Knowing Jason and having taken him for granted in the past, all I can say is take him for granted at your peril. His top speed is pretty scary. It is true that he may not hit it as much as he used to, but the guy can certainly play. That being said the Open even is the right level for him at...

We are still going to do the BCAPL next year, but I must say you will love the ACS tournament. If they played it on Diamonds it would be perfect. The Tropicana is a great Hotel now. Much nicer than either the Riviera or the Rio for that matter. As a side note about the Rio, it is not advisable...

League I thought you had to play in BCA league to even be considered for the Open division? Having these guys play as open players seems a little wacky to me, as it obviously leaves it wide open for players from throughout the world to rob the tournament and penalizes good players who have been...

Discuss Speak to the main streamers first and find out what would make economic sense for them to use you exclusively. Then speak to a couple of sponsors to determine their interest and what they would be willing to pay to be associated. To begin with, just do short term sponsorship deals. If...

I think the second ref did the right thing by watching the match and saying that if they did it again when she was watching, she would deal with it. The first ref seemed not to care. They stopped after one extremely tough looking guy on our team told them it was not cool. :) I don't always...

So during a tournament in Vegas this week there was what I perceive to e be a weird ruling/ reaction. We are playing the team event and 3 times in a row on the black the opposition player gets up and walks away as our team member was shooting. I asked the ref if the other team does that whether...

Sounds Good Welcome to New York. I barely gamble, but I would be up for some cheap sets. I play as an A on the Tri State as well. Amsterdam and Society are my favorite pool rooms to play at. Off to Vegas on Tuesday, but when I get back in a couple of weeks I will be cool to play some sets. Trevor

Snooker in Asia To add to Celtics post, they have just announced another large tournament. This one will be called the international open and be held in China. There will be 150k pounds to the winner. Although snooker has always been big in Europe it is starting to get some real commercial...

Pay link I am just using the pay link, as it is only $6 a month and it is a quality link. Liveworldsnooker.tv

Thank you Thank you for all of the tips. I spent 4 hours before the party sat with my iPad watching and attempting to mimic the shots. I had about 5 in my arsenal and a few fancy kick and multiple ball making shots of my own to act as fillers. One of my friends who has done this before also...

Thank you for these suggestions, I really appreciate it. If I survive Saturday I will let you know how it goes.

Ha ha. That kid can cue. I think I will stick to some simple set up shots. They are pretty loathsome, but should hopefully prevent me from looking like a complete chimp. Trevor

Thank you, i really appreciate it. I have found a few to try out and that I could potentially set up so that the kids can do them. I am slightly panicky about it, but I am sure it will be fine.

Does anyone know of half a dozen easy trick shots i.e. ones I could pick up within a few hours and show to a bunch of kids? I have agreed to help out (be the house pro) at a party at the weekend and although I am an okay player, I have never done a trick shot in my life. Please help prevent me...

I completely agree with this course of action.

This is my personal preference. If it takes you that long to take a shot then it is surely the humane thing to do.

It was pretty insane. Yes the TD should have been informed. I think his opponent was trying to not shark his opponent as the slow player is recognized as a decent guy. I mentioned it to the TD after the match, as I was unbiased and did to want the whole tournament to be held up by a single...

In a tournament recently, I noticed a player playing ridiculously slowly, at least a couple of minutes for a routine shot. This was consistent during the match. At the end of this 2 and a half hour race to seven (it was probably closer to 3 hours and there were a total of 11 racks played in the...

It is however pretty funny that even though you were being cool about not naming the TD, someone called him out for you! Over $50 it does not sound like it was a good move on his part. Especially knowing that you like to have some colorful bets from time to time.

Luca Brecel Although he got knocked out, I was extremely impressed with Luca Brecel. He has Ronnie like talent with both hands. He plays one left handed shot with a ton of side (English) absolutely perfectly. See his first Crucible century here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD8tQkDlOC8
