    APA Double Hit Rule

    The ref's job is to make a call after an action is taken not to offer advice before. That would have been her team captain's responsibility if she still had a time out left.

    Newbie and nerves

    I have anxiety and deal with nerves while playing pool. I mean I don't really deal with it. I'm just sort of along for the ride and it does what it wants. That and my fading eyesight are why I'll never really be good. More than anything, what helps the anxiety is not thinking. Which can be...

    Break Cue queries

    I would look for something with a bigger tip than a playing cue. Around 13-14mm. Conical taper instead of pro taper. I haven't tried tons of break tips but I like the white diamond I'm using now. In your budget, I'd start with Schmelke. Or buy a Players jump/break. Edit: I bought my breaker...

    Online betting -- getting what you asked for?

    Corruption. There was plenty of money in Atlantic City. Unions, the Mafia, politicians, and a particular casino owner took most of it.

    Poor Man's Exocet?

    I have always recognized a difference between cheap and inexpensive. It looks like coocoo prefers cheap.
