    IMO, what AZBilliards needs.

    Measuring one's skill level

    in my humble opinion, charting how many balls one can run no matter the game. Still if you want to measure your excellence the run f balls would have to be done under pressure; either in a tourney or in a gambling session. i also believe your skill level can really be deternined by objective...

    So - who here plays this game for the fun?

    it is obvious i learned to play in a far different environment than the previous posters. while gambling maybe considered by many as an "ugly side" of pool; to me and i assure you many others it is just a means of keeping score. whether it is the obligatory game of 8 ball for your favorite...

    A question regarding etiquette

    i guess i would say is it a money game or tourney? then the proper thing would be to get up and move and take the chair with you. if not a money game or tourney then just stay put and farting is a proper move. however, the players should discuss discuss the potential problem and have the chair...

    You and a friend in a tournament?

    if my friend even suggested such a "planned outcome"; well i don't know if we could continue being a friend on the level you suggest. you need to ask yourself why you even play in a tourney. in my case and my friends we each would do our utmost best to win on our own merits and not trying to...

    Limited Table Time.

    one suggestion: practice like you are gambling. when you are making a run of balls don't try a more difficut shot when you are in the process of completing a run whether it's against someone or if you are just practicing running out. if you want to practice difficult shots then by all means...

    Who do you let play with your cue?

    no one. i don't buy cues to sell or collect so my cue is my cue. i hear they sell cues in a bunch of places; that's how i got mine. when my cue has to be repaired, i have to play off the wall, so if no one plays with my cue except me, then any hard feelings are upfront and not on the back end...
