That is very funny KoolKat! you made me lol. I actually never wear a top that shows my cleavage when I bend over but there is nothing I can do about knowing that people are looking at my rear except block it out! I love to play pool so much that sometimes I wish we were all the same and there is...

I can so relate to this. Only in regards to meeting a guy for whatever reason, being honest at the get go, and it seems like it all goes in one ear and out the other while he is busy thinking whatever he is thinking, or maybe its just that people aren't good listeners? I know I have to work at...

So Fats, I can relate with my Metallica story above. Concentration and focus is something I have to practice. I get distracted mostly by 'things people say' that I hear on the side, therefore, loud music that puts me in the zone can help me with that. One time in league play I had a break and...

Meezer girl, I couldn't agree more. You said, I want the music to be "white noise" so I can ignore everyone and everything going on around me. One time I was playing APA, I was a 3 at the time, playing a guy who was a 6, (7, I believe is the highest) and I beat him down and dirty two games to...

Thanks for the info from everyone, some great advice. I actually lived in the Denver area for 24 years before moving to Pueblo a year and a half ago. It sounds like a very interesting and fun game, can't wait to try it out! I really like strategy and something challenging to improve my game. I...

No takers? Come on, I know its running racks and consecutive balls run, but how is it played? Do you run all the balls out or leave one on the table to start another run (I heard someone say this once). I think you run them all out and break a fresh rack but you have to make at least one on the...

Could someone fill me in on what exactly is 'straight pool' and what is 14.1? I guess I'm not up with a lot of stuff in the billiards world but willing to learn.:embarrassed2:

I've been reading threads for a couple of hours so I guess I better jump in on this one.

Thanks for replying to my post. I agree that the skill potential is the same. A few weeks ago there was a 12 year old boy winning several grown ups in our Saturday afternoon tournament. I don't know how he did overall, and I heard that he was the Jr National Champion. I think it goes to natural...

From the time I played in my first league til now, I have seen that in some way, men and women are considered different in the world of pool. What I am saying is, according to my experience in playing leagues and tournaments and even pool being played on ESPN, when the average skill of a man is...

I agree on your point about playing the best players and elevating your own game, heck why not humble yourself and learn something? But of course there is that stigma of the pool ego and it is everywhere. There is always one or two or more players who always take the money home anywhere there...

Sounds like you had a great time! Playing in a local bar tourny like that is always fun, I think, and I've only ran two racks in my life and not in a row. I was wondering if there were any signs that some of the other hot players in that tournament didn't appreciate a shark like you being there...

I have never seen nor heard of a woman ranked as a 7 in APA. I see your train of thought though because women start out as 2s and men as 3s, so basically as soon as a woman gets to be a 3 there is no difference.

I have had a problem with that recently and then I remembered that after I line up my object ball where I want it to go, and get that spot on the object ball where the cue ball needs to contact it, I just point at that spot with my cue (line up my cue straight toward that spot) when I'm...

I proudly voted for her and our sport.
