The open players are people who haven't placed higher than 30. I'm not sure how the BCA determines someone who is known but hasn't played in the BCA before. Just as a note, Sharon Weis also played in the Open. I believe Caroline beat her for 5/6th...

If you're playing for fun or practice, I'd bring a newspaper. When he's at the table, make it very obvious that you're reading the paper and not watching him. If he says anything to you about disturbing him, look at him stupidly and apologize for interrupting his concetration and go back to...

The Wynn is the only mega casino within walking distance of the Riv. The Wynn is beautiful and if this is your first trip to Vegas, definitely worth a look. Personally I like the Bellagio best, but it is not the easiest to get to from the Riv. Also, if you're looking to stay somewhere other...

my biggest pet peeve is one I can't believe hasn't been said yet. There are so many ladies on the board and you know what I'm talking about... I HATE with a passion when I go into a pool room alone to practice. Without fail some idiot playing on a table somewhere in the room feels he has free...

My understanding is that ref's cannot call make the call if a ball is frozen or not. That is something that has be agreed upon by the players. All a ref can do is watch the shot and call it a fair hit or foul. If a ref determines a ball is or is not frozen, then it may alter the way the...

Actually Chelsea did reopen and they are now Slate.. the worst excuse for a pool room if there ever was one. It is more of a nightclub than a pool room. I heard recently that Slate is struggling to maintain it's overhead and they charge $17/hr +. needless to say it's no longer a pool players...

I'm guessing it has nothing to do with your cues and everything to do with your back. When you injured your back you threw your entire balance out of whack. I would suggest seeing a chiroprator or back specialist to make sure your spine is aligned properly. I'm guessing that you are...

anyone have any updates. The brackets haven't changed since this morning. :(

ummm- new york city....

Hey Kid, you mentioned doing mental exercises. What are some of the mental exercises you do to keep you in a match when you're feeling fatigued, sick bored etc...? Seems I'm struggling to keep my mind from wandering and would love some pointers/tips on what you do. Thanks. Mscue

Anyone have any information about today's matches... The WPBA brackest haven't changed all day...

I've been playing w/a Schon that someone gave me. I have to get a new tip put on it. I was wondering if anyone here knows what kind of tip Schon uses. Thanks

The best pool instructor in the tri state area is a guy named Todd Fleitman. He teaches out of NJ, but I can't remember what room. If you are serious about learning, then he's the guy for you. Every student he's had has shown incredible results. He will teach you something one week and if...

It doesn't matter if you were playing a D or pro, any questionable call on a shot always goes to the shooter if there's no ref. As the "better" player who knows the rules, you should have known that and kept your mouth shut. Once the match was over, explain the shot to him and explain why it...
