If you want a quick one pocket tournament, just play 3 ball one pocket. 3 balls racked in a mini triangle shape. Break however you want. (Most will figure it out) Used to gamble with a buddy of mine this way before he passed away. Very rarely did a game ever go over 5-10 minutes although I can...

Why is banks even in the conversation? It would be cool to have a weekly, but banks would be quicker unless you get 2 people that can’t make a straight in shot, let alone, a bank, playing each other. One pocket, 16 player single elimination is about a days worth of time if you start at...

The whole point of classic one pocket strategy was to protect balls near your hole, and once you have an advantage in ball count, play the score and knock balls OUT OF PLAY. Up to your opponent to create advantages while you take your time, and squeeze as hard as you want. Why punish the player...

Word is, he passed out at the poolroom last night and was rushed to the hospital. Shame. RIP Petey

It’s actually very interesting to watch the effect slow play in one pocket, has on people. Players who would otherwise be on the losing end of it, manage to disrupt their opponent into taking more risks simply because they are annoyed, and making mistakes as a result. I think this is especially...

The only problem with this is the stall. When someone gets up a couple of games, stall and go extra slow so time runs out. Just like those guys do when gambling. Someone says, I can play for a few hours and have to leave at 5pm. Their opponent gets up a few games and then turns into a slug so...

Wedge is a part of the game for old heads. Don’t see the issue. Most of today’s young players don’t bother with a wedge anyway and play around the stack downtable hoping for a mistake so they can run out. It’s rare to see a match really go full wedge. No one has the patience for that. I...

How about you play the game the way it was supposed to be played, and tournaments account for that speed of game and schedule their tournaments accordingly instead of trying every way possible to shorten games/tournament length. If there are enough players, make it 2 or 3 days so everyone can...

They don’t try to adjust Fargo scores based off of one pocket do they? That seems kinda stupid.

Everyone is just so prissy these days. Earl Strickland did more with that fiberglass coated shaft back in the day than 99.9% of pool players could do today. As a matter of fact, Mark Tadd did more with that cuetec graphite coated shaft that was the same color as the butt of the cue than most...

I think Oscar is going to do what is best for the business.

Interesting. Shame Brunswick sold their billiards interests. I always wondered what could have been if Brunswick, the Fortune 500 Company, had decided to take a small allocation of its profits, make a far superior product, and undercut and bankrupt all the competition.

Actually, I watched one shot where he sh*t in an 8ball in the most spectacular fashion. Absolutely hysterical. 😂 One of the greatest sh*ts I’ve ever seen.

Fundamentals held up just fine. 😂 A WIN IS A WIN!

So you didn’t see it so it never happened? 😂 Get a grip. It happened enough at the Derby the one year, whichever diamond dude that standing at the tournament desk was finishing people’s sentences. ”Hey, I just played a match and when I shot a ball in the corner...” ”The ball bounced out of the...

Guess you weren’t sitting there watching balls that got rifled into the corner pockets, occasionally hit the flat-ish bottom of the pocket and fly right back out of the pocket onto or off the table and it being a foul. Good to know. 😂

Am I the only one that remembers playing in the derby 20+ years ago when Diamond unveiled the smart table, and watched balls flying up in the air off the table of any bank shot with some pace and bouncing straight out on angle banks? Groupie apologists can make up any excuse they want. Those...

The shopping center deal was struck in 2016. Bob did not expect to get another 5 years out of the room. He thought he had a year or two at most. The mess that was to be the new pool room is due to ineptitude, cold feet, and cash. None of which includes Bob. Bob wanted to retire. Normally, you...

On the down low Cobra coming out of the closet. Got it! 😂😂😂

Don’t you have some rails to steal or something? 😂
