Tevez has to be close.

They used to have a regular golf game on the 5x10 at Shooter's in Riverside, CA. Pockets were barely big enough for a ball to fit in. Top players used to gamble on spot shots. Pot could get huge before someone made one.

He was already in give up mode. 4-1 4-0 was about as ugly as it gets.

It all comes down to the math. Say we both play 100 games vs an established 500 player. I am an established 700. you are unestablished. I win 81-19. You win 79-21. Would you say that you and I play about even? A 600 would win say 66-34 against the same 500 above. He should also lose...

I hope the instructor also gave him advice on how to gamble responsibly. Should he be playing sets for all of the money he has to his name? Playing for $5 or $10 or whatever ok. The issue is when they start playing for more and more money as they dont get the same rush or focus as they did...

Supposedly it doesn't have anything to do with gambling but bullying.

The second picture says pretty much everything. They are spitting in the face of someone who is trying to take junior pool in a direction which was well said in your opening paragraph. One prize for this event is sponsorship. They can have a say in who they think will represent their brand...

There is a video on youtube of bergman breaking and running 18 in a row on bar table with magic rack during an action match. I wouldnt bet against them putting up a 3 pack. If a ball is wired and they can play shape on the one, most top pros are going to break and run more often than not on a...

When the texas open was one on the spot with a magic rack(no 3 point), I saw bergman break and run 8 from the lag. 9th game he rattled the wing ball. He posted on fb that he had 23 break and runs over the course of 3 matches which were race to 9. I also saw Shane McMinn with 7 break and...

I have thought having the head ball be a ball other than the one is a good idea in 9 ball. With one on the spot and template racks, the pros make the wing ball on the break and play shape on the one. It makes 9 ball a joke to watch at the pro level. Even the 3 point rule doesn't make much of...

Fedor and SVB both played the one pocket at Texas Open. Fedor left for China Open and won. SVB played the 9 ball at skinny bobs where he finished 9th-12th. Maybe the field was stronger in the Texas Open? Hmmm

All I know is I can't make a ball when I am TRYING to make a ball.

Watch Joe Tucker's 3rd eye stroke trainer videos on youtube.

They don't play many of the big tournaments but I am surprised there isn't more talk about Lazaro and Gabriel Martinez. Gabriel beat Lee Van Corteza 9-6 in the first round of the Texas Open last night. They are both in the 740s as teenagers.

So he played a bit below 700 speed? Seems like a good showing for him if he was a true 650 when he started.
