    It is now OFFICIAL. New home of the Accu-Stats Arena - Breaker Billiards in Clifton,

    Best part of this is that Clifton is also the home of Rutt's Hutt, the original deep fried dog. So, in Clifton, you can watch great pool and eat well to. Sounds like a great reason for a road trip.... tim

    Where Will Next Years BCA be Held? Riviera Going Bankrupt!

    While the casinos have TRIED to make their hotel rooms and restaurants into profit centers during the late 90's and early 00's, it surely isn't working right now, is it ? Especially the Wynn, Encore, etc. At $159/night for something that was supposed to be north of $300, you betcha they need...

    Thank you everyone

    As I said in my other post, I'll have plenty of USA stuff for you guys at the MGM. Get some sleep out there, concentrate on what you're doing and be nice to the lady in the striped shirt. So, kill them with kindness......and a thunderous break. tim

    Where Will Next Years BCA be Held? Riviera Going Bankrupt!

    When I ventured into the casino, it took forever to get a simple draft beer. And, when i did, it was piss warm. Not to mention the attitude that went with it. And Cady's was THE MOST expensive place in Vegas. $15 bucks for breakfast ? You have to be kidding! So I went to the buffet. Again...

    Mosconi Cup - Words to Dennis and the Team

    First of all, congrat Dennis. While no one will be sure ever, I'd like to think that we here on AZ had something to do with your nomination. There is, however, a small price for this nomination. Pretty damn cheap price if I have to say so myself. 1) Play hard. Accept good and bad rolls...

    Where Will Next Years BCA be Held? Riviera Going Bankrupt!

    Considering that a high roller can ruin a casino's quarter, I'd say that the average joe tossing a K a day is pretty important. Otherwise, you are arguing that a vegas casino should eliminate slot machines and the comp system that goes with them. Which isn't going to happen. BTW, your...

    Pool is over for me?

    Dean Simple suggestion. Get a ticket for Vegas. Mosconi Cup. Come watch with us. Cheer. Drink vodka. Leer at the fashions of young women. Eat steak and sushi. Guarandangteed that your issues will be gone by the time you return to Texas. I have a feeling your wife will understand. tim

    Where Will Next Years BCA be Held? Riviera Going Bankrupt!

    Boo Hoo Hoo. Vegas is going under. Who cares ? The gaming business has thumbed its nose at the everyday player for years and now what ? They need the everyday player! Good riddance. Oh, and for the Riv? The most mismanaged, poor staffed goofball casino I've ever been to ? Let it burn MF...

    Dennis is good but why not "Rodney for Mosconi?"

    after the last debacle in LV, the last thing we need is Mr. Relaxed. We need someone who is going to take the thing seriously and kick some Euro butt. Rodney has had his chances. Time to give it to someone else. tim

    Unreasonably Upset

    Your title says it all. You were the one who wanted to run out. You missed. You left him to control the table. He was merely putting you in "8 ball hell". Its acceptable, legal and wholly encouraged in league play. Last time I checked, leagues are handicapped and many times playing this way...

    Hatch takes the lead in Mosconi Voting!!!

    I have found a vendor selling RW&B items here in RI. I will have a box shipped out and waiting. Good reminder. I have to contact Matchroom Sports. At a minimum, US hand flags for everyone in attendance (only the US folks). We'll work on those stove hats, too. Maybe a RW&B wig for Nick...

    Hatch takes the lead in Mosconi Voting!!!

    This is America, and you can do as you please within reason. As long as you don't violate laws, you have the freedom of speech. This is my urging, not a mandate. Vote with your heart. Please. Please vote. Before you do, please listen to my pitch. I'm sick and freaking tired of watching the...

    Billy Incardona

    I've got a tape with Billy and Grady and in the middle of the match, Grady says "well, now its perfectly clear why you have failed to win any billiards tournament of any consequence..." The booth erupted. Just hilarious. Funnier still was the fact that Captain Hook was in the booth and...

    Dennis Hatch on Mosconi Cup Team

    Dennis Despite my fondness for John Schmidt, his recent injury made me consider you more than he. I wound up voting for you. Remember one thing. This is OUR game. They still come to the US to play in tournies. Show them what kind of game we have in the Northeast. Get sleep and be ready to...

    How do you stay in stroke?

    Great commentary from everyone! I'll add something from Tommy McGonagle, author and player. I posed a similar question to him and he stared back at me and said "Pool is the most difficult game in the world. My stroke can vary depending on how work is going, whether I had an argument with my...

    MOSCONI CUP VOTES - The official list

    John, I'll have to say that I'd really like to see you participate. Stevie as well. Rodney has had his chances and I'd like to see others have an opportunity. I'd like to think that the Joss Tour is competitive, so Dennis is a selection possibility. They are all strong players, so the key is...
