    Glad everything worked out for you. Count your lucky stars it was returned to you in perfect condition.

    Another USPS horror story

    I agree with your point about USPS not paying more than market value. However, USPS does not always pay market value for claims. See my previous post. In my case, USPS only paid me $35 for an item they lost, even though it sold for $50. It was still only a $15 hit but I feel for the people who...

    Another USPS horror story

    I have had only one issue with USPS during my time selling stuff online. I sold a fairly expensive router on eBay for $50 and insured it for the same amount. The item was lost during delivery. The tracking information showed that it was received and in transit but after going to the post office...

    funny story about bar pool

    It sounds like your friend has found something special in that girl. I wish my girlfriend understood my love for the game instead of thinking I was going out to the pool hall to hit on women and get drunk. :(

    For custom cue owners.

    Pechauer for sure. I had a couple of Pechauer cues before I bought my Daytons and they hit great combined with a Predator 314 shaft.

    Hangelar Open - August 26-28, 2016

    I apologize if this has already been posted but I did not see anything in the Live Stream Area on the first page. Here is a link to details about the event. Johnny Archer is playing Ralf Eckert in 9-ball right now. I saw that Johnny had shared the live stream link on his Facebook page...

    Thoughts about an amateur Mosconi Cup (North America VS Europe)?

    IMO it would be virtually impossible to hold an amateur MC for players over 18. Like Gorramjayne said it is far too difficult to tell the difference between a pro and amateur nowadays. My definition of a pro pool player may be different that another person's definition. I consider the title of...

    Filtering music in background during live stream

    I think you're missing the point of my post. I never asked how to steal music. The streamer I am referring to has no intention of committing any copyright infringement. His videos are catered to the pool crowd and the viewers do not watch the stream to listen to background music. It was only...

    How often & how long do you play?

    I'm lucky if I get to play once a month between working and taking care of my infant son. If I do get a chance I play in a local doubles snooker tournament held every Saturday. I like to get there at least one hour (preferably two hours) early to get plenty of practice in and if I get knocked...

    Name engraved on cue?

    I respectfully disagree. I see nothing wrong with wearing a pool shirt while playing pool to express your love of the game. If you wore pool shirts outside of a pool room, most people would not know what your shirt meant. I consider myself a low B player and I have some basic Hustlin' USA and...

    These pockets may be too tight for 9b

    I have never played on a Chinese 8 ball table but if it is anything like playing pool on a 10 foot snooker table, then yes I'm sure it is harder than playing on a tight Diamond 9 footer. IIRC most of the Chinese 8 ball tables are 9 feet. Like someone else said earlier in the thread, on a table...

    TV Chalky Sticks

    First time hearing about Chalky Sticks. I just downloaded the app. Seems like a neat idea.

    Filtering music in background during live stream

    I agree that it is a pain to jump through hoops to have to post pool videos. If you asked the room owner to turn off or lower the volume on the jukebox just to accommodate the streamer, he/she would laugh at you, at least in my experience. Some rooms may not have the same issue because the area...

    Filtering music in background during live stream

    A local streamer had the audio removed from his streamed videos after they finished recording to Facebook and YouTube due to copyright claims from songs playing through the bar's jukebox and now he is having to mute the audio completely to avoid copyright infringement issues. The streamer's main...

    Just thinking this might be a great idea!!

    Good idea! I'm one of those people who like to follow tournaments with the bracket and live scoring instead of relying on a live stream commentator to guess on the tournament progress.

    8 Ball Rules Question

    Hey I think I can even make at least one of those! :D

    Here's a scenario ; Unsportsmanlike or not?

    If I was the OP I would have removed the rack from the table after breaking. However I do not think it was the opponent's responsibility to remove it. If the opponent asked if he could remove the rack without approaching the table, that is more acceptable than doing so despite opposition by the...

    Here's a scenario ; Unsportsmanlike or not?

    I guess I am sort of OCD about chalk. I will group cubes together, except for the one I am using, turn cubes to chalk side up, throw away pieces that are hollowed out and if I am shooting a shot I have to remain focused on, I will move any pieces that are in my line of sight so that I do not get...
