I was impressed with Krause this week too. He played aggressively when I watched and didn't back down from any tough shots. I thought Biado would come back on him on Friday but Mickey didn't flinch.

I sympathize with Brandon as been dealing with some of that myself, not a major medical issue but more difficulty in getting down on the shot. If you haven't dealt with it, it's hard to describe the lack of confidence you can have. I caught him in dead stroke around 2009 and he made the game...

I watched and agree Brandon doesn't look physically comfortable. He was resting his bridge hand on the rail before getting down. Hope it is nothing too serious, he is still relatively young, 41 or 42 I think.

A thread about Tadd seems to surface every couple years. I've always been intrigued by them. I watched some his accustats match vs. Davenport today again and it's hard not to be almost hypnotized by his talent. Probably fair to say he was something of a pool savant.

I saw Matchroom's social media had some players running a 5k yesterday. Welcome to Florida in August boys! Don't bother with sunglasses 'cause they fog up anyway once you step outside.

Yeah I recall their brand cashed in on that somehow. Relatedly, next month my store will have Oktoberfest beers priced at $15 for a 4 pack of some craft brand and the traditional German brewers priced at $9. I just have to laugh at the people who buy the craft brewers imitating the real...

I would owe him another if he could down a whole PBR. Last time I had one I failed to finish that skunk bomb.

Congrats to the Hitman. I'd like to buy him a fine German beer and say Prost on becoming an American.

Wu might have the highest winning percentage? That guy is a freak of pool and hope we can see him play again.

I find Biado's stroke interesting to watch. That juggling/twirling of the butt in his grip hand, that explosive slight flicking motion to generate power, it's certainly not something I can mimic but obviously effective for him.

I can remember those days when a league player had a $400-$500 cue and that was high-rolling it. Now most rooms are filled with shafts that start around that price. Of course time value of money factors in, but still a steep increase. It would be interesting to see Predator's profit margin on...

Yes, but it seems the odds makers had the same kind of skepticism some of us did on his speed.

I just saw this on page 1 and have to wonder if anyone laid a sizable wager on Ameer.

It seemed like Incardona and Grady hinted at Louie's recent past but understandably didn't choose to discuss it much.

Accu-stats dropped this one today. Looking forward to seeing Louie play, have only seen bits and pieces of him prior to this.
