Tough The Predator AB/CD events are pretty tough. The AB's and CD's are grouped together until the semi's and then they play each other. This does not make it any easier for a C, as there are some real bandits at the C+ level who play in these events. Definitely a great achievement to make it...

I'll Be there I will be there from the 8th to 20th. Playing the ACS team events at the Tropicana and then moving up to The Riviera for the Singles and team events. I am as excited as ever and can hardly believe that it is now only 42 days away!

Nice I am slightly biased, but I think it is great that someone is getting off their derrière to do something positive instead of sitting back and saying what is wrong with pool. Productions like this can only help to paint pool in a good light and hopefully bring some much needed mainstream...

My personal choice is that I prefer a Medium Moori. I have tried all the Kamui soft tips and they still seem harder than the Moori. But like I say, it is a personal choice thing.

Nice! They are extremely impressive breaks. Have you made a century before? I have just started playing snooker again after a 6 year absence (basically since i moved to the US) and I am making consistent 40's and 50's, but I tend to make a school boy error just when i look set to make a...

Walk in to your shot in line with your shot. If you adjust when down then get back up and walk in again. I immediately improved my game over night by being disciplined about this. When I see players adjust the angle of the shot when they are down on the shot it gives me hope that they are going...

Thank you to everyone for all of the tips. It is a game I really want to get good at, my banking is generally pretty good, so I do feel like it is a game that I could get to a nice level at if I increase my tactical awareness. I do plan on making it down to the DCC one year, I just want to make...

Any tips on how to hone my one pocket skills? I am currently a rank amateur at one pocket, but i love the game. Sadly, I live in NYC and there are not many people who play here, who would just play for fun. I would currently get "bent over", playing for money at one pocket.

Nice Page Jim. Please can you post the trailer url again? and when will the first episode come out? Yes you did tell me, however that was pre New Years and I have lost a few brain cells since.

Nice move Great move. I hear that the Rio is a pretty good hotel. I will be sad to leave The Riv, CC and most importantly The Peppermill behind. They have all done a great job in making us feel welcome over the years, however it seems likes an exciting move to to The Rio that could persuade...

Good point Neil. I will see if I can find a contact for the event space and see how much putting on an event such as that would cost. If it is not a ridiculous amount, I may float the idea to a few people. You never know. Bfdlad, thank you, I didn't know it had been done before for the UPA.

It would be amazing if one of the pool power houses i.e. APA, BCA, etc. Put on a little invitational tournament at Grand Central. If you just invited say the top 16/32 most entertaining players, played it on 2 or 4 tables over the course of a week it would create a massive amount of buzz at the...

I was chatting with one of my friends the other day about why he thinks there is not much pool on TV and he said that he thinks one of the reasons is that no one cares about the players. The general public often only knows the names The Black Widow and Minnesota Fats. Snooker in England...

When you first start playing, practice simply potting balls. Don't worry about playing position until you feel comfortable that you can consistently make simple pots. Once you feel confident that you can make pots, start playing simple positional shots, i.e. short draw shorts, follow through and...

As a Brit, I have to say that Ronnie is an absolute god when he is in the mood on a snooker table. I saw him play a few times back home and seeing what he could do on a match table was ridiculous. That being said pool is a very different sport. Yes, he would pot balls all day long, however as...

From a personal (selfish) perspective I like the idea of seeding. If I was entering a pro tournament it would give me more of a chance to play against a big fish, which is one of the main reasons I enter higher level tournaments. I recognize that the only thing that will help me raise my game...
