    Johnny loses his mind on livestream

    People say "stuff" when they are emotional. It's fine. Johnny was emotional and likely for good reason. Not a single thing wrong with venting sometimes. "Bad look" yeah ok, fine. But it's also not some big deal either.

    If amateurs racked for top 9 ball players on a typical local 9 foot table

    I don’t have any sort of formulaic way to give a percentage but it’s not as much of a difference as some would say it is. The break is inherently random hence why layouts are wildly different from game to game. Yes you may not make the corner ball or the 1 in the side at the same exact rate...

    9-Ball needs to be fixed

    Just remember every time you say it’s more enjoyable for spectators that you’re talking about like minded pool players. Who you are absolutely NOT talking about is people curious about pool or might be, people who aren’t indoctrinated already, and people who play pool as a means to hang out...

    Well stated. (Because I agree)

    Pool$ vs Poker?

    The best player in a pool tournament wins far FAR more often than the best player in a poker tournament. Which is part of why so many more people play poker than pool.

    9-Ball needs to be fixed

    SVB missed at least 4 times in that set. Nobody has ever run the entire set out in any game at the derby. They even have a rule for it, if the opening player runs out the set then the other player gets a chance to match it. It has never been used.

    9-Ball needs to be fixed

    It's exactly 1 additional shot. Meaning when you make like a 5-10combo now you have to make the ten again to complete the runout. Obviously that's what I was refering to.

    Jump stick rule change??

    Amen to that. Variance/Luck is GOOD for the game.

    Jump stick rule change??

    I’m pretty darn good with a jump cue. But the difference between myself and my opponents with them is minuscule and until you get to the elite tip top players there isn’t much difference at all. However I’m a far FAR superior kicker to other players at my level. And kicking is art. Jumping is...

    Jump stick rule change??

    I’m all for getting rid of jump cues because it’s pretty boring to me to see guys easily get over balls. It used to be much harder. Nowadays, with today’s technology, you see APA5s getting over full balls with ease. But it’ll never happen. Because event sponsors sell A LOT of jump cues and...

    Too ridiculous to even begin to reply to.

    9-Ball needs to be fixed

    Ten Ball last doesn’t add anything aside from 1 additional shot to the run out. It’s a completely moronic rule if we’re being honest. The moneyball should win the game when made, it’s not complicated.

    9-Ball needs to be fixed

    I don’t think the game was broken before templates came along. As long as people had to hit them firm the game was fine. There’s not a thing wrong with occasional packages. Derby City has a rule that if anyone ever runs out the set then their opponent gets a chance to match, it’s never been used...
