Gregg. My point about my pet peeve was simple, all the players were class acts, even including Johnny Archer but truth be told I did not like the way he grandstands and clears balls out of pockets with one ball left and shoots in a different pocket. That is not my overall point about why pool is...

Actually no one acted up but the damage is done, thats why no one is attending in the first place. I enjoyed myself, the only thing that pissed me off was watching Archer clearing balls out of pockets with 1 ball left on the table and not even shooting in that pocket(just a pet peeve)

I am a high ranked New England area player and decided to go watch the World pool championship at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. They had the top 8 players around the globe (which I can fully appreciate) The casino was packed but the Wolfes Den during the first round was half full and the...

Like I said on a previous post, I would not trust Gary with my sons milk money, Gary this is what happens when you burn so many bridges over the years with people. Your play is good but no better than the rest of us and you should consider getting off you high horse sometime soon.

Amsterdam billiards, great place, I found it by accident when on vacation with my wife to the city, she was tired and I asked for the nearest pool hall and it was just around the corner, it was a fun night of straight pool that I played with stranger I introduced myself to and yes it is home to...

Yes I agree it is 2006 and there are a lot of personalities out their but lets get someone with a full set of teeth. I agree with the fast pace and showing the last important game, but it is just as affective to show classy players opposed to these losers with poor sportsmanship in order to help...

I watched the IPT coverage on OLN network and finally the game of pool gets a good international tournament with REAL prize money and T.V. coverage and what do they do. They interview Mcready after his match and I listened to him make excuses , one of which was he should have had some beers...

Recovery hit the nail on the head That is one of the best ways to describe cutting balls , the biggest mistake people make when cutting is not understanding which part of the cue ball is actually making contact with the object ball. Some unfortunate souls are aiming center cue ball to contact...

Safe on opening break I have played a lot of straight pool , its the first game my father got me playing and I can not recall anyone starting a game with anything other than an opening safe shot. If your playing anyone good your miscalculation could cost you many balls. Its also important...

Credit was never taken away ! For the record I was the one who started the thread, I also know Sue (The woman in question ) and think she is a wonderful person. and if you read some of my responses I hold woman in the highest regard towards the promotion and image of pool. All I was saying was...

Thats more like it If now we are getting confirmation that running these balls was a result of spreading 15 balls on individual racks is true then that pill is easier to swallow, although impressive not nearly as hard to run balls in 14-1. The lesson here is when you say you run balls it is...

There is no lack of respect for the female I bring up this subject not because she is a woman but rather that I have a knowledge of pool and regardless of male or female am just throwing the question out to find everyones thoughts. As a matter of fact I tell everyone in my circles that Fisher...

I was reading an article by the "Monk" inwhich he says his top female student who played a lot in New England area was a 100 ball runner, but most hard to believe was she ran 80 or 90 balls without contacting a rail with the cue ball. I have a high run of 95/80 and countless 40/50s so its not...
