for matches.
