    Lil John gets barbecued in Louisville KY

    That may be true, but never without identifying them by name and giving context regarding who they are. The initial post was as cryptic and uninformative as could be. Thankfully, a few have come forth and attempted to identify the players, provide the name of the game they played, offer the...

    Lil John gets barbecued in Louisville KY

    Of course. A thread was started about a still unidentified player beating a regional action player known to a few in a game not identified in a place not identified. That's great information. More threads like this one please!

    Ah, now that the game and location are known, it helps. JJ is Jeremy Jones. Who is JT? As it seems nobody knows, he is in the conversation for most under the radar action player in America.

    Lil John gets barbecued in Louisville KY

    Has he ever been mentioned on this forum before? How many pool players ever were identifiable by their initials alone? ,,, and what game these two players played remains a mystery. We have an early leader for worst thread of 2026.

    Yes, DeMarco is well known in Derby City circles, with several top ten finishes. Pretty sure he beat Fedor Gorst this year at one pocket.

    Fantastic news. As already noted, the Predator Pro series is a hit!

    Yes, but how could anyone be expected to figure that out? Calling someone a Martian in most parts would denote an alien appearance or mode of behavior (and would therefore be derogatory), not an alien skill set. What Americans call an eraser (meaning a pencil eraser) the English call a rubber...

    In this thread, the Predator St Louis event has been almost uniformly praised. As for the stream, the camera angles on the stream were far from ideal and most of the commentary was second rate. Regardless, this was a fine event, with deep internationally diverse fields, and even if watched...

    Yeah, Eric has the right foundation to be a good commentator. He is a very solid player (perhaps Fargo 740s) and is also known as a very capable instructor, especially in the area of stroke fundamentals. As I have interacted with him on numerous occasions, I can add that he's a nice guy, too...

    Ditto. Pool nicknames are, with few exceptions, completely unnecessary, and are rarely descriptive of the player. Yes, calling Elliot Sanderson "The Shouter" works, as he always shouts after a big win. Calling Jose Parica "the leader of the invasion" made perfect sense, as he was the first...

    Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think Emily is a very lovely lady.
