This has been a really pleasant production. The YouTube availability and quality is perfect. I have been watching from everywhere and when at home on AppleTV via YouTube. Lots of fun. If the legitimacy of the money concerns you, I say Lenny gets the benefit of all doubts until proven...

Chris is really good. I'm adding him to my list of guys who make streams better. Rare at this point in our evolution. Chicago guys talk well. Tom Karabotsos calls straight pool better than average.

Plenty of room in the giant empty arena of Pro Pool for almost anyone. This interview was funny. I got this on my Twitter feed from a non pool playing Chicago journalist...

Very, very nice. I played for 4 years during my undergrad days at U of I in Champaign in the late 90's. Collegiate pool and youth billiards is becoming more and more cool to me as I get a bit older. Keep it up. Keep us posted!!

Love it. I will find a way to make at least a donation. Teach the little guys straight pool!!

Thanks for posting this. Good match. Your productions are smooth and easy to watch...nice work.

Very cool. How does a middle school have 4 tables and who are you? Meaning, are you a teacher there? Great post.

Anyone in the country hosting a weekly tournament can post it here https://vivianmarran.com/. And then they can easily share the tournament with friends via facebook/twitter/whatever Then anyone in the country can search for it...and even reserve a spot. Try it!!!

Try them all out. No shame in sucking at commentary. I'm sure I would. Shame on us though and the producers of streams for giving mediocre commentary a pass more times than not.

Agreed. Billy is in his own league but JJ, Scott F., John Schmidt and Scott Rabon are better than acceptable; near damn good actually. The rest (that I have heard anyway) are not my cup of tea and I really think producers of these streams should avoid them at all "cost". But I do sympathize...

I agree but I was 20 years old in 1997. And everything about pool is golden when you're 20.

Nice to see the cool kids playing some straight pool. One pocket is the ultimate pinnacle of cool pool, of course, but I have to wonder how the landscape might change if straight pool came back into vogue. For the better is my guess. The regular guy/gal could relate to straight pool more...

God bless anyone making money in this game.

If I were a Pro I would use my influence to promote non-league tournaments. It's a higher level of play and a different demographic. These players understand the skill involved at the top level and the value it has. These players probably would pony up the extra $0.50 per entry that might end...
