definitely poor form by the spectator, but we've all had to deal with far worse in pool league- there have been so many times I've had to ask people to move because I can't even cue cleanly as they standing in the way

his level of play is amazing- he has a great mind for pool and can execute his plans to near perfection- rare combination.

I grew up in Michigan- the proper term is Michiganian, but Michigander is common informally as well

If you guys want to watch such long matches, that’s fine-it’s just not for me. Anything longer than about a 2 hour match is my limit.

one pocket isn't really meant to be played in a tournament setting for this reason in my opinion- it is really intended for gambling matches. 7 hours is way too long for a tournament match

Earl has some thought provoking ideas, but he has been saying the same thing for years. It isn't really worth watching any new interviews of him because he says the same things over and over- 9 ball is too lucky, straight pool is the best pool game, and pool should be played on huge tables-...

I've shot with a Cynergy for the past five years. Good cue. I previously shot with a R360- both are very good cues. Cuetec has come a long ways

I’ve used the same Magic Rack for 12 years and it still works well. Some are quite durable

I noticed the shaking too- it definitely is amazing how well he shoots with such a tremor

Varner has played in ultimate 8 ball events in the past year. Those matches must count towards his rating

In the Legends of the Cue podcast interview a few months ago, Keith stated he can't really play any more due to an eye condition- I think he has macular degeneration

I know Varner played in some of the recent Ultimate Pool events and performed decently. Still plays well on bar tables at least and I would imagine he still plays well in one pocket matches.

He does play well still, even with his tremor, but it is hard to believe that his Fargo is accurate. I would think his ability level is now more accurately assessed to be in the low 700s

in his Legends of the Cue interview, Billy Incardona said he can't play any more due to physical problems- I think he said his back bothers him too much

true- you should do what you love, but life is complicated- you can have multiple passions- hobbies, jobs, relationships. Difficult to get them all to align at the same time.
