Hi guys Hi guys, Tony & I will be in Alton, Illinois (right across the river from St. Louis) from July 8th - July 11th. We are scheduled to run an exhibition at Riverbend Billiards Friday, July 9th, visit Atlantis Pools Saturday morning (tentative) & have another exhibition Sat, July 10th at...

Thank you Tara! I think I hyperventilated through the last shots but that's ok. LOL. I've never talked to myself more in my life!! Looking forward to meeting up again :) John, I too was hoping people would hear a story like this and perhaps be influenced by it's honor. It'd be an upgrade...

Just saw this thread Post First. Thank you for the kind words. Tara is an incredible player. I was very fortunate to have a good day against her. Just wanted to share what kind of class Tara has. I play 9-ball mostly, so in the finals after Tara scratched on the break, I took ball in hand...

Thank you Eric! It was wonderful seeing you so often in Vegas!! Even at the wee hours of the night at B's Challenge match! lol Mikey Frost, very nice of you to say. Thank you. And thanks again everyone for the kind words! :)

Wow, thank you very much Frank for starting this thread! You didn't need to do that!!! :o Thank you everyone for the well wishes and kind words. It was an amazing run that I still can't believe happened to me. I need to say, Tara Williams is an incredible opponent who has oodles of...

Thanks for the info. The thread you copied into here ... you put a diagram with a table and used an equation .... 2 / 2 = 1 diamond of english. How'd you determine that CB placement was 2 and so on?

Hello all! So, I'm giving 3 Cushion Billiards a try today. Have only played the game a few times and when I did, I manipulated the rules so that Tony didn't crush me so I wasn't really playing it properly. Today it'll be an actual game of 3C. Any tips on the game, strategies and kicking...

Oliver Ortmann is my hero for what he did at the Challenge of Champions ... not many would call a foul on themselves knowing full well that it's a $50K test of their integrity. If only pool had more like him! Samm, I like your respond to said D-bag!

I posted a poll up on my site http://gailglazebrook.wordpress.com/ asking this very question and last night at league it was sort of a heated debate .... I understand where the boys are coming from ... why do the girls get a US Open where only women can play, but the boys have to share theirs...

Thanks for the "prop-age" guys however none of this would exist without the creative mind of John Biddle and the supportive backing of Samm Diep ... and of course the writers. It's a positive Synergy we've got going and I hope it continues to see increased support and following. Don't forget...

Liz is one of the most dedicated pool players I know ... she'd be a fantastic representation of the US and I wish her nothing but the best! Go Liz!

I didn't see it but Jen mentioned she was filming with MTV about two months ago so I'm pretty sure it was her! :)

I too found this to be the case and was surprised. I thought for sure the game would be a cat and mouse of safety battles, but at this level of play, it was awesome to watch these players utilize their full range of skill to combat their opponent both mentally and physically. It became a much...

John played a great game this weekend. Very happy for him and he's got some good bragging stories to tell his little granddaughter! Nice guy too! I'm very happy for him!

Thank you Sean for the positive feedback and I'm really happy that you enjoyed yourself so much ... It was a twisted bit of fate that you would draw Tony first but you played like a rockstar and aside from the orange skittles, you were playing at his speed. KUDOS! And thanks for acknowledging...

Thank you for the reply. I hope the BCA continues to search for ways to elevate the game - which does appear to be their goal. I'm not quite sure I understand why a player illegally pocketing a ball initiates the option to refuse a shot but failure to pocket a called ball and leaving an...

Thanks Buddy for the clarification. I hope at some point the BCA considers using the rules we use on the Predator Tour. The rules nearly eliminate all slop/luck in the game of 10-ball and truly allow the elite of the sport to showcase their talent in pocketing, safety and cue-ball control...

Awesome. question: For the US Open 10-Ball, is it both call shot/call safe? And if the player fails to pocket the called ball and snookers his opponent anyway, can the incoming player make the shooter shoot again?

Well, if it's any help, this weekend's Predator Tour 10-ball Open/Pro event was extremely well received by the players. Initial feedback by players and fans overwhelming supported the call shot/call safe rules and for me personally, I really enjoyed seeing the most "pure" pool playing I've seen...

In retrospect, I agree with you. My initial thoughts about calling shots meant that any ball pocketed must be called. (Old school rules I grew up with not only required us to call the pocket a ball was going into, but whether it would or would not carom off another ball to do it! We had to...
