    Is this considered a foul?

    It depends on what rule system you're playing. By CSI/USAPL rules merely touching a single object ball isn't a foul.

    Casting Call!

    5. I would have to go with John Travolta. I think Danny Devito would make the perfect Deno Andrews IMHO Jack Nicholson would be good for Earl Strickland Sharon Stone as Eva Mataya Elizabeth Hurley as Allison Fisher (I know they don't look alike but they sound alike...I'm just a big fan...

    Oddest gamble you have seen

    One night these two guys were matched up for hours. When the place was set to close...somehow they were dead even. Not wanting to end there...one guy bet the other guy $100 on who could pick the color of the next car coming by outside. Now mind you this was at 4am. About 10 cars passed and about...

    Bert - Secrets of shotmaking

    I definitely agree with this. However, in Bert's defense...he is by far not the only one guilty of this. Most of the instructional videos/books that I have seen have a lot of "filler" material. How to stand, how to hold the cue, etc, etc, etc. Worse yet are the ones that include "myths" of pool...

    Message from Allen Hopkins

    Isn't it funny how someone makes a statement on an internet forum and it gets analyzed inside-out upside-down round-and-round? Basically, IMHO all he is saying is to not make any rash decisions. My guess is that he has either read or heard about all the things on here. It's run the gambit. From...

    KT - Show Me The $$$

    So, the players are offered a third of their Reno prize money. My question is...what happened? I thought KT was supposed to be a multi-millionaire that was financing this with his own money? Is he cash poor? Where did the money go? Does he have the money and just refuses to pay what he really...

    My Predictions,hey Everyone Else Had Theirs

    Ok, I'll play along. Here are two of my own: After KT is put in jail...they will feed him the same potato salad and cold cuts every day of his sentence. (Only those who have partaken of the "free food" will probably get this.) Deno will get a job at Fedex in the lost and found checks department.

    Chicago Canceled

    I'm wondering...it is rumored that the main event in Chicago has been canceled. I had heard they were trying to add the qualifier on to the end of that event. What if they were unable to do that? Is there a chance that the main Chicago tournament is postponed BUT they still hold the card qualifier?

    Chicago Canceled

    You may be right. People on here have made fun of IPT supporters saying we were blind sheep and such. However, I don't believe that to be the case. I think most of us just wanted it to be true so badly that we reconciled obvious signs of problems. I heard all the promises. Never really believing...

    Chicago Canceled

    I absolutely will. It may have been a smoke screen but I heard this latest info from one of the IPT top Execs. Their disorganization was apparent all the way back to before the KOH. Wouldn't reply to emails. Wouldn't return phone calls. I honestly think you may get further trying to get...

    Chicago Canceled

    I'm not really surprised you haven't heard anything. For one...they ARE extremely dosorganized. Secondly, they are terrible at getting back to people...especially when they have bad news. Although I prefer to remain anonymous...I am VERY close to the situation myself and this contradicts what I...

    Hey Kevin Answer This~~~~~~

    Very well put Dynamite. It must be easier for one fraud to recognize another. I have never started an international multilillion dollar enterprise but it would seem likely that "bridges to cross" would happen in the early stages of such an undertaking.

    Real Pool,sort Of Real Money,sort Of Kind Of

    It must be very difficult for those who know the IPT gravy train is ending for them with the Chicago tournament. If people spent as much time working on their game as they did starting new meaningless posts...

    IPT- What I Have Been Told

    Well, I know for a fact that the IPT has been trying to extend the Chicago dates. Until now I had no idea why they would do that. However, trying to add the King of The Hill onto the regular Chicago event makes complete sense.

    IPT Rules - What's Next

    I was the one who said that and believe it to be true. Someone else made fun of me for being so technical. Sometimes you have to get very technical in interpreting the rules. Obviously someone from this past tournament saw an opening. These are actually ok because they are covered under the...
