stalev was fast and very flowing, but he's a small, thin guy. probably the best player that dipped his toes in pool but never gave it his all. incredible player.

I was mistaken, he was from Malta, I was thinking of Tony Drago.

I watched about a minute of the video and gave up any hope of getting facts out of it.

Who are you, his manager? First off we could bet his statement is false and there are more rooms in the area with 9 footers than his pilot eyes can spy. Fort Myers’s area is a great place to spend the winter months so one good pool hall is all you really need.

Yes DinF...Who the fk are you. It's time we know who you are.

Ok, you got me, it’s only 75 miles Clearwater is a long ways from Diamonds Billiards. When I walk into a room there’s usually a waiting list to play me, I must be the only guy around with a job I lose plenty and win plenty also. It’s more fun than the casino's.

You bank in the pool room...you bank in the sky. Who are you?

Southern only has one 9’ table. Diamonds is great, the 1P players there know me. I’m all ears if there’s another good room with more than one 9’ table even remotely close to Naples or Ft. Myers.

RackAttack said:

100 miles? That’s false. You mean I picked the best pool room in the area with more action than you could handle? How much did you lose? Players from Clearwater, Fl, are always in SW Florida looking for action.

I saw the interview (or at least just that question, IDK if there were more). It was just an informal question by a streaming channel asking if he could change one rule what would it be. IMO, he wants to take away the BIH on an illegal break that sets up the 3 fouls. ...

I see the "3-point" rule as far more problematic from a fairness point of view than a flubbed break shot leading to 3 fouls. I'm not sure what a good solution is, though. "You gotta hit'em right hard," is not very satisfying as an alternative.

I disagree. I tried learning some of the math based systems and they were a pain in the butt to remember. On the other hand, visually seeing where the balls will go is as natural as looking straight ahead. Zero numbers to add, zero "is this system thru the diamond or across from it?",etc etc.

I'm surprised he didn't say "get rid of the nit rules that a player can lose the game by taking the balls out of the drop-pockets, after the 9 has been pocketed, but before the CB has stopped"
