Watching it on Youtube TV. Pretty nice on a 65" TV. Her form has went all to heck in this match. Not like she normally plays. Kaylee is a way better player but Veronica loves her pool and that is all that counts. We play a lot together, she's my wife's best friend.

I knew Veronica when she was in the Mankato MN area. Great player and just all around good person! I haven't seen her in many years, but it doesn't look like she has changed much at all!

mike had no business being in that final. being seeded TO the final was nothing other than a monetary gift from his buddy KT..

I just read this so my apologies for being six months late.

It literally was Mike’s business! Of course it was a monetary gift from his buddy Kevin, Trudeau, and it was Mike that brought Kevin Trudeau into the Pool world. The whole IPT was Mike’s idea and of course he was gonna get paid. I’m not saying good or bad here. Remember that every Hall of Famer that even showed up got paid. That was one of Mike’s biggest beefs in pool was that the best players in the world of a game that millions played never got the financial income that other sports did.

Did Mike deserve to be seeded into the finals? Of course not if you’re looking at the current best players in the world at the time. But that’s not what this was about. At the time of the IPT Orlando event, Mike Sigel was still arguably considered the greatest living poolplayer, who had retired a decade earlier. It was meant to be a flashback to the Hall of Famers and gateway for current players to get a higher paycheck. Sigel set the rules. So I suppose if Sigel didn’t get his seat in the finals, maybe IPT never happens. Good or bad,

Has anyone ever played 8ball but with 9 ball rules?...maybe 8 ball advanced...ex. after break if you make a ball choose either the high or low set and go in order. Obviously if choosing the high balls start with the 9 and after the 15.. then you pocket the 8... ever hear of this game?? Just a thought..

Yep. Rotation 8-ball. Sometimes as a spot. Saratoga is a short rack version.

Thanks guys. Got from it from Muellers. They had catalogs full of cues. Cue shopping was great back then.
