What about Pool, Poker, and Pain? hahahaha

Was Oscar the player in the old days that played with something super thin, something about 10mm?

I think everyone agrees the last 2 is about the weakest spot in pool (talking about ball spots). But it still means something and can easily come into play 10-20% of the games for even GOOD players. For bangers, it can come into play way more. A banger like me, for example, I can't count how...

You know what's even more funny, almost all the tournaments these days are handicapped by game spots instead of ball spots due to FargoRate. Most of the local younger players in my area I don't think have even heard of the last 2, or last 3, or orange crush. I think most of them have not even...

Here is the Junior's finals. Gavin is way off of the cue to the side like Neils.

Kaito lives in the USA. I saw him in person at last year's Florida Open playing in the Juniors and was super impressed. Just from afar, I didn't meet him. I didn't watch the Juniors but now I think I want to to see him and Gavin play.

I heard this story 3rd hand when the discussion was "how strong is the last 2?"... Jimmy Fusco (a pro out of Philly in the 70's/80's) was gambling another pro and got beat quite badly. They played even. The next session they adjusted to Jimmy getting the last 2, and now Jimmy won easily. Of...

Well the way you wrote it in this post is correct. "where only 2 balls were remaining for the win". But the way you wrote it in your first post was not. I'm guessing you played it right just mis-typed or had a brain fart on the first post?

God no! Safe break, yuk. I'd kick you out of the tournament for doing that if I was your TD. Does nothing but make games and tournaments take forever.

I can't remember if you are in the USA or not, but the "last 2" always includes the 9. Its very well understood and clear in gambling circles in the USA.

I think they just redid this page? It does explicit state the 2 year rolling cycle. For the Mosconi and Reyes Cups, it gives explicit cutoffs of when they started. Shane's Florida Open win is reflected, so it was updated within the past week. Also, the old matchroompool.com page redirects here...

Yeah, there were 6 players left in the room (was 2am) and all of us had played at least 20 years, and I don't think we've ever seen it go quite like that.

Its good. They specially go over it at the DCC and someone always asks the question: "if it hits either of the side pocket tits is it good?" TD always says yes, at least the meetings I was at a few times.

NSFW, volume up. Trash talking included. 50 sec video.

For 9 ball I have no preference. For 1 pocket and banks I don't like drop pockets at all, because the score is not visible at a glance. The players will usually leave their balls in their hole and not use the ball holders on the end of the table at all. When the holder starts getting full, they...
