You should already know he doesn't really want to play for the $100.00. He is looking for a small victory in the negation by making you say no, so give it to him. Then continue on with the negation and get him on the table. That is the goal, to make a game that will actually get played. Who...

Unless the guy is a stranger, I already know where the guy is coming from and know his act. If I know the guy I always try to keep the player in his comfort zone with the bet. I would rather play him over and over for less then just a one time score that may even make him mad at me and we never...

Who cares. Ivory is nothing, I mean really nothing. The amount that is in a cue is usually so small it is not even worth much more then a few dollars. It is so easy to work with it should be discounted if you want Ivory instead of say MOP. There are literally thousands of materials from...

I don't really see competing and playing the game over a season if you don't win as being "All for nothing". I would hope you are playing for other reasons then just getting a trophy.

I found this but there is another picture from like the 1920's of a guy wiith a full rack of balls held in his hands out in front of him. He is actually holding them they are not just piled up...

Almost nothing, I have a home table and have for like 60 years. The difference is, you can't own a golf course, but you can play under championship conditions right in your own home for a few thousand dollars and a table will last you a life time. Very cheap sport in the long run.

Really? When I was playing in Europe they all had extensions and weights that screwed in . Some cues were like 4 pieces screwed together...

Unless name is important to you, the truth is they all build good cues. In the SP class you could get one from a guy in your own home town no one has ever heard of and have a great cue.

I lean toward Dave as well on picture 2.

If you are talking about SP type joint then it is probably yes. McDermott actually stopped making them when I was a McDermott dealer because they were tired of replacing cues due to splitting.

I love what he says at the end of the video when he gets in trouble. He comments that the run is over because he would not have shot the bank in a real match, he would play safe. I hear people talking about runs they have in practice but if you are shooting low percentage shots just to keep the...

I don't think that is Allen Hopkins

Danny DiLiberto had a prop where he would give you a big spot and he got the break with the stipulation he could break from anywhere on the table. He would set the cue ball from about a foot from the rack and make the corner ball like 8 out of 10 times usually running out. Hay, it is Danny...

You can play almost any game playing "Captain". The problem is though, when the best player is his own partner he has a big advantage. Pill pool games are a lot of fun. You can even invent your own.

It depends on how they play. I played in a tournaments in Europe with like 300 players and we played single down to 32. Then there was a redraw and a new tournament started double. In other words the single was sort of an qualifier or making the cut as someone else said for the main tournament...

I was going to ask the same thing. I know and knew so many people but can't always recognize a name but know the face.

Mike Massey does this type of trick. Without knowing how it is done I assume it is an old trick with some added flair on the pool table.

Is this is main business interest? I has told he spends most of the year working on it for the few days when he makes his money. I had a neighbor who sold commercial Realestate. He made big bucks when he closed a deal but could go months without a sale. He told me it was tough to manage your...

Probably yes, what is more low class then discussion the money you make.

There is certainly experts on here, but when I was at the shop a few times. It seemed like he had a few guys working for him. In other words, not every cue had his fingerprints on it even when he was alive.
