You have to visualize your opponent as nothing more than a victim. Then, using a nice cue, you carve them up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

To refine your kicking skills, learn to play 3 cushion billiards. Kicking 1, 2 or 3 rails is dependent on speed, spin and a straight stroke. Understand how topspin will shorten an angle and bottom will generate speed. Rail first shots become easy. Before I kick at a low probability kick, I look...

The hatred for John Schmidt, attracts the same mentality that hates Earl. Fact is, they both have entered into a high level of play, that very few will ever reach. You see, respect is earned.....and they have earned mine.

Keep in mind, when you're aggravating some players with an obvious foul, your table antics can end like a rodeo bull ride, with you in a heap on the floor.

They said that about a few of Efren's shots too. An amazing stroke will produce amazing results. ( Mike Massey, Earl)

Has anyone seen him playing in Florida? He's a great 14.1 player and just as handy in 9 ball. I saw him play Mike Zuglan every week in the 70s in Albany at the Golden Cue. 100 point games, with many runs of 100 and out. I bought him in a straight pool calcutta in Binghamton and pretty much...

Your slop shot riding the money ball guarantees you'll be my next victim.

Go back to roll-out, ban the jump sticks and no handicaps. Winner breaks. You don't need a couple points on the wire, you need testicles larger than raisins. Dress appropriately means you can't wear your baggy shorts during the tournament, go barefoot and store your skateboard under the table.

You'd need a Brink's truck to haul away the money CJ has taken from top performers in pool. Living in Albany, NY during the early 70s, I can give you a long list of top "pros" that came to town to play Mike Zuglan....and they all lost their money. They were barking up the wrong tree. Some...

In their prime, if you bet against either one, you were probably throwing your money away. We are fortunate to have witnessed such a great player like Efren, in our lifetime. Who among you have walked into Hard Times and said "I'll spot everybody."

I'm not going to run balls when there is a 5 ball combo hanging in front of me. Where's my 26 ounce break stick?

Pack it well, we have a cash pool for the most accurate package handler at the Post Office, that can launch a tube parcel across the sorting floor and through the basketball hoop. The pool gets won every month.

Asking pro players about pool stuff their sponsors sell, is like asking a hooker which brand of mattress she prefers.

Here at the Post Office, we like to have a little fun while the mail is in transit. We like to prove that your package is not even close to being “crush proof.” Our forklift will prove that every time. The current record for a package to travel the length of the post office is 3 seconds and held...

Appleton would have done well in this tournament.

In the first BC Open, I believe 1985, Dave Howard was disqualified by Gary Pinkowski for commenting that Pinky was a "Little Hitler" at the player's meeting. (I believe he said it at the bar to just 2 other players.) Gary prohibited Howard from playing in the Pro-Am celebrity tournament, where...

Poolrooms cater to the ball-bangers and always have. They make sure their bar boxes have big enough pockets and EVERY tournament will be handicapped. I once played in a "New Year's Day" tournament ($25.). As an A player, I had to give the best player in that room, the 5,6,7,8 and 9 plus all the...

To believe that pros pattern rack, is to believe you really have a chance beating them in a race to 9 or 11.

Danny DiLiberto would be my choice. I had a lesson from Jim Rempe and I'm ashamed to say I played pool for 25 years and did not know what he showed me. Bumped my game up a notch. Nick Varner is a real champion that earned his way to the top. Funny story..a friend of mine that plays pretty sporty...

I've heard stories about broken car windows and missing cues right in the pool room parking lot. Best thing for them is front teeth on the toe of steel toed boots.
