    I did a load of laundry and missed the game...and the US open needs a shot clock.

    Watching MIka, Shane in the worlds, I go do a load of laundry and come back up and its 10-3 Mika, go do another load and come back and its 10-10. I did another load watching the US open with Shane and Kazakis, went downstairs at 1-0, come back up and its 2-0. The US open needs a shot clock...

    Stroke help

    Stop trying to apply back hand english...stop thinking about english entirely....stop thinking about eye patterns...stop aiming. You will figure all of this out with the "sams" method. (Shoot a million shots) Watch the pros...they stop, drop and shoot. That's it. If you are doing any more than...

    Would you call a foul on yourself?

    I find its the opposite.

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    All good points. The reason I don't care about the tournament rules so much, at least the ones that I feel stifle me unnecessarily is because I am doing them a favour by attending the tournament, not the other way around. Certain rules bother me, like I have to wait for my opponent to finish an...

    The amount of money you are playing for shouldn't dictate how you play. Also, I wouldn't gamble with cheats.

    Would you call a foul on yourself?

    There isn't always a ref. It is very poor sportmanship, and shows lacking in character. Winning a game, while getting away with a foul is like cheating on your spouse, or them cheating on you but you don't see it. How would you feel about your marriage if you kept it from them, or find out they...

    It's not the players responsibility to abandon all morals to appease the bettors. Again they should know who they are betting on. If they want a player to play like a sleaze bag, then bet on a sleaze bag.

    Anybody who votes no probably lacks the skill to be able to win without abandoning all sportsmanship.

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    I added some real world examples in my previous post, and a video of Kyron calling a foul on himself. Battlefield? Have you heard of a ceasfire? By your logic winning at all costs would mean you would shoot anyway. It's like when you watch ufc and a fighter goes for the fake high five and slips...

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    If that's the case I would have taken the loss. I would have spoken firstly because I don't care what the tournament rules are when they infringe on my ethics...if I see someone making an honest mistake then I will speak up. Winning is a relative thing...not an absolute. If I knew a player was...

    You sound like someone who has never won anything in their life. Winning without pride is losing. Shane lost.

    Winning at any cost is not truly winning. I see Shane didn't get far in the tournament. Karma.
