I'm not exactly sure what has happened with the IPT, but it really seems to me that it's a good idea, just a bad business model they started with (as Jaden said) I understand that a lot of players didn't get their winnings, but there isn't much you can do when there is no money to go around. I...

Anyone on here from Northwest Ohio?? I'm looking to find some other players around the area.

any advice on a good break/jump cue?

Yes, my favorite! I can't stand people that whine all the time, (Phil and Earl mostly) I mean be glad you have your health, and realize that if you were that much better than everyone else, and there was no luck involved, there would also be no money to be made, so you'd be working in a factory...

ooh, Stu Ungar, I love your pic Punter.

Poor Earl need some luck, it's tough when you play better than anyone in the world, but you can't get any luck... I would love to see him on the World poker tour, or World series of poker, he would put Phil Hellmuth to shame when it comes to whining.

why no more OB-1??

it still said $10 for the whole tourney, but only through the next 9 minutes

Hey kevin, Looks like it's only a 2 hour drive between us. We'll def have to get together sometime and shoot some. Thanks for the input everybody. My original plan was to put it in the living room (that's what I did in Denver) but I really don't have enough room in any of my rooms, and...

That break reminds me of a guy that I talked to at a tournament, he was telling me in 8 ball if you hit the second ball with low right hand english (breaking from the right side) it gives you the best chance at making the 8 ball on the break. Tried it a couple times, never seemed to work...

Thanks. I'm in NW Ohio, so the temp ranges from around 10*F in the winter to 90+ in summer. The reason I ask is that I have decided to get back into pool. There is no poolhall around here, the only option I really have of playing is to play at bars which can get costly, not to mention the...

I am wondering if it's ok to keep a pool table in a garage, or will the weather change mess up the wood/playability of it?

Thanks a million Jim, I printed that off, and I plan on running the drill tomorrow. I've always loved drills and am always open to new suggestions. Thanks again, Richard

Ok, I bought a Meucci HOF-2, not too happy with it, I saw a guy shooting with a OB-1 shaft on his cue, and he said he really liked it, What I'm wondering is if I'd be able to get a OB-1 shaft to fit my meucci, and if I should notice a difference in playing. Thanks in advance, Richard
