    The inaugural Texas Pool and Billiards Hall of Fame

    That about sums it up. I would add that Gilbert essentially quit playing pool a little over 20 years ago, around the time he went to work for Omega Billiards. He deals with untold numbers of pool playing customers every day at Omega and very few of them have any clue the caliber of player they...

    Mohammed Soufi is like a Chezka Centeno with gonads.

    You could be right. His regular demeanor and confidence seemed to come back a few games back and it usually comes with beast mode play.

    It's been going for 3.75 hours already today and they are on the second match of the day now (Mario He vs FSR, current score is 8-6). After this match ends there will be a break and then the "evening" session starts again in about 2.75 hours at 12:30pm EST.

    He's all out of sorts this match, worst I have ever seen him play by far. Not sure I even remember him playing what I would call a bad match in the last 1.5 years. Since this is the first time you have seen him it would definitely be worth finding and watching one of his previous matches from...

    So is he still making cues or what's the status you found out?

    Pool table recommendation?

    In post #29 he said he will see if the guy still has any left (he had a couple of each) if anybody is interested. OP is in Colorado so presumably they are in that general area.

    Pool table recommendation?

    I'm not perfectly up to date on table prices but good condition Pro-Am's for $2000 and GC III's for $1200 both sound like steals to me.

    Thanks for following up here when you saw him post this update. Sounds like he is progressing fairly well considering. Glad to hear.

    I don't recall not being respectful unless respect wasn't due so not sure why you would say that. I did recently call out a racist for being a racist, and I could see were that would offend other racists. Is that what got you offended as being "not respectful" because I can't think of anything...

    I don't recall SVB or Orcullo ever being speed demons. I either didn't see or don't recall Sky's recent play at Turning Stone so I can't say if your assessment of his speed is accurate or not, but even if he was playing fast so what, all you did was point out a case of where a guy played well...

    What the heck does that mean? And if it means anything, which I kind of doubt, what does it have to do with anything I said? The only people that take somebody's skin color into consideration are racists. You clearly are a racist, and a huge one at that. You got that right. I hate racists...

    99% of the racism today, in law, policy, and culture, is against white people, and it is absolutely rampant, and your biggest worry is about something that happened 58 years ago to a dead guy? But regardless of what colors have been most affected when, we should all agree that ending ALL the...

    You have it backwards in my opinion. Deep shelves (and/or the wrong pocket angles) reject too many malls that have been "made" and should fall. Once the majority of a ball is past the pocket points it should fall 97% of the time, but deep shelves result in rejecting good shots. The pocket...

    SVB isn't in the fast player group. Conversely, he is a careful, deliberate player. Your claim that Sky plays better fast is so obviously not true I don't see how you can say it with a straight face. If you have paid any attention you certainly can't believe it, but maybe you just don't pay...

    2023 World Pool Championship, Kielce, Poland

    Interestingly you can see some of the trend between slow play and the best play when looking at that chart. In the fifth division down, the one with 913 players in it, the pros and master players are mostly grouped near the top. And just below that, where they have the divisions based on...

    Do you know if he is back home yet? Have the cobwebs more or less cleared up or is that still a work in progress? Etc?

    Here is an article that goes into detail about why and how he switched from right handed to left handed in pool for those interested. http://www.billiardsdigest.com/new_current_issue/aug_22/bb_index.php
