I am considering coming out to the US i September, starting in NY, and this looks to be a good place to start. I am not of the requisite level to play but would definitely look to be playing in lower level tournies across the country. Is this a good introduction to the scene that side?

Turning Stone.. worth a look? I was checking out the upcoming tournaments and saw this. Obviously a tournament with pedigree, would you recommend this to come and watch? is perfect timing and would start me on one of the coasts to set me up for a jaunt across... flights are reasonable too..

oh how plans can change... well well, it would appear my first little outing to North America (Canada) may now not be going ahead, and I find myself with one month off work beginning in 27 days.... ...any suggestions?, was considering maybe doing a coast to coast drive over a few weeks... I am...

hello again house buddy, thanks for stopping in; alas May and June have gone for us too :P hehe, yes I am indeed talking about next year, is probably a bit far off to be talking about it, so I apologise to anyone who thinks it irrelevant. I do intend to soak up as much local knowledge as...

well hi again all from the briefly sunny side of the pond, I hope this all finds you well... just a 'brief' update the prolem with making plans would seem to be their ease of change... so I am currently deciding between the following courses of action; (due to one of my best friends who lives...

I just posted this in another thread, but thought I would throw it open to everyone. with the ongoing discussions and differing opinions between issues like seeding, and cash game/tournament play, I was wondering if it is possible to combine the 2 (in a way that would allow seeding as well as a...

Ted, thank you for your gracious offer, anything that helps point me in the right direction I would be most grateful, and colorado is a definite on my list, so you certainly have me bothering you at some point :) I really want to get involved in tournaments, as I enjoy testing myself. I dont...

what about any of our boys from the UK? we have quite the contingent, who would you rate over a long race?

there are bad spots all over the world, and the places I have visited I have not had even one problem (again touch wood) I am not so naive to think that it is all going to be plain sailing, but there is a lot of beauty in the world but north america is first on my list, and there is a great...

Joey, that is one of the discussions I am having at the moment, one of my friends is planning on coming out to join me at the tail end of next summer (september/October time) think we will invest in a second hand car of some sort (and with our plans possibly encapsulating central and south...

ah Gerogia Boy a fellow ex-sussex resident. congratulations on making the break haha.. important question though.. East or West? haha, it matters not buddy. and I shall no doubt bother you on my jaunt through Atlanta, if only to bend your ear about local fare and sights :) Double d, howdy...

Mr Figueroa, thank you for your suggestions, there is so very much I need to learn but am looking forward to finding it all.. and this trip which initially was going to be a 4--5 month trip.. is expanding all the time. thank you again, it is much appreciated. such friendly people here :)

howdy all, just a brief update, looking good to go ahead in april time, making some contacts, and getting an idea of which part of the country I would like to be in and when, May June time I have been told the west coast would be a good place to begin, although is such a huge place it could be...

similar story to flying cue balls, still gives me nightmares... a friend and I were playing on an english 8-ball table and he decided to try out his happy gilmore style break... suffice to say I stand in what I assume to be a safe position... as it turns out assumption sucks.. he has slammed...

just for fun.... First of all, I am with you on this issue, anytime in a tournament or whenever there is 'something' on a game, if anyone wants to practice/train then absolutely not.. however some friends and I have played a few racks of "Baseketball rules" (if you haven't seen the film I...

Good way to look at it man, and best of luck with your rise through the ranks.

Hey bud, hope things are good, I am visiting form England for a few weeks in September. will be going through Ottawa on way to and back from Toronto if you are up for a game or 2? Im not well off enough for the money thing just yet, and tbh it would be cool to get a few tips from locals as I...

Hi all, hope the world is treating you all well. I should start by saying thank you, I feel like I have learnt quite an amount from just reading various threads on here, and is good an amateur has somewhere to go for a constant knowledge base. I am obviously not expecting people to post...
