Backgammon is cool, but it’s frustrating because like poker you can out play someone and lose. It’s a great gambling game, social, lots of good things but playing good isn’t always rewarded. It’s like 1P looks, simple enough, but it’s very deep. Learning to move the checker and when to give...

I threw the towel far as I could. GG I play backgammon now-window is open🤩

Also he came out punchy and flat footed. It happens. A bad match doesn’t define a 20 year career for anyone. Ever. As I mentioned before SVB whacked Alex 40-20 for ~77K in the middle 15-16 years ago. Alex didn’t lay down and die. Nobody has a career like SVB and quits because of a bad...

Fat dogs don’t hunt Same concept idea As for SVB/yes he’s comfortable but he loves to win. Idk his future plans are. When I do know I still can’t and would not make his biz public. It’s a guess, and only a guess but I think he’s not going to go out like this. He’ll take another shot at a...

I think it’s still fair to say that Efren was the best at finding shots that nobody else could find. As far as execution goes I think the guys at the top now are strong as or stronger than in the past.

I’ll ask him, I agree

SVB had a bad weekend, it happens. Making a big deal about one bad match isn’t a career defining situation. I watched SVB beat Alex 40-20 in Cue Club 15-16 years ago. Alex had an off night-same thing here. They played again and again and again. Do they play again? I’m not sure. I’m certain...

That was GLH good looking hair. Was spray color, funny as hell. A guy I play backgammon with in Beverly Hills knew Ron, I always wanted to meet him. About 3-4 years ago I missed him at lunch by a hour, he died a few months later. I never met Ron. While some of his products were bullshit, he...

Appreciate all you do with the stats! Fatboy Approved

As a rail bird I prefer races to 11. I’ve seen guys lock horns and play 2-3 full days of races to 11. However for what ever reason the players like these long form marathon races, so I can’t argue with them. It’s their game/action. Hope SVB makes a horse race out of it, he knows what he’s...

West Valley Boys Club 😉😉😉😉 What they don’t know…./.🤩👍💪

Ensure seems nice, good vibes. I saw him one night about 8-9 years ago in Vegas playing JRB $30K/rack 1P, I was playing Alex Pags backgammon for $200/point. So I didn’t give much attention to the pool game. I left at 4-5am and they were still playing 1P. Not sure how that ended up, I lost...

I didn’t see it this year, I have seen him play 2-7 and he’s amazing. He’s super gifted at most things it seems, I’ve seen him in the pool room, but I don’t know him. Very happy for his successes, hopefully he’ll do some pool commentary again someday. Best Fatboy 🤩

Always like to see the pool players snap off the poker tourneys. 🤩💪 Fun stuff

A proper case, cue and a orange 5. The trifecta came in🧡🧡🧡

Wow I didn’t know that. Very cool. 🤩🤩

I met Grady in 92 at Cuetopia in Vegas, he was in town for a few weeks. Got to know him then. We got along good, nice talks. I never played him. He had the one pocket tourney at the Reno Hilton in Jan 93 which Ed Kelly beat Cornbread in the finals. If any pool match I’ve ever seen could be...

We had unified ball colors up til about 25 years ago-best I can recall. Sure there were other ideas but 95% of ball sets were the same colors. And the “TV” excuse was just bullshit to change colors and sell more balls, now with 4K cameras who needs “TV” balls. If someone is that blind, why...

It’s going to be a while, couple months I’d guess. I’ll take pics of the pins and show you.

This is the thread of the year👍👍💪💪
