Anyone want to talk about the Russian Kenny situation last night ?

obviously they want him there as they let him enter. so if you enter tough luck.

and that's how he is, so a player better get used to it. and so should a ref or don't take the job. unless you can punish him some way for his behavior.

no, you're not supposed to get used to the opponent talking and flailing when your shooting. he can babble all he wants when HE is at the table.

Adams or palmer identification help please.

Neither one, 70s-80's Taiwan cue. KaoKao made a gillion of these.
Well... still a great candidate for testing my refinishing/ rebuilding skills on..
Surprised it has a pro taper shaft...
Oh well, slapped a bit of uv cure resin on it and gave it a polish.. Next I'll cut it apart and replace the wrap section with some Bolivian rosewood and add some super tusk to it... that should make for a pretty nice looking player...

I think “background movement or noise” is very different than a referee (or spectator) being still until you’re about to shoot then moving.

That said, how often the movement causes the miss and how often the movement is an after the fact excuse for the miss is a good question.
Exactly.. that being said I always blame myself when it happens because after 30 years of playing I know I should stand up and reset.
If you look at the arena that they play or any arena of tournaments, there are other tables around near by, there are other players and referees and photographers that move in front of a player taking a shot. It's all part of the game. This guy is clearly not up for it...
These are all excuses.
If we go back to the discussion of gamblers and gambler's mentality vs. athletes and athlete's mentality, well here is your answer...
Absolutely not the same .. this is referee standing right by your table. He should know better as a referee to stand still when a player is down on the ball and from it was said this guy did it multiple times in different matches.
Your pool room doesn't have a single hothead, or loud complainer, or lunatic?

You, my friend, must be blessed.
Right !! Haha
Who paid his entry?
