I have always felt a pro am tournament could be played. With pros going to 9 and amateurs to 7. I held 6 or 7 of these with the best players from the region plus 2 to 4 pros like SVB, Mika, Hatch and Billy Thorpe. We had several upsets where a advanced amateur won the set.

Correct. And all the US events they took over, the local bracket fillers are not going to play versus these world class fields.

I am sure this is due to the reality that... There are now too many events for even the top sponsored players to attend. That no matter how many events they have, the best players take the lion's share. The entry fees have gone up and worldwide quality entrants increased to the point that all...

As a room owner, to get a bunch of filth out, I'd soak a table with Simonis. Scrub it with a spray foam cleaner. If you wet only one area it leave a ring where it meets the dry area. I'd vacuum off all the water I could. Sometimes put a fan on it to dry quicker. The cloth would dry a but...

I had a guy doing the upside down chalk thing at my pool hall. He admitted he does it to F with people, mostly opponents. I told him it was Fing with me and as a room owner who has to keep table clean, he needed to stop or he'd be banned. Never happened again.

Inevitable the forearm and one or all of the shafts will be warped. That should be considered. It is worth whatever the market will bear. 2k is a good price to start. I dont think an estate sale gets you the buyers, unless cue collectors can find it and bid live. Needs a refinish. The...

Run your mouth internet hero. I'm being punished with a house on the lake and about to retire at 60 with 2 pensions.....so bite me biatch.

You are a pillar of society....that would be laying on the ground if you spoke to me like you write. A real internet tough guy.

Sometimes I let shit slide....sometimes not. I met my wife at age 21. She told me a guy she knew owed her money. I asked nicely for it. When he didn't pay, I got it from him by repossessing a few items from his house. I went back and I asked him to pay again....he kinda laughed in my face. I...

It's a respect thing, plus even if Ernesto had won Oscar has the better odds in the next rounds.

S+P up 75% in 5 years.. 27% in last 12 months. My only regret is I only have so much invested.....

Guy asked, "What is happening to the pool culture these days?" Answer: People are soft. Meaning that those that are taken advantage of are partly to blame for allowing the mistreatment.

People are soft.... And There are no unwilling victims

We had a situation in Oneida NY a long time ago. The room owner Justin fancied himself a pool player and much as he fancied himself a poker player. We had a 10 ball break and run pot that was up to 8k. We were selling a lot of tickets weekly, at least 600 to 800. He had blown the money on...

Johnny Archer posts his "apology". In my opinion there are other ways to make money than screwing over friends who are good and honest people. His family's need is no excuse. He ruined his own legacy to many who previously held him in high regard. "A lot has been said over the past few years...
