So this is your first Mosconi Cup I presume?

Small production tip...pass it on to Emily... Crowd needs to be closer to the table. Carve out a players seating area (surrounding by fans) if necessary. I hate when the crowd is too far away, it reminds me of those old 90s ESPN productions.

It's a great idea, just not for aging pros. These guys are the players they are at this point. It's the next generation that needs a different focus.

There's no help there either at this point. Alex is not really a hyper focused short race player at this point. Him and Morra are only slight upgrades. I don't see a way out of this hole. If they can't fly the Stars and Stripes I don't see what the point is. I honestly think a better answer is...

He dogged the leave just like JJ mentioned. Tyler makes subtle positional errors like that quite often. He needs to pay closer attention to the thickest of the hits he leaves himself.

That's not really what's holding someone like Oscar back anyway. What holds him back is his ability to do basic math. For a player of his caliber, passion doesn't pay the bills. He's actually played his cards in life just about perfectly if you ask me. A 800 Fargo Rated player CAN NOT make a...

Gorst has done this exact thing. SVB has done this exact thing minus the coach. Tyler has taken a very professional approach to the game but he's just not world class. ‐‐‐---------------‐‐----‐------------------ Below the line are guys who have probably figured out the juice isn't worth the...

I've been away from pool for a bit and haven't watched this year. I can't stomach watching guys dog it any more. I've done it enough myself, so it's no longer fun watching others do it. I just feel bad for them. Guess I've grown old and soft. I think it's time to pull the plug on this whole...

Here's the match mentioned:

I haven't had time to watch any of this event, so my view is based on previous events with this format. For me, it's the combination of the short sets AND the somewhat arbitrary racking quality. The ship has sailed on using any triangle rack if you ask me. The spreads after the racks are so...

I read that: Josh is cute in manly cocobolo. Not the image of him I wanted.

Eclipse the contact point. Everything else is noise.

We were talking about Ozzy Reynolds getting banned from AZ.

If league pool was a buy or sell stock -- I'd sell right now at a high. I think they are going to hit a wall in the next couple of years because one of their systemic advantages is being able to rate players, and then use this insider information to field competitive team events. Players...

Yeah I did some searching. I think he got banned for having multiple accounts. It had a lot to do with how they treated JCIN after the takeover. I think they sort of took advantage of his whole TAR operation and sent him on his way.
