Let me clarify by stating that in the scenario proved by pt 109 I was not implying that any behavior provided in that particular scenario caused me any disgust. What does cause me disgust is actively participating in or defending hustling - as described in my earlier posts in this thread - as...

I’ll continue to denote that I have no qualms with stakes based gambling. Albeit, to utilize a poker analogy - laying all the cards on the table should be the accepted approach. Head to head matchups are a great experience in pocket billiards. I do however think that taking advantage of...

Feel free to chose to stick with your "gambling by the rules of poker", but failing to realize that stakes based competition and hustling are as different as night and day is rash. The example you provided only supports my personal opinions about hustling. Steve H.

Bear in mind that I never did mention anything at all about stakes based competition - just hustling - apples and oranges. Steve H.

In answer to your question, No I do not find it clever in the least. Deceiving another while disguising your true skill level with the intention of luring that person into a circumstance where the confidence is based solely on the hustler and his or her ability to manipulate the "mark" - who...

Hustling defined: To earn one's living by illicit or unethical means Easily falls into the sleazy category for me. Steve H.

Short answer absolutely! Long answer. I do believe tighter pockets - not so much as regulation aramiths on a snooker table - but less forgiving pockets than a standard gold crown will aide you in some aspects of your game; assuming you possess good fundamentals and a solid understanding of...

1. Take responsibility. 2. Apologize to your consumers. Steve H.

I love pool. I love all disciplines. I enjoy the different facets each and every game offers - at all skill levels. I have enjoyed playing snooker the dozen or so times I played it. We had a 5x10 for a short time here in Charlotte when Kelly Fisher was here, had the chance to play a game with...

Exactly - He won a NATIONAL snooker championship, to devalue his win based on your opinion of the competition is simply ridiculous. Steve H.

Delusion? Absolutely no chance? Corey Deuel Captures National Snooker Championship Title How did he manage to win then? Steve H.

I have this exact same stick. Bought it brand new from from Danny's shop in 1996. Pair it with a tiger shaft and this thing is a monster player! If this doesn't move I might have to add it to the collection! Steve H.

I picked one of these up from Jim. I'll have to admit that I was not expecting the quality and aesthetics that this case possesses. This thing is awesome! Bump for a great product at an unbelievable price. :thumbup: Steve H.

I had no idea Mr. Sorvino was such an afficianado. Thanks for all the great responses! :thumbup: Steve H.

Just wandering into to my local room for Tuesday night league and see 'dis guy walking out the door, case in hand. Hate I didn't get a chance to see him hitting any balls. Anybody know how he hits em? Said he was in town shooting a movie. I didn't ask which one....didn't want to upset "Paulie"...

If by recently you mean December of 2010, then yes, Danny Stout did pass away recently. I love the feel and look of his cues. I picked my first custom from his shop in 1996, still have it to this day. If you are interested in selling it, shoot me a pm. Steve H.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Smokin-Cue/115408517182 This one is right up there. They don't post the calcutta results, but when I have been there it ends up being about the same as the tourney. This thing is capped at 64 and during the non-summer months is full every week. Always some...

If the APA wants a centralized national ranking system with a single player identifier across the board, they need to do away with those "local bylaws" and have everyone play to the exact same "nationalized" set of rules. Steve H.
