I just learned some fast-food drive thru places outsourced the person taking and entering orders. Sometimes you're talking to someone in India!

You can't scrap a decent pool cue! Put a little money in her and save its life.

Here's mine.

I can't tell for sure, but it may have some veneer missing here. Maybe it's a reflection. This is not normal. I have the same cue (original) and mine are jet black. The bottom shaft doesn't match. In terms of a refinish, opinions very on this. Personally, I'd refinish as opposed to...

Does it have veneer damage down by the wrap or is it a reflection? As others have stated, value is heavily contingent on condition and straightness. From the poor condition I could see, I'd be shocked if the shafts are anywhere close to straight. It could be worth 2-3k if it's a good...

My opponents always play like that.

You know how many racks I've lost being up 7-0? I can't count that high. When you're in that position it feels like it's practically impossible to lose that rack. I'm still surprised and amazed when it happens.

Either that table is a short 3x6, or that guy is HUGE!

We played poker every Friday for years after that. Eventually, a few of our older players passed away and our game fell apart. I lost contact with him probably 15 years ago. Hopefully he's still kicking around somewhere. I didn't let his offer get in the way of our friendship. If anything...

Yeah, there was something special about the way the struck that cue. Such confidence. When I was young, I used to be able to copy / emulate someone's game and stroke. I think I did it unconsciously from people I was trying to learn from. I wish I could have emulated that stroke - I would...

The guy that invited him uninvited him and told him why. The cheater wasn't a friend outside of poker, so I never had any contact with him again. While I'm not a professional poker player by any means, I have played a real lot of poker. The one thing I can say about having a cheater in the...

Yup, about 30-35 years ago I was playing in a weekly Friday night poker game with friends. Low stakes ($1-2). One guy invited a friend of his who played with us for a couple years. The new guy was a fairly regular winner, and I was a somewhat suspicious, but I really didn't believe anyone...

Yup, 125 (I just checked). Let us know how yours comes out and how long it takes.

You sure $125 is right? If so, that's incredibly cheap. Not sure how they can do it for so little.

Didn't CJ tell a story about him running a ten pack on Busty and then Busty doing it back right behind him? I also recall hearing Archer running out a set (8, 9, or 10 racks) and beating Busty. Then Busty asked him to double up on the next set. I like that one. :)
