Dallas is still with us.

Not sure about cops and insurance salesmen. :)

My opinion is that everybody has a vision of what playing good pool looks like for them. they work their ass off to get there and then stay there the rest of their life. Unless they change their vision of how good they *could* play, nothing will change.

Yeah, I forgot about the PoolSleuth persona. Oh yeah, Koop, Hemicudas, Fred Agnir, Rackemsucker, Timberly, are the ones I saw off the top of my head. Many, many others as well.

I just went back in time and it looks like all the drama has been cleaned up. I don't remember much.

Is this going to involve Drivermaker?

I'm sorry for your loss. I lived in Wichita from 1997-1999 and he looks familiar but I can't be sure.

Heck, I hate the usual innings in baseball. :)

I remember a friend backed a guy when we were first playing pool. The guy obviously dumped him. It was really ugly. It was for $20. My friend just told him, "Hey, that was a bargain, I got to see your character for only $20. A lot of people value their integrity more than that."

Missing the 8-ball is even worse in 9-ball. :D

Exactly what I was going to post.

Once I beat a manager of a bar a game of 8b. There were two signs. One said “no last pocket 8-ball.” The other said “no gambling.” So we gamble at 8b. Not too much this was in the 80s. I make the las of my set and go to shoot the 8 ball and he says “last pocket.” Luckily it was bankable...

I don’t even think players should be prohibited to bet on their own matches or against or for their teammates. When I played leagues it was always fun to bet a $20 on your match to make it interesting.

best answer.

I vote for blessing.
