This Asia girl I played a girl named Asia in an APA handicapped tournament in Birmingham in 2010 played at Bumper's in Hoover. She was expected to win the tournament. I put her out. I don't know if this is the same girl or not. It could be.

Me, too. Yep, scared the crap out of me, too. I think it was just a poor choice of words. It was definitely misleading.

I think the shooters on the next table were not players but recreational shooters and therefore probably don't have any clear understanding of the niceties of our sport. Chalk it up to just one bad experience and don't let it color your love of the game. I read your posts and would like to...

Hi Hi, Sean: How have you been? I like your weather map. I wish they would put stuff like that on the Weather Channel...lol. I have been out of the country for most of January. I went to Central America to look at some little known Mayan ruins in hard to get to places (hiking through...

Expectations too high? It does happen to me, too. Usually it is when I have been playing really good on the practice table. When I come to my match, I am positive that I am going to annihilate my opponent only to go down in ignominious defeat. Keep on working on your game. It will...

Pool Knowledge I read a lot of books, watch all the pro matches I can find, watch streamed events and instructional DVDs. I have also been to pool school and try to play with superior players and learn from them. At this point in my pool journey, I have a great deal of knowledge and a little...

Good shooting You shoot really well. Nice table and cam. Who gave it to you? And will they put me on their Xmas list next year? lol

Thank you for making me look at my pool goals I read your article "I am sick of pool" and the responses from others who have had the same feelings or similar ones. It really made me think about what I want from the game. I did not learn to shoot pool until I was 60 years old. (I have been...

Next Match Turning Stone Match is undecided as of the moment...waiting for some matches to be completed. Archer, Strickland, and Hatch have already played on the streaming table so won't be chosen. It should be a good one because there are a lot of excellent players left in the...

One Pocket One pocket is harder by far IMO because of the infinite variety of strategical maneuvers one has to learn. It is a very defensive game and requires a great deal of knowledge and skill. I guess that is why I prefer 14.1...lol

Sorry, I am a retired school teacher Sorry, Fatboy: I like reading what you write but find the errors (grammatical, spelling, usage) distracting. Reread what you write before you hit the "Post Reply" button. I am sure you will correct a lot of your own errors. A couple of hints: (1) Never...

Been there...done that! I know exactly how you feel. I have shot some of my worst pool when the fear of making a fool of myself takes hold. I don't advocate the use of drugs but as a retired teacher I use to frequently advise students who go into brain lock in an exam to take a couple of...

Thank you so much ...for posting this challenge match. I have been watching it now for over an hour and am seeing some great pool. This Dimitri Jungo is someone to watch in the future. His cueball position is almost immaculate! Nell

Aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen As a teacher (retired now) I often advised my students whom I knew to be capable but suffered from brain lock during an exam (test anxiety) to take a couple of aspirin, acetomenaphin, or ibuprofen 30 minutes before an exam. I frequently take a couple of Advil before...

Aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen As a teacher (retired now) I often advised my students to take a couple of aspirin 30 minutes before a major test to ease the tension and allow them to think logically. I almost always take a couple of Advil before a match and "seem" to play better. I laughingly...

Reyes vs. Rempe Thanks for the post. That was a great match to watch. (clap)

How old do you have to be? How old does one have to be to be a legend? I didn't learn to shoot pool until I was 60. I guess it is too late for me to be a legend...lol :crying:

Not for me... I wouldn't want to be any of the greatest players. I just don't think I could stand the disappointment of waking up to my same old set of bad habits after shooting perfection pool.:frown:

Ladies still in the U. S. Open Could we please refer to them as ladies?:rolleyes:

Nationality/Citizenship This thread originally addressed the question of nationality vs. citizenship. How in the world did you people turn this into a race issue???
