Hey. Thats what a lot of the pockets at the hall I frequent measure out to too. On their 7’s. They were supposed to be tournament cut. But half of them are 4-5/8” I’m with the 4.75” crew. Even though that 1/4” shouldn’t really make much of a difference. If you are thinking it does. That means...

Ah. I read into it too much when you said you were “feeling a bit for the pros, but they are paid to be there”

Right but I thought flake inferred there were pros there.

Did he get ball in hand? If so there should have been no problem.

I might be signing out for a week or two. But if so it won’t be for long. Just something missing in my game right now. I don’t try-I win. Then everytime it matters and I really want to win and put in the effort I lose. Doesn’t matter the opponent. Could be that guy Charlie living under the...

Boogie is playing chess over on the 8 ball table….not bad. I like to out offense my opponent on those ones rather that playing defensive. Doesn’t always work out, but when it does….

So looking like they will have to hold 30+ qualifiers if only a max of 4 make it from each one. Thats a lot of qualifiers to schedule. Wonder how many will be in the US?

Ah. Just put your head down and go for it. A lot of us are getting older and feel the same way.

I have the same one as my first. P-90. it got broken once. So I had Viking refinish it later. They couldn’t salvage the brass pin. So it has a newer style joint. And while there they put white with black speck on it. Viking must’ve liked the design when they got it in because they started...

Easy Double kiss. Ball sitting by the side next ball over it. A little angle to pocket the OB. If you cut it you just overran the next ball. If there’s traffic you are screwed or banking the next ball. Hit the OB into the nipple with center. Double kiss and pocket. Works every time once you...

Ah well. Once an 8 ball player always an 8 ball player. Little story here. As I’ve been getting slack on my 9 ball breaking in another thread. So when I was 18 I started frequenting the hall. I was only good at 8 ball. Even played an adult league at 13yrs old and was a 5 then. Well everybody...

I always leave the hall with my pockets empty or leave the coins on the table when they are not….had a little green squishy from my daughter to mark pockets with in APA for a while though. And before that a pink one. They don’t last long in your pocket before they turn to junk.

Oh man. I have never seen so many people so critical about a 480’s break before. You can’t have it both ways guys. I should leave it at that, as a funny, but will explain something to you all. You don’t understand the point of the break. I was playing the pro ghost. You need a look at the...

Ill even add that and say Pool hall junkies wasn’t even about gambling. It was about a guy and his struggles to get to the pros. It was actually stated gambling was a bad thing not gambling was good throughout the whole movie. It was even stated in the first scene that all Vince wanted was to go...

Nothing different from a tournament and playing Mano y Mano. You are putting in money to test your skill against others and trying to make money in the process. Some people prefer higher stakes and that in turn gets some in trouble. Makes for a more interesting plot. I always find it odd that...
