    Sportsmanship

    Here are some good comments for the following situations: 1) You 'upset' a good player in a tournament and he starts talking rudely about how much he would play you for in a cash game. Reply with "well you know I would, but, you see, I'm still in the tournament." 2) Like in the original...

    Well sure they can - but my personal vote is for no moderation or controls.

    State of the AzB forums

    Personally, I object to any moderation or control in a website forum. It's the best example of free speech anywhere in the world and I think it should be left just as it is. Let the forum police itself by allowing the readers to choose which posts to lend credence to and which to ignore -...

    Mosconi's 526 record...Who could break it???

    Hitler loved dogs, but I'll wager that even his best friends remember him as something of a jerk. I didn't see anything wrong with Grady's post. True he's no saint, but you hear so much sugar-coating about some of these legends it's refreshing once in a while to hear something approaching the...

    First comp --- any advice??

    My advice is twofold - 1. Eat a bannana about 1/2 hour before competition - nothing like potassium to steady you. 2. Remember that your opponent will oftentimes be just as nervous (if not more) than you, especially if you are playing well and keep him under pressure)

    Straight Pool anyone?

    I have seen the UPA contract, and I heartily object to every single line in it. The only thing I agree with is that the organizers may use the likeness (i.e. pictures) of players in advertising and promotion. However, I also heartily object to any contracts which forbid me to play in any...

    Wondering Why Corey Deuel, Mika, etc. Play so Good?

    This is so funny - to say that Steve Davis doesn't have a power stroke is like saying Michael Jordan can't dunk. I watched the guy play for 10 years and I've never seen a better stroke - the only difference is that he didn't use the big power shots as often as guys like White, Ebdon and...

    Best pool player in the world???

    There's little doubt that Efren is the best pool player in the world. - He's one major titles in nine ball, one pocket and straight pool. - He'll give every other one pocket player in the world at least 2 balls, and most can get 3. - He'll give every other nine ball player in the world at...
