    OB cues shut down?

    I don't know if it is public knowledge but Meucci was bought last year by an investment firm.

    Personally most annoying thing in pool.

    For me it would be playing a match against someone who is not paying attention. You try to call something and have to wait for them to acknowledge you, which could take some time. Then the come and ask, "do i have stripes or solids?" Maybe if you paid attention and you wouldn't need to ask...

    DAZN petty charge

    Personally I wouldn't get upset for a charge that small. I keep my DAZN subscription so I can watch all the other Mathroom events.

    Jump Shots - Form or Cue?

    If you don't have good form/technique, it doesn't matter what cue you have. I have seem people with carbon fiber jump cues that can jump to save their life. After about 5 minutes of coaching the proper form, they are getting over balls just fine. I do agree that the carbon fiber cues make it...

    The only thing wrong with "Pool," is it needs watching.

    another needed needed is for all those pool fans to pay to watch it.

    Shane Van Boening on "60 Minutes," December 4, 7:30 p.m. Eastern

    They did mention that Shane played a lot of money games but has sense got away from that, which is accurate. When I first started going to Derby City, Shane was upstairs in the action room a lot. Now you won't catch him up there unless it is a tournament match.

    European douche bags

    Correct. Everyone has their things they like. Wrestling does have that "stereotypical" wrestling fan that you speak of. However more fans of mainstream wrestling (WWE and AEW) are just your average person looking for an escape and sports entertainment does it for them. There are more...

    Jeanette Lee appearance at Amsterdam Billiards in NYC

    If I wasn't doing my own show the same date I would make the trip there to see her. If anyone is close enough to go, do it!

    European douche bags

    Pro wrestling has evolved a lot since then. Your comment about it being entertainment for people with an IQ less then 65 is born out of ignorance. Plus, WWE either sells out or gets close to selling out 2 arenas per week with a fan base pool could only dream of. The mosconi cup is the most...

    European douche bags

    You get it! When Skylar is in London he does the "ear cup" to insight the European crowd. We all love it when he does. It is no different.

    European douche bags

    Think of this as pro wrestling. They are the villains (heels) so they are playing the part. Mosconi Cup is about entertainment as well.

    Getting Better...

    If you make more than $600 from a specific group. Since the artistic pool division is an LLC, anyone who makes more than $600 in tournament winnings in a year I have to send a 1099 to. So if you a player won $50,000 total playing in the predator events, then they should get a 1099 from Predator.

    Smell foul

    I think everyone has a good fart story from the pool room. I used to play league with a guy who had a history of bad gas from being lactose intolerant. I had a stomach issue that night and was just ripping them left and right and it was not just the air type. It was like rotten eggs bad...

    Is Sponsorship that good?

    Each players sponsorship deal is different. Some may just get product. Some may get some entry fee/travel help, and some may get financial compensation. However if you are consistently in the top 3 of these type of events, you are covering your expenses. All those players are able to make...
