there's not a ref on every table all through the tournaments. with area refs this rule makes sense

other guy, nalaunan, won his match too, beating naoyuki oi 11-5

yea i don't trust fargo numbers with these pinoy players. just watched aivan maluto take out wu kun lin 11-8. stone cold killer. did the same to wiktor yesterday

A new player in town asked me if I wanted to play him some 9 ball sets. I said sure. He asked how much did I want to bet. I told him I didn't ever ask anyone to bet. The poolroom got quiet as many eyeballers wanted to know the game. The new guy said quite loudly "Well, you're not going to play me for free." at that, laughter broke out and he asked why they were laughing. I told him "Let's find out." We settled on a nominal bet and I steamrolled him 2 sets before he quit. As he paid me he said "I never thought an old man could play 9 ball like that."

It’s KPY v Maluto, and FSR v Nalaunan in the semis.

Uh oh that brings a favorite memory. I was passing back through Weaverville the town I was born in and graduated high school from. It was kinda fun beating the local champion as he bragged of deflowering the girl that I had a crush on in high school and oh yeah he was allstar at baseball and football too. So naturally he was the best pool player in town. So as I was enjoying the beer I was winning, a transplant siddled up alongside me at the bar and uttered, "WE don't take kindly to hustlers beating on the locals."
I got a good chuckle and pointed in the direction of the hospital and explained that's the hospital that I was born in. The old high school the other way is the one I graduated from. You Can't get any more local than that." His threatening posture kind ah just melted away. Shirley it dawned on him that the local champion and I were friends. Well both very competitive towards each other in sports but on the same team when it came to locals vs transplants. .

other than the Ultraskins, I have grown to like the Tiger Onyx tip a lot. I still love my Ultraskin Pro due to it's consistency and less likely to miscue with it, but I have been really impressed with the Onyx especially when I'm using it carefully to it's real potential and within it's limits. I would say that I like it better than the Fire Medium Ultraskins. the Onyx Medium comes close to the Pro tip in performance.

come on guys, anyone in nyc is welcome to test this is welcome. im looking to buy a big cue and need to move some items.
