Could Mr Banks actually be Marty Herman in disguise?
Yes. I can deny that. Look, I just did.
I have seen and read pool being discussed here for a few years now. We really don't need you saving us, especially since it isn't working.
Herman is a major pain at times and just flat out crazy, i think Herman is very pool educated(just nutty) so i dont even think herman would come up with all this nonsense about pool, but hey you never know for sure, i just dont think its him!

That's assuming he can play!
I just don't like that people have taken to calling PK by my name with this latest change.
Like Put said.. this joker's talking about being down 7-1, getting the balls to the end of the table 'where he wants them', blah blah blah. I'm surprised he didn't ask about scooping the ball while standing on the table and how it may be ok since no rules were called and his opponent wasn't watching.
He could find another AZ'er to play against, since they're all over the map, but he's just a troll and that'll never, ever happen.
I have no clue why everyone is down on CB but the answer to the question is : the guy who raked the balls loses.
Quick funny story: old man Darman and I were playing as partners against a very good shooter, getting a little weight. We were playing a $100 a man race to four (our $200 vs his $200) and we were on the hill at 130 in the morning when the houseman said he was headed home at 2. Darman and I get up a couple of balls right off the bat in the case game and the other guy goes into a stone cold stall. To be honest, it was par for the course and we knew we were looking at a push.
Back then, I was just learning 1pocket and had absolutely no clue about the shots but Darmen knew them all and wasn't scared to shoot them. So we're down to like the last 10 minutes and it's my shot and I'm thinking of a safety that won't sellout and Darmen says, "Shoot the kick." It's cross-table and a total sellout if I miss, but he was the senior member of our corporation, so I shoot it and it goes. Now I'm looking at a long end rail bank with a CB that goes absolutely nowhere and Darmen puffs away on his cig and says, "Shoot it." And I do and it goes. Now the CB is near the kitchen and there's a ball above the other guy's side pocket, IOW a *wide* cross table bank, and Darmen calmly instructs, "Pop it and draw the CB back to the side rail" and I do to end up perfect on the last three balls (there may have been a carom involved for one shot). One of the rail birds said it was the greatest out he'd ever seen.
We won with like three minutes left on the clock. Think the other guy wasn't sick

I didn't say how far uptable each ball was brother, you're living in a dream. Nobody makes a straight back against me because I leave them welded to the rail at the perfect spot for a kiss. I can't even remember the last time I gave up an easy straight back.

I'm drawing out the best one pocket players in the world, a US Open Champion, and who knows what all-time great will be next.
But let me ask you, do you think it is because my threads are good, or because my threads are bad? Answer honestly for yourself.
Stop.
I have had Keith McCready, Mike Dechaine, John Schmidt, John Brumback and probably several more that I can't remember make replies to something I posted here or threads that I created at one time or another. It doesn't mean a damn thing, because its a forum. That's what people do here.
Stop feeling so special because Hippie replied in one of your threads. That's what people do here.
If he were to come on here and say how much he thought of you and the great idea that you were spouting off about at the time, that would be a different matter. Since that isn't the case, stop trying to insinuate that what you are doing here is validated simply because a great player made a comment in one of your threads.
He's talking about Jimmy Reid. I like the moniker Diamond Jimmy Reid better, but that's just me.
When someone says Hippie Jimmy, I normally think of Hippie Jimmy Marino.
I would be interested to know which Jimmy Reid prefers.
Freddie <~~~ moniker-less
Like I said, I don't know why everyone has an issue with the OP -- probably because I don't read all the threads and was just responding to the question which I thought was an interesting one.
If someone would like to explain what "the problem" is, here or in a PM, that would be appreciated.

Combine SAM, DrCuesProtege, and the kid who loves Cuetecs and plays his father. Throw in a little Patrick the Alien.
Freddie <~~~ and I might take the mix instead
