One aspect I don't think anyone has touched on is that back in the day American pro pool players were the ruling class. It was our niche per se. Now the rest of the world now plays and has surpassed overall the US in the game of professional pool. Not to many Americans can compete at the top...

Back in 1990-91, Archie from time to time would stop late at night in Mary Kenniston's pool room Cutopia (Swenson & Twain) and gamble. I've never seen him play pool, just sit at counter and occasionally flip a coin for 1500 a pop (who he was flipping with, I do not know).

In the finals of a tournament, I do not see usefulness of a shot clock. Though, I see the need for one during match play leading up to the finals. It bothers me watching a finals match for a lot of money and a player is trying to figure out a shot / pattern etc and this annoying beep beep...

Wonderful finals. Congrats to Gorst and Filler. I just don't get the beeping in the finals of a tournament.

Also: I have powdered water, but I don't know what to add.

All that and no joint caps? :p

Negated by alternet break?

Thank you Stu for posting. Really appreciate the information. Filler really crushed it this event.

My diabetes got the best of me after :)

Nothing to lose.

Sports books and fanduel is popping up in every state and advertised on radio, tv and online. Taxable by the Gov. Gambling between pool players is not taxed. It used to be shady in the way of beatdowns if someone couldn't pay. Now, it doesn't matter. Gamble away. Only the pool room owner...

I would have never, ever, seen this advertisement, yet even read it, if you hadn't posted it. To me it's just cheap cues for sale. That's it.

Congratulations Mr. Van Boening! Well earned.

As yourself and many have mentioned 4.25" is a good size pocket. I like Diamond tables but, my favorite is the Gold Crown III. Your thoughts on Matchroom is really good, considering you've watched many matches at many events over the years. It is good Professional Pool has a base to work from...

Buy an expensive cue. Make sure it looks good with points, ivory joint, etc. and buy a nice case as well. Reason being, you'll look like a real experienced pool player. Now you may not be. However, you'll be forced to get busy and play many hours and learn many, many lessons just to match...

They really should have done the segment with Emily of MatchRoom Sports. She smiled the whole time, 100% positive about the direction that pocket billiards was going in and gave some needed excitement to pool. Maybe sprinkled in the success of Snooker players or European pocket billiards and...

The world is now more involved in professional pocket billiards since 2005. On a larger scale than the US. The equipment i.e. cloth, rails pocket, cues, tips and carbon fiber shafts have changed. Most players today are in very well fitness physical condition. Sigel, Mizerak, Strickland...

You guys sure that's not Blake Shelton?

As it should be.

Stay Strapped. Use a rental car with insurance (its going to get broken into). Used Needles are everywhere. Throw away your shoes for there is shit all along the sidewalks. You can steal from most places without the police being called, but keep it under $900. Pro Tip: Go to the nearest...
