Scott is correct, this is absolutely what should be done. Unfortunately it never is. Often when the players hear that the TD is going to split it up like this they protest and say something like, "well we'll just play the match then." If you are the TD in this situation, DO NOT ALLOW these...

I agree, Singer was awesome. The whole plane crash sequence was fantastic. Too bad he couldn't have stuck around on X-men 3, his replacement ruined it.

This is silly. Stop posting in this thread!

I saw the movie too (and I agree with his review, first 2 hours were awesome, last 30 mins were weak), and I thought it was pretty funny that someone, anyone, would have a pool table on a boat. If you're playing on it don't complain about the rolls. They even had a scene where they were in a...

I didn't look at the book, but Finstad is the snooker pick. As for nine ball, I tend to like Vidas or Gollan. BTW, are they doing a webcast of the tournament like they did the last few years?

But clearly not the spelling bee on ESPN. IMO it doesn't matter, because the production is lousy for both. I would rather watch an Accu-Stats one-pocket match any day.

I did discount Kelly's knowledge of nine ball and I don't hide that fact. If Steve Davis had offered the same opinion I would have had the same response. I did not discount her 'capability to offer her opinion' or any nonsense like that. It's a free country and she can say and think what she...

I'm not sure this was the case. Earl walked out of the match more because he was frustrated with the rack than with Corey's break. His beef was, according to him anyways, that Scott was putting the balls up for Corey differently than he was for Earl. I know Scott and kind of doubt that but...

It should not be illegal. Nine ball is a game that rewards good breaking, and if he found a way to break the balls that works for him, why should it be stopped? No one says to guys like Archer or Bustamante, who hit the balls massively hard, that they should be forced to hit them softer. When...

All I can say to this is... Boy, America is some great country or what!

I don't know if these have been posted here before, but they are fun to read... http://www.infomercialwatch.org/tran/trudeau.shtml http://skepdic.com/trudeau.html

Sadly I won't be there - but make sure and make the offer to Stevie or Bruce.

Planning in 8 ball is a simple matter of connecting some dots. The above post is laughable because, like so many others who start playing a lot of 8-ball once they get the hang of it they think they've unlocked some magical secret. All of the aspects of the game you describe are totally...

Well I'm a moron too, because I know for a fact that it's a lot easier to run 5 racks of 8 ball than it is to do the same at 9 ball. Massively easier (I would bet on this, but I'm not sure how). Case in point are the very matches taking place at the various IPT qualifers. There were several...

I've been skimming through this thread. Boy is it ever easy to see why Mr. Jay Helfert has trouble getting games. What a joke!

For a nine-ball player it's hard to practice drills because the game is so unpredictable - you never know what kind of layouts you are going to face once battle begins. My preference is to play the ghost, and most of the time I will play some sort of game with it. If I haven't played in a...

Well, unlike you and Ronnie, I do not speak for Efren, I was just offering my opinion. If you want to set it up, it shouldn't be too hard - just go to the Derby City Classic next year and ask Efren. I don't think there's a number you won't be able to bet. If I'm there we can bet on it too...

I'm pretty sure it was from '81 or '82. Davis won the Lada for the maximum but used to joke that the car was so horrible that if he had missed the black at the very end they were going to give him two Ladas.

It most certainly is. You're talking about maybe a 60-70 minute match - one set of tennis or five holes of golf. A decent length match should potentially reach 4 or 5 hours (maybe a race to 30 or so). Wow, how can you not look foward to that!? Every pool telecast in US history has tried to...
