No . . . not very complicated at all, but logically and beyond doubt, completely antithetical to the core purpose of productive, invigorating and enlightening Internet discussion forums, which is to allow stimulating, free expression of opinions and information sharing that relates to a mutually...

Jam: Love ya and your always well-reasoned and contributory writing, but I must helpfully add to your post a bit. I'm waaay past 65 and want to add that most falls in the bathroom (and elsewhere in the home) have little to do with speed of gait and limberness of muscles -- but rather more...

We're not old, Stu . . . we're merely in a more advanced state of youth. My favorite quote from the Talmud is: "For the unlearned, old age is winter; for the learned it is the season of the harvest." Arnaldo

From Peter Burrows FB page: Arnaldo -- Can't wait watch this!

Dynamite title for a thread, CJ. I look forward to watching it -- who wouldn't!!! Your acquired marketing chops equal your world-class pool competing skills, for sure. Arnaldo

Stu -- With your well-earned credentials via years of up-close tourney spectating (plus careful video scrutinizing); deep knowledge of all the pool disciplines; and acute observational skills -- no one has sounder, continually dependable estimates of these kinds important victory-governing...

If like me, Straight Pool's your lifelong addiction: definitely a pattern play lesson from the 14.1 videos of Souquet and especially -- John Schmidt (and in person from either man). Arnaldo

http://www.thehypertexts.com/Harold%20Worst%20Pool%20Billiards%20the%20Best.htm What a read, Philly!!! Can't thank you enough; for re-posting a link for all of us to that article. It is pure gold -- a real keeper. Moving, dazzling, so inspiring and . . . as close to supernatural talent as...

It's likely been discussed with either whatever estate individuals still remain, or still-living relatives. Any savvy producer or screenwriter would know how to research exactly what details are known and how to dramatically arrange those, as well as -- equally important -- determine what is...

"Not who won the most cash or tournaments but who held their speed the best under high money stakes pressure." . . . or held their speed the best with or without some "jellying" Arnaldo ~ That would be an interesting -- likely unknowable -- metric

Reportedly, (per Freddie Bentivegna, Bill Staton and Grady Matthews) Harold Worst played every cue sport at a world-class level and never lost a tournament or action match during his entire all-too-brief playing career (died at age 37 -- stunning friends and fans alike). Won international 3-C...

Cisero Murphy, best known for his literal mastery of Straight Pool -- with some significant major victories in that discipline -- very effectively used *the* longest pause of any national/world class champion. His stroke was silky smooth, and mesmerizingly beautiful to watch. Here's a brief...

It's actually quite easy to understand and not really more complicated when you're made aware that there's a very wide spectrum of player-to-backer (financier) impromptu verbal agreements. The con "agreement" that his financier set up with innocent Efren (via primitive translation), was...

Word had definitely gotten out -- because a dazzled spectator had asked "Cesar" (that's the spelling he was entered under, not Ceasar) and in the excitement and confusion with signature-seeking fans, he blew his cover by signing his real name, "Efren Reyes". The Morales ruse was designed to...

Sad side of the innocent, humble early years of geniuses (like Efren) in any endeavor throughout history. Many like Efren -- post-predator encounters became wizened, subtly vigilant, and impossible to victimize further. But few if any, after protectively evolving, remained so essentially...
