Don't confuse being addicted to action with having a gambling problem. Making the game mean something puts the life into life and keeps your competitive spirit alive. People who have gambling problems are the ones who have to risk more and more to get the same rush and then raise the stakes...

I seem to recall watching an interview with him where he claimed that playing with a Cuetec ruined his game. That was right around the time frames in question. I'm not sure if he actually felt that way or if he was just on a rant after a loss.

Regarding practicing on a bar box, one of the best bar box players in the world has said to break a full rack and then run them in order. It will help train you to deal with two common problems on a bar box: Clusters and Traffic.

Even though poker has been on the decline since Black Friday, top online pros can still consistently make more in a week that SVB or anyone else can make in a year playing pool. If Alex is choosing poker over pool, I guess I can't blame him. There is way more available action in poker than in...

Imagine if the only way you knew the score of an NFL game or an updated leader board from The Masters is if someone took a picture of the physical score board from time to time and emailed it to you. "Why is pool dying?...why is pool dying?" I understand that streaming events is tricky and...

I would go 314 with a milk dud for 9 ball. If you play a game of 10 ball, you switch to an OB1 with Kamui brown medium. For 14.1 i would switch to a predator z2 with an elk master medium. One pocket should probably be played with a Tiger X Pro with a Kamui Clear.

What happens when you hit 4K posts? If there is a cash prize or reward, I might care.

Banking the 6 cross-corner is the most natural way to get shape on the 7. :D

When I some cut shots over the rail (cue ball froze/very close to rail) I need to adjust my aim a bit. For some reason, only on those shots, my alignment is about a 1/2 ball off. All in all though, the cue ball should go exactly where you aim it. Odds are, your cue and sight path are not...

The real problem with pool is that the general public does not go to an establishment to play pool. They may play pool if they are already there, but they are not going with the intent to just play pool. That is why there has to be all this other crap in pool rooms. Golf is more thought of...

So the plan is to only televise what you are calling "Final Table Events". That would mean there needs to be some type of qualifying going on at people's homes are in random bars/pool rooms...as opposed to a sanctioned venue with referees and tournament directors. If this is the case, how do...

I am 6'5". I prefer to have both knees bent slightly and also have a wider base. The wider base and slight knee bend helps to get lower on the shot without much strain on the back/hips. This stance also makes it easier to do the stand-up power break. I equate it to other sports requiring...

The game of 8 ball is interesting, but I agree with JB it will be a runout clinic. I would argue they should play on 7ft Diamonds. More clusters + smaller windows = more exiting to me.

Any pool on TV is better than no pool at all. That said, imagine if the only basketball you could watch on TV is the Harlem Globetrotters. Trick Shots on TV always depresses me.

I would argue this isn't private information...just like NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL contracts aren't private information. Granted BB isn't in the same universe as those, but I'll still draw the comparison.
