I played Pat Howey once in 9 ball and then talked to him after the match. I asked him his high run ever and he said 326 I think. It was definately over 320. Being a new guy to straight pool with a goal of 100 I asked him how many times he ran over 100. His reply was "ha ha" and then he...
Thanks, I'll do my best to stop by as many as I can. Family is in Brooksville and not in a trailer. Are there any Diamond tables in the area. Not that it matters, but I figured I might go the extra mile. Thanks again for all the responses.
I'm from upstate NY and I am going to Florida on vacation. I was wondering what pool halls are in the area so I can shoot or compete. I am going to a town called Brooksville which is about an hour north of Tampa. I will be in Florida Sunday April 6th through Wednesday April 9th. Any...

I don't see anywhere that I could watch or purchase the match. It is getting closer...
Did the blood get on the table? Simonis isn't cheap. Hope he is ok and can get back to the table. The stress of pool can do wonders to a persons emotions, especially at that level of play.
I've ran 53 twice in the past couple months. I'm only 21 and most of the people I play haven't heard of straight pool. I never get to play 14.1 but would like to. The second one was much nicer if that means anything.
What are the odds? I don't play a lot of straight pool but tend to shoot every once in a while. Someone told me to play more straight pool and I will become a much better 9 ball player. Last year my high run was 36 balls. A few weeks ago I made a new high run of 53 balls. Today, again, I...
End Rail Billiards is about 5-10 minutes away in Oneida. The pros go there and shoot once in a while. Another place is Hippos. Hippos is a little further but has about 12 9 foot Gabriels compared to End Rail's 5 9 footers. I enjoy going to both places though.
It looks as though Mike Dechaine crapped out. I heard him talking after the tournament. If he was as good as he talks, he should win every tournament that he goes to.
calcuttas?
There aren't any calacutta's that I saw when I was there. I'm sure there may be some side bets. I heard some people talking about playing for large sums of money. Again, I don't think there is a designated calcutta though.
I'm a 9 ball player but play straight every once in a while when my basement is dry. A couple weeks ago I ran 53 on my 8footer. I've only broke and ran 2 back to back in 9 ball and have broke and ran 4 straight in 8 ball on a bar table. Hope to add to this post later. Looking forward to...
Stevie Moore
Stevie Moore took 5th early in 07 and something like 9th in the last one. Consistently shooting well. Given he gets a few rolls I would bet that he ends up in the top 5.
I recently was playing straight pool with a friend and ran into a question. I ran 53 balls and hit the rack. I then made my 54th ball and scratched. My quest is... What is my run? I would say 53. But total after spotting the 54th ball and taking one off from my 53 score it could be...
