Good Riddance I am very happy to see Fast Larry gone. Even though it is possible to learn something from him . . . and I have . . . I just don't want to spend my life sifting through a ton of rubble to find a dime. Snoozy

How much english do you use? None? Running? One tip? . . . and do you vary the english as an adjustment? Snoozy

If the tournament were not there then the room would be making table time from the tables. I doubt if food and beverages will make up for that. With a tourney, theyre not getting table time. I think it's entirely possible that a tournament is a money losing event for a room. Especially...

Good idea, but first market this to casinos/cardrooms where they run poker tournaments. Pool is like a red headed stepchild compared to poker. There's just no extra money anywhere near a poolroom and pool isn't going to get it's allowance this week once again. Snoozy

Can you see the irony in this? A guy works hard for years to improve his game, only to end up being denied entry into a tournament he might have a chance to win, but never getting good enough to win a tournament composed of pro players. Snoozy

Not everything is sharking . . . Some of the things u mention are sharking. Others are just life. In every competitive event, even in a chess game, people use psychological tactics. Imagine a poker game without some woofing going on. Strengthen your inner self to overcome these little...

You are a pool junkie if someone offers you the Orange Crush in a race to 7 for 5 jellybeans and you know what they are talking about. . . . your buddy says "Look at that nice butt." and you actually look at her pool cue for a second. Then you say, "Ooops, I thought you meant her cue." and...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that there is a cure for choking. 1. Simplify and perfect your stroke. Think in terms of using the fewest number of muscles. The more complicated your stroke and the more muscles you need to use the easier it is for the stroke to break down under...

On new soft non-layered tips, assemble the cue . . . place the butt on the floor . . . and take a pool ball and tap the tip vigorously downward about a hundred times. Then take your tip trimmer and trim off the mushroomed part. Burnish it and it's ready for play. . . and now it will tend to...

Ukiah. Shoulda added. Another thing about pocket speed is that it is not too slow, esp. on long shots. Most tables are not really level, and a very slow shot will tend to roll off, so pocket speed is fast enough to overcome small deviations in the table, yet slow enough to develop full roll...

One key part of pocket speed is that the ob is fully rolling, never sliding. Of course this means that the shorter the shot the softer you must hit. A rolling ball has rotational energy. A sliding ball doesn't. When a sliding ball hits the running rail on the way to the pocket it tends to...

I think I'll be here more too. I haven't posted much here but played around on RSB for a while. RSB seems to be under attack and perhaps drowning. Snoozy

The one from http://www.nes-cafe.nl/home.shtml is a fake. If you click on the "9-Balls Break Shot" link on that page under the media try reading the 'comments' where they admit it themselves. Snoozy
