Ahhhhhh it’s some weirdo game again. If the players posted are indicative of the field they managed to grab, just hand Fedor the money.

No stories of big time match ups from me as these guys prime were before my time (before they all decamped for Florida or elsewhere basically), but I’ve heard of family ring games with Miz and Margo in attendance. What would you give to be in that room? Other guys around the NJ scene (other...

Pool is a short mans game. Niels is lean as hell but you can tell he's ultra fit (plus he posts the occasional work out photo and has a ~$4K road bike in the background in some of his videos).

Ahh man. Pete’s name was spoken with great reverence in the NJ pool rooms I grew up going to. I remember him swinging by Sandcastle years ago showing off his Balabushka. RIP.

Yep - Palmer Video in New Jersey, particularly around the Union County area. The namesake is related to Palmer Cues since, if i recall correctly, Pete went into biz with members of the Balner family. I remember going to the Scotch Plains location to rent movies as a kid. I think they cashed...

I probably should have been more explicit. I really underplayed what "weird vibe" meant. It was a cross country trip to California circa 2003. Someone needed their car moved to the Bay Area from Ohio and I and a few friends agreed to drive it over there for the price of free gas and meals...

Ah man that's awful to hear. Hope he recovers.

I've posted this elsewhere, but I've had very positive experiences with torrefied wood with acoustic guitars. Like incredible sounding Adirondack spruce top wood that you can feel and hear without a doubt. Given that prior experience, I figured I'd give kielwood a shot and ordered up a...

So i can miss on the other side of the pocket

I do remember stopping by an actual pool room called "Pool Hall Junkies" in Salt Lake City years and years ago that was heavily themed on the movie (like posters of Mars, Walken, etc.). Looks like its gone now. I don't remember the room being all that bad, but definitely had a weird vibe, much...

The movie wasn't that bad.

Well deserved! Congrats Neils!!

You sure he’s not alive and creating new threads on AZB?

Break the balls. Ref takes 9 ball from wherever it lands (or from the pocket) and throws it at the table from 5 feet away. Play resumes. Then we can finally be taken seriously as a competitive sport.

I'd like to see Kelly have a go as well.

Man this room owner’s handicap system sucks

It’s been this way for a while now of course, but this really makes me marvel at how international pool is. Great event and some awesome matches. Was rooting hard for Sky.

I don’t think they were blood related, but Pete Margo and the Miz had a family connection. In-laws maybe?

Titan of the cue industry and a good guy at that. RIP Dan. Tim, Bill, and Dan all gone now. Sad day.

Ah man. Rest easy, Jack. You were a great guy.
