after years of listening to all of this crybaby-ing and being guilty of it myself on a few occasions, handicapped pool + money=trouble.

If you want to stay on a table all night, go find a pool hall and pay for table time. What you did is definitely a dick move. That table isn't necessarily there for you to show off how great you are, it's for customers. And as the other posters have said, you ruined someone else's fun...

Yep, basically. It was never proven, but it seriously bothered me that people (who probably have daughters themselves) would jump to his defense, and would probably offer up their own daughters to him. I mean, the guy plays pool real well, but that shouldn't excuse him from any type of...

I've had 2 BK3's pass through my hands. I just don't like them. Still using my BK2, but I was highly impressed by the Jacoby Edge break cue at the expo. Any Mezz Break cue is great, but I feel they're a bit overpriced. Anyone have any thoughts on the OB? But to answer your question, I would...

Am I the only one annoyed about paying $10 to get back into the main area after midnight each night, having already paid $100 for the Amateur event and getting the 4-day pass?

Thanks for the info, gentlemen. Are these places I'd be able to go into and not worry about getting profiled?

+1. Sandcastle also has a Monday night. Steinway has a Monday night and a Wednesday night also, and Cue Bar has a tournament on Tuesdays. Although Queens might be a bit of a stretch, considering distance and toll.

How did each fare on the world stage? ie Kuwait open, China open, All-Japan, etc.

look at Corner Bank in Toronto (Jim Wyche's room). That's a converted warehouse with full bar and kitchen, and the place is simply amazing. Easily in my top 5 pool rooms, next to Gotham and Steinway. I'm not sure what Bullshooter's in Phoenix used to be (department store is my guess), but that...

I know the leagues pay for the table time. Some pay 5 per person/table, some pay 10 per person/table. The rest goes into administrative fees (aka feeding one's family), and prize funds at the end of seasons. Not all leagues and their operators are the same. Some make more off their respective...

going all-practice or all-competition, you'll see some growth, but not as much as having a balance of practice and competition. Practice is where you work on different aspects of your game like fundamentals, kicking, etc. and Competition is like the test. I put in hundreds of hours on the...

Check out Rockaway Billiards. They have the best practice deal I've ever heard of. They also hold Tri-State tour stops about once a month on Sundays. Unless you're willing to travel to the city, your best bet would be APA. I think Tony Robles' NAPL has a night at Clifton Billiards. I live in...

Hammerhead.

I prefer Gold Crowns. Once you know how to hit the pocket on a diamond, it's child's play. Plus, diamonds pretty much all play exactly the same. As far as consistency from one table to the next, Diamond wins. For something that will really give your skillset a workout, Gold Crown.

Well.... Team USA did get medals too. So they got their participation award :thumbup:

What shall we call Team Asia vs. Team USA?

You're perfectly fine with what you have. I'm 35 and I break about 16-19mph consistently. The real key is accuracy. If you can hit that head ball square, you'll get a much better reaction from the balls, plus the added benefit of more control.

search my name (youtube), I've been uploading a bunch of my matches. no commentary, I've been too lazy/busy to add descriptions, but I welcome any criticism or advice (via PM would be preferable)
