    What, in your opinion, is the minimum Fargo you should have before entering a WNT Open?

    Oh for the days of just turning up at a tourney, paying your money and working out within a couple of shots if you are playing someone really good. Spoiler: not everyone who enters a tournament does it with the intention of making money. A lot do it for the fun/experience. It's a day out...

    Where are all the CF butts?

    Cuetec Cynergy X. Put a How medium tip on a 12.5 and you have a great cue that plays really well. Extensions screw right in. Looks sharp. Wrapless will last you for ever with minimum maintenance. Is it gimmicky? Sure. Do you need a CF butt? Of course not. Just like you don't need turquoise...

    Pool$ vs Poker?

    Pool vs Poker. Over distance the better player always wins. Short term. A bad poker player has a better chance than a bad pool player.

    2026 World Snooker Championship: April 18 - May 04

    If John Higgins and Mark Allen both win then we will witness history. If will be the first time ever that broadcasters pay people to watch the final. Normally it's the other way round.

    2026 World Snooker Championship: April 18 - May 04

    Judd Trump to win it. He's had a great season and this will put the shine on it. Plus, please anyone but Mark Selby or John Higgins. Hopefully they both get knocked out 1st round. I want to enjoy watching the tournament.

    Fraud beware

    Get their phone number. Call them. If they are genuine they won't mind. If they've claimed to be from xxx town. Look that town up. Tell them you've been there. Make something up like 'it was great that it was only a 2 hour drive from Chicago'. If they are 20 hours from Chicago then they'll...

    Ronnie doing Ronnie Things - Highest Break Ever

    As amazing as a 153 is - then guaranteed he's a bit gutted that it wasn't a 155. It was on. Surely he'll be playing in the World Championship year. Looking for the 8th.

    Why do some Chinese players shoot insanely fast?

    Agreed. They aren't playing crazily fast. It's just that some players take way longer than actually needed. Was great that Zhao Xintong won the world snooker championship playing a very fluent, no mucking about game. If he'd have been a grinder you'd now have x million Chinese players trying to...

    Seyberts exorbitant shipping charges?

    Yep - you get to about $70 worth of stuff so that 'laser aiming device - shoot like a pro - guaranteed or your money back' thing at $32 suddenly becomes very tempting...

    Jim Rempe's brainwash position/pattern drill

    Just tried this one with 3 balls (got it 2nd attempt - quickly learned that angles are BAD for this one) then 4 balls (got it 1st time). Now onto 5 balls... will try to get to 15. I like it because it's simple to set up - always slightly different - and quite challenging. You definitely have to...

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    The ref called it a foul - like Ronnie knew she would. Frame was long since won. He just did it for the fun of it. Great stuff.
