    2023 China Open 9 Ball (7-10 September), Shanghai. Winner $40K

    Here are my dark horse picks. Oi has been in the mix but not quite for quite a while now. Kazakis has not placed well this year...overdo. The Lion has one more in him. Maybe going home first will be that spark.

    Fedor Mosconi cup

    It's done in Hockey all the time. Some 3rd string Canadian-"Something". Will go play for "Somethings" Olympic Hockey team. Player gets to call himself an Olympian and see the sights. Some of these countries don't even have ice rinks.

    Thorsten has been like that for years. Need to go back and check out YouTube to see when this started.

    I would be curious to see what Kelly would have to say....

    MatchRoom's response to the WPA player sanctions:

    The WPA is like a mob boss that gets offended when you stop handing them envelopes. "What do you do for me?"..."I'm here to assure nothing happens to you"...but what do I get for my money? It's a head tax. Very little value is provided for the funds. There will be a little pain for some but...

    Yapp banned from WPA tournament?

    Once a month he makes sense...like the old joke. A guy gets put in a nursing home by his son. He doesn’t know if he’s going to like it at first, but he decides to give it a shot for his son’s sake. There is a father and son, and the father is getting too old for the son to take care. He needs...

    Absolutely. Every poker player alive should be sending residual checks to the family of the guy who thought up the holecam.

    Am I crazy or do side pockets on 7 ft tables play bigger for scratches than 9 ft?

    Bar Box tables have a short shelf. Yes even Diamonds so yes they will pocket easier. Also if you look at total percentage of rail vs pocket the math will tell you the occurrences will go up.

    Alex 7 yrs old vs Skyler

    With that strut the kid could play Vinnie in the Saturday Night Fever reboot.

    You get what you pay for!

    I would expect no better from anyone who asks for orange cloth. Even if you are Dutch or a Broncos fan.

    Fedor Vs Tony 1 pkt

    Good marketing. Chumming the waters. The PPV and gate would be HUGE.

    A little exercise to test a 'straight-in' short shot with control of the CB

    Yup once you get over 5 you need to nurse the ball back a little each time to keep you in line. The worse is then you hit it good but the ball falls into a cloth divot and you get out of line.

    One Pocket issue that’s really bothering me

    Its effective when balls are in your way and should be done when the situation is right. Generally done on more worn cloth. Easier also on a Diamond or other tables that bank shorter.

    One Pocket issue that’s really bothering me

    Tony Chohan quite often will cross bank the back ball to his hole. It's actually quite safe once you understand how much side spin is required to avoid both middle and back corner pocket. Almost never leaves a return bank unless really shot poorly.

    WWYD to run 3 & out.

    Wait a minute...holding up a simple snap shot vs powering through with a ton of inside 9 feet to a 3" target zone is a problem? Yeah...no.

    WWYD to run 3 & out.

    Yes and if you don't get back into a very small window your run is OVER...and you might be in a bad spot. I'm sticking the four and then banking the FIVE. With some nice quiet bottom inside I should push away the 11 and have a possible shot on the FIFTEEN. This is by far the most sensible...
