I’ll take 11 & 16. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The club I play in has a “No Gambling Aloud” sign but the gamblers seem to be the ones making the most noise. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Playing 1-pocket, “I need one . . . and you need a doctor.“ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the idea of having good cues for guests to play with. I rarely have any adults over that I wouldn’t trust with my better cues. I do have 1-piece Dufferins and a handful of McDermott Luckys and Stars for the kids and less respectful adults to use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you know Bergman? Is it true he hates airplanes? I’ve also heard he is germaphobic. I doubt that is true but I don’t know him personally so, who knows? I do play just outside his home area and occasionally play people who do know him. I’ve never heard anyone who knows him to say he won’t...

Where I play, it is usually $10, $20 or $50 a set. Mostly races to 4,5 or 7 in both 8-ball and 9-ball. Not much 10-ball played but if it is, it’s the same as 8 & 9 ball. The longer the race, the more $. We also play the APA Amateur race to 7, 5 games of 8-ball and 8-games of 9-ball. Usually for...

I’ll bet Lady Savor can tell you exactly how to make it. My wife is planning to make it tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

IMO, Byrne is the best, to learn the basic physics surrounding pool. His books are, without a doubt, where I learned the “secrets” of pool. Capelle, Wilson and others offer great information, if you already understand what the Byrne books teach. I also think books like “The Inner Game of...

O’Brian’s has two 9ft Diamonds and have had for many years. Ownership has changed several times over the last 10 years and the tables aren’t in as good of condition as in the past but they still host a couple of tournaments a week and multiple leagues play there. You can get on one of the 9fts...
