    marriage vs. pool smh

    the last two houses ive bought, my wife and I sat down to write out a list of things we wanted in a house before we went house shopping. My list was short: "one room 14x18 minimum that will be used for a pool table". I will admit that I do not get anywhere near the sharpness in my game that...

    So anyone got any funny pool room stories

    i was playing one pocket one time for $ and me and my opponent are usually pretty much fire at your hole every shot. We are playing on a table close to the front desk and into the pool room walk two drop dead gorgeous girls. The room is full and there is a waiting list for tables so the girls...

    2013 APA Nationals...Who is going?

    Ill be there for 8ball and masters. We got a strong masters team this year. Team name is "Chink in the armor". Those who know me will get it. "Politically incorrect" might be our backup team name when apa tells us to change it. Good rolls to all who attend.

    Pulling up in the middle of a set when score is tied

    Your out of line. The game WAS on the level. Rob had to beat the 10ball ghost to win this game. Orcullo didnt think he could but he was wrong. Orcullo matched up bad. End of story. Hardly a "charade" when one player has to beat the ten ball ghost to win.

    Pulling up in the middle of a set when score is tied

    I don't think Robs example has "sprung a leak". The point is orcullo has no problem getting paid when he is in a game stealing. In a game where his opponent has the nuts he's pulling moves like what he did to Rob.

    Pulling up in the middle of a set when score is tied

    First id like to say that Rob is completely in the right here and that Ocullo pulled a disgusting move. I actually thought Jay's effort to ship some dough to Rob to settle the matter more fairly was a good gesture. I wanted to get that out of that way before I chimed in about Chris. Lil Chris...

    Is anyone watching bonus ball?

    at the risk of sounding like a big ol nit, i will say that i dont see the reason to pay to watch bb since there is a ridiculous amount of free pool online now that features stone champions like the pinoys, top euros or even older accustats piracy. Not to mention all the free content out there...

    Azb pro player investment fund

    This seems to be good for a tournament stake but gambling I dont see this working. Too much information out in the open. The biggest issue I see with this is player integrity and dedication. How would we know if the current az horse is really all in on becoming a champion or instead, at this...

    ** Florida Pool Scene **

    Brent, the best action in florida 1995 to present is the guy you and Johnny played in Tampa, Bubba. Everyone else is a distant second place. instead of naming players, perhaps you could have asked where are the best spots to get played in florida? I would think Tally, St Pete/Tampa and...

    Henny stories

    Pinegar played a tournament match in florida against earl and that was an interesting match to sweat. At one point henny was saying that earl was sharking him and a big argument ensued. Earl then started shooting one handed and using the other hand to hold it up and block out pinegar from his...

    Miami going down

    the refs never call fouls when its last few seconds in the lane. Its been this way forever. I think there is an understanding that they let the boys play and its going to come down to someone scoring or someone missing and not some stupid free throw as the game buzzer sounds. If your a small guy...

    Combination shots

    a good player when I was growing up suggested to me that I try standing a bit more upright when shooting combos instead of getting down with my chin on my cue like I normally shoot. His reasoning was that he sees the path line easier for the combo standing a bit more upright. Its worth a shot...

    8 Ball - Attack, Attack, Attack!

    That defense first strategy in 8ball only takes you so far. Eventually you get to the level of play where someone is going to regularly come with a tremendous shot, break balls open and run out. Especially on a bar table, especially playing slop counts, you will see good players kick a ball in...

    onepocket.org

    i like onepocket.org. I dont post much over there because im a one hole idiot. They have alot of serious discussion about pocket billiards most difficult game. As far as immaturity, every forum has that, but this place is hardly the place I would think people could throw stones from.

    Apa Las Vegas.

    the 8ball team i play with won this weekend. Our team cruised pretty well, logging a 12-1 match record for cities. Lots of double hill matches, just all of em went our way. Some weird stuff happened to. Im playing a pretty solid 4 in a 5-2 race. He wins the 3 game to make it 2-1 and then when...

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Hohmann 60 Ball Run on Youtube

    Still dont know the rules, but then if this gets on TV, neither will most that see it for the first time. You will need to find a way to show the audience what is the object here. If you could maybe show which ball will be shot into which pocket both currently and next, in a subtle manner but...

    Gabe Owen Thread Removed? Mod please at least give me your thoughts

    I wish it was the case that for every thread we have had on az discussing the legal woes of great players we had an equal amount of threads talking about the great success stories of other players. Sadly this is not the case, and when it does come up on the rare occasion, the achieving player...

    Names from the past

    How about Slim Carney, Bob Ogburn and Drug addict Randy out of Gainesville. The first two are pretty well known pool players. I figure Randy finally succumbed to his addictions, but damn he played pretty strong for someone whose life was in shambles.
