I'm going to stop the stream and reboot everything be back in five minutes

https://web.archive.org/web/20070820031710/http://www.theactionreport.com/index.html TAR 1 in 2007 $10 a day. Eight years later with many quality improvements and if you buy in bulk the USBTC costs the same as PPV did in 2007. My guess is the more militant folks railing on the price buy...

People can use the CSI Ustream chat: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cuesports-international Best way to do it is have two windows. One with the ppv viewer and minimize the other one with the chat and put them next to each other.

Oscar is having success because he is good man with a great rep that is well earned and he busts his ass. You know this. His tournaments are on big tables because California is a big table region. If he was in the midwest he would be on bar tables and do just as well. He didn't try to fight...

My opinion is that if you beat the top guys on any track it means something. While the bar table narrows the gap a little between the elite and great players it still comes down to executing under pressure. Thats what makes a champion in my mind. Not the venue or equipment. Perfect example is...

I'm a big table guy like you. I also know from traveling all over the US that you are spot on with your breakdown of big table areas and bar table areas. I was just in LA and that part of the country is very big table. Same with NYC. Go to Kansas City or Indianapolis and its different...

You are almost surely right about Shane and Earl. No one thinks switching to small tables is going to change things over night. Whats been done in the past does not work. Period. The end. So that means you either quit or try something new. If by doing these two tournaments on bar tables a...

Like I said earlier I agree on the name thing. From what little I know a big table open event wasn't even on the table. That doesn't mean it wasnt just that I didnt hear about it. Which if that was the case means to me it was down to another small invitational like last year or what we have...

Yeah the one pocket numbers surprised me. I chalk that up to a couple factors: -One pocket guys are hardcore for the most part and go out of their way to find it. - Free quality videos of great one pocket matches are not as common as other other games meaning to me it those matches will draw...

So you think its inconceivable amateur players who have enough interest in pool to fly to Vegas for week may find seeing the best players play on the same tables they do more interesting than tables many of them don't even have access to? As for marketing I agree. I'm not a marketing guy...

I agree with you Lou. I think calling it the US Open just confuses people and pisses off some. I don't know why it ended up that way but I think it would of went down a lot easier if they called it something else.

I talked to to Ric and Bonnie Jones about this Thursday. Told them your idea and asked them to tell me why it wont work. They said they tried this several places and what happens is that if you make the handicaps big enough for the lower players to really have a chance the better players wont...

You make it sound like being in it for the money is a bad thing. I will hold the most awesome nine foot tournament ever and not charge anyone anything. Of course I wont be paying out anything either. How many players you figure will show up? If the players are just in it for the money why...

I first want to say I am not speaking for CSI in any way here. I am speaking as a guy who spent his own time and money trying to do pro pool the way myself and a lot of people in this thread think it should be done. 9 footers, tried all kinds of formats, tried super tight pockets. Tried about...

Corey is out. Hot seat going now with Foldes vs Geronimo Mika v Rodney for 4th starting next

Three or four depending on how long they run. Hot seat just started. Foldes vs Geronimo

Old news. They kissed and made up. Actually Rodney showed a lot of heart and reached out to repair some damaged bridges. He said something to me today that impressed the hell out of me. Not that I ever had a big problem with him. I didnt agree with some of his opinions or how he expressed them...

Santos vs Rodney on the loser side up now.

I have no idea what POV does. I have done a few streams now and again so my answer based on experience is that things change and sometimes things that worked yesterday do not work today and might work perfect tomorrow. Normally I have much more control over everything to do with a stream. It...

The stream was scheduled to start at 1. That match was on simply because I was setting up todays stream and wanted to put it up instead of the loop. In the future I will not start until the scheduled time so there is no confusion. My fault on this one.
