    Any drills to improve????

    Thanks, I'll try that. Sounds very difficult, but I'll try. Thanks. I'll surely practice that. I really don't play pool much at all. And when I do, I just want to relax and have fun. ;) I would love instructions, if I play more often. Unfortunately, I rarely get a chance to play. I...

    Any drills to improve????

    I am by definition a casual player. I play pool once every few months, at most, on and off for 20 years. And when I play, my main objective is to have fun. Just to give everyone an idea of where my game is, my high run in straight pool is 6 or 7 on a 9-ft table. Yup, my high run is 6,7...

    Pure speculation here, Dora. And what's up with "John's owner"? You're better than this.

    TAR Offer To John Schmidt and Danny Harriman

    Is it possible that John and Danny realized no matter how much they try to behave, they simply can't and will clash - once the adrenaline of the competition take over? Therefore, it's best for them that they keep a distance from each other? I'd like to see them play too. But if they don't...

    Apology to Mr. Wayne.

    Everyone is different, and if we make fun of people because they are different, then it is bullying. Just because Thomas is thin skin and can't take a joke doesn't mean he can be continued to be made fun of. Kudos to you, John, for realizing that Thomas doesn't take ribbings well -and apologizing.

    Valley Forge 9 ball, anyone going?

    There will be tables available for coughchallegecough, practice 1 on 1. Players have to be smart and not flaunting, barking or make a scene. Remember there is a casino above you, so don't put Allen Hopkins in a bad spot. There will be at least 2 vendors there.

    Biggest Gambler Busted By Casino

    I can tell you from my personal experience. I played Baccarat at the Rio this past BCAPL. The "Banker" won 16 hands out of 18, the other 2 hands were pushed. I got busted and left, so I didn't know what continued to happen after that. That is from someone who rarely play Baccarat. The point...

    Not funny at all. A few years back, I started with $200. When I crapped out, I cashed out over $10k. Had it been Archie in my spot, it would have easily been mid 6 digits cashout. So yes, it's not a bad idea to stake someone like Archie with a few hundred dollars bankroll. There's no...

    2016 Mosconi Cup Picks ?

    We all know how well you handle the pressures of high stakes gambling in pool, and there is a lot of pressures in the Mosconi Cup. I think you'd do really well being so experienced in performing under heavy pressure..

    Houston Open

    Congrats to Manny Chau for the win. Who's Patrick WArren. To take 2nd place against this field is strong. And yes, surprise that Hillbilly and Shawn Putnam are not in the top 6. I haven't seen Gabe playing pool for a long time.

    Biggest Gambler Busted By Casino

    No casinos will arrest and charged dice players for "throwing" dice any certain way, just like the casinos cannot arrest and charge players for counting cards. The players only get arrested and charged because the casinos suspect cheating (swapping loaded dice, etc). Your friend didn't tell...

    I have never seen nor heard a casino that offered "surrender" in Double Deck, and I have played BJ through out the country. If these rules are offered in Double Deck, then your casino truly offers the best rules in the country. I only "surrender" when the deck is very rich (positive).

    Biggest Gambler Busted By Casino

    You got wrong information if you are saying that he started with $50 and won $40mil playing dice from that original $50. When he started playing dice at the Binion and went on to that historic run, his bankroll was about $1 mil +/-. He got that bankroll from beating Baldwin playing pool...

    I probably have forgotten more Math than most people have ever learned. So I know what you mean when you say Math can't be beat. However, the key is long term (and random). :wink: The "controlled environment" that you are implying applies only to the average Joe. They don't apply to the...
