The last two posters in this thread can’t even comprehend my original post.

What % of the bigger streamed matches over the last year do you think are for real money as opposed to money grabs for the streamers PPV money? I know back in the days of the original streamer TAR, Justin stated he would never stream a match that wasn’t real in any way shape or form.

Lou has this pegged correct. I watched Dean Higgs (great old time STL one pocket player) play way past his prime when he was basically blind and he would have ran circles around Artie’s bump all the balls up the table game. Like Lou said, you can tell when someone could play at one time in...

He didn’t play Artie in his prime. He played Artie about a decade ago —- well beyond his prime (whatever that was). Unfortunately there wasn’t much record keeping back in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Barely any in the 90s. I’ve been around pool since the mid to late 80s. Never heard of Artie and...

Thanks .... I do have the hand written letter he sent me when he shipped the cue. I wish I would have met him.

I think the question on the pics was to the original posts I made in this thread. Along with Paul’s emails, I had pics of each stage of the build of the cue he made for me. Unfortunately they all got lost on a computer crash I had and I used some online hosting program to post the pics here...

You have Brandon on your list twice. And you can’t figure out why no one attends the CSI events?

I think the OP point is that there are only 36 players in the field and the quality doesn’t stand up to the Us Open 9 ball. CSI has failed again to promote this event properly and like many of their events across all their platforms in recent years, participation is way down.

Sorry JAM, with all due respect -- this isn't their first rodeo. I think maybe they were blinded by the awesomeness of the match they forgot to put their ducks in a row. I talked to the person traveling with Justin last night - he is a good friend of mine. I told him he was silly to even...

All of that promotion and no one (the promoters) thought to get no show money posted. I'm sorry, but that is a complete failure.

We only have Jayson's word that he is betting his own. Who knows if that is true? Only thing that makes me think it has any truth to it is when he played Bergman the first time, his one stakehorse dropped out last minute, another guy was driving in from Boston I believe and had only a piece...

Stu - I said the same thing to Mike Page / Fargo well over a year ago when Johnny Archer is playing less than almost anyone and his rating stayed the same or went up. Also entering matches 1-0 because a tournament promoter / director is lazy is well, just terrible.

I had a nice conversation with the director of sports for Boyd Gaming last year. He is fully aware of the challenge of champions fiasco and even so, they are discussing bringing back wagering on pool in the future so it is not out of the question. He is also aware of what Matchroom is...

Do you have a video of your spray glue acting like Velcro when taking it off a rail? Do you have documented scientific evidence that your glue is strong than others?

Hey Matchroom -- one poster said that Shane McMinn wasn't picked because, well it was inferred cause he is fat and wouldn't look good on TV. Care to comment? And if Marcus beats Johan two years in a row convincingly, would that make Marcus the best ever coach?

Not sure if the laws / police are the same every where but I had a friend have his cue stolen. The police caught them rather quickly cause they went to another pool room 20 miles away and were playing with their "new" cue. My friend didn't press charges cause the police told him if he did...

excellent gestures and glad to see Ed and yourself stepping up. Just be nice to see some clarification cause surely we learned something from VV failures.

Did you get any action?

Shane will be slumped in a chair with a look of disdain on his face once he misses a ball or his opponent gets lucky. The rest of the team will see his demeanor and the MC will be over once again.

nobody fared very well last year.
