social media really exploded after 2005 though. and gambling became less prevalent relative to tournaments. the "monsters" in 2026 are fast improving youngsters, but they're not unknown for long after they make a splash. they may even have an fargorate, that they are outrunning

there aren't many unknown monsters in our time, neither in china nor outside of it. i don't know if the JOY heyball players are allowed to compete in this, if so zheng will be up there along with the ko brothers as favorites. wu jiaqing and myint kyaw will be high up too, but likely not favorites

they've already had lil ko vs big ko in one duya event.. and if chua plays aranas, would you bet on that? savers are inevitable with this big gap in prize money

nah, i play one pocket on a stock GCs and those cavernous apertures (to quote grady) take away banks. perfect for 14.1 though

is liquor sport sponsors allowed in 🇺🇸 ? it is allowed here but is regulated i think if audience is younger than 25. casinos and casino sponsors legal, tobacco sponsoring illegal

would be stupid to attempt jayson's record even on 4.5" pockets. anyone who's watched the record attempts this last decade knows how many things that have to click for a big run to happen even on a stock GC that said, the american 14.1 championship proved when it changed to diamonds that the...

be careful of nosy puritans writing pearl clutching google reviews

holy crap. yea, tough on the non-asians with the short notice

it seemed to me that the 14.1 before the integration with the international had a lot of enthusiast benefactors behind it, and maybe still has, so let's hope it will be held somewhere

are you sure the 14.1 won't be held?
