    Once again Earl shows his lack of class, what a disgrace

    I don't know Earl so I don't know what he's thinking. I do enjoy his play and haven't witnessed one of his explosions. Questions I have that somebody can answer: Isn't he from the generation where losing was not acceptable and a "hug and a kiss" after a loss was seen as not really caring...

    The Mental part of the GAME

    Does anyone know if there's anything to when Cornbread Red said in his book "when you start getting thoughts play faster to keep them out of your head". I think there's something to it but sometimes the decision process seems to force you to slow down.

    what do you do when playing friends/family?

    Don't do it! If you feel guilty give up the table and do something else. Always play your best if you start goofing around you'll find (at least in my case) that it ruins your game. Wilie Mosconi's book had a segment where he was told by his promoter to never try less than your best or you'll...

    Cash Games On TV.

    I thought the few ring games that were shown on TV were pretty boring. They used a poker chip system and edited the hell out of it so you didn't get the flow of the match. I understand the editing for time but I like seeing every player. Sidebar but I'm always hearing how TV tries to get or...

    Sharking

    Most sharking doesn't bug me because its straight forward how to deal with with it. Something that isn't considered sharking but bugs the hell out of me is when a player after "ratting" in a ball or unintentional safety wave their hand like "I'm sorry" we all know you "lucked" out if you're...

    SNL does neg skit on women's pool.

    WPBA would love a major sponsor like that for their tour. The funniest thing about SNL is now that the election is over they try to spoof Obama to gain "Street cred" no telling how many viewers they lost. The only skit I liked regularly was "Really".

    Is every player top 3 in world?

    Classic line Good people are missing out if they see Max and don't take time to say hello. Pool junkies are missing out if they don't say hello. I talked with him for 5 minutes and he was showing me a few things about pool for free that he probably charges a good price. The book "Zen pool"...

    APA Handicap system - how does it work

    Scott maybe you or someone else can answer. I don't play APA anymore but I wanted to know how the SLs are calculated not to "sandbag" but how to reach the next SL. I don't need the formula but if there's something you or somebody knows. I started a 4 like every male player and remained a SL8...

    Who is the worst announcer?

    He (Jim Wych) might be a good guy but for whatever reason he bugs the hell out of me. he has a knack of stepping over the other commentator who's trying to say something relevant. Of course I can't stand Bob Costas constant stream of crap (always sounds offended we're watching the game instead...

    Not Reading Anymore Aiming Threads

    You got that right I started golf and there's a "million" ideas (all of them are right and everyone else is wrong) about swinging a club to hit a golf ball. When I stopped reading golf magazines for awhile I broke 90. One thing golf taught me was wait a year the $500 drivers and $50 DVDs and...
