    Calling all New England Hustlers, Scufflers and Backers

    You don't need to sound off on AZ bro, just skid into Steinway broadside.... with all your money.

    Why all the nicknames?

    What if your real name is just fkd up, like Lipshitz or Slutsky..... something you just don't like?

    Breaking Solution

    If the other guy is on the hill, weaker player had 10 breaks to his 5..... so that means the break isn't helping the weaker player enough. Weaker player did have his chances though, breaking 10 times. Had the weaker player given up 10 breaks to 5 (as in winner breaks) he may not have reached 5...

    WWYD 9 Ball

    I like low right. Center draw can work but the cut is thin. I would be afraid of hitting too hard and losing control if I just went center. With a little outside spin you can hit the 7 fuller and softer. If it looks like too much of a jack up though, I don't want to turn the shot into a masse...

    Breaking Solution

    "At pro level, I could see what youre saying....racking with the 9 on the spot works pretty good too. Otherwise, I see loser breaks benefitting the underdog because the format itself is designed to keep the game closer.

    Breaking Solution

    So, what does it actually do? I've played loser breaks many times, and I have no problem with it. To me, loser breaks just means underdog rules. Its not a spot, but it gives a chance to the guy who isn't supposed to win.

    What do you do with chalk when it gets low?

    I think you guys are wasting lots of good chalk. Nothing wrong with using the sidewalk to sand the older pieces down. No need for sandpaper, saws or files..... the chalk still gets on the tip.

    You and a friend in a tournament?

    The way I've done it, pairs or groups split on all winnings no matter what. If they match up head to head, the higher seeded player is chosen to advance without the loss.

    The Hustlers: episode 9 Atlantic City

    Scatter a few more F bombs around, and I really like this quote: you're supposed to be pool players, just be ****in happy it's getting a minute bit of attention. Seriously though, great episode. The tour bus, team aspects, the state to state action, new players, the selection of the top...

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    I just meant I'd rather be cursed out to my face as opposed to someone posting on AZ and saying I'm bad action. I guess times have changed. Not trying to knock you Barry, you are probably a nice guy, and you deserve to be paid. I just think you should have waited a little bit longer before...

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    Id rather be cursed out as opposed to having my name dragged through the mud. I guess its the new age of internet tattletales. Me, if I knew the guy a long time I would figure he tried to win his money back on credit.... but then went broke. Sneaky yes, but that's part of the chance you take...

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    I finally thought of something cool to say, and you had to go and ruin my moment! Seriously though, good point considering we don't know the history.

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    I agree, but I don't think going public is the answer. Especially when they know each other for a long time, give him a chance to pay first. Besides, fish deserve better treatment. When they occasionally jump outta the tank you gotta quickly throw em' back in the water..... not hang em out...

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    The guy is a few days late in paying, so far that's about it. By going public, you just gave Simon a reason NOT to pay you.
