    Watching a couple of late 90s/early 2000s pro videos. Question about bridges.

    I always thought this Taj Mahal song he might be talking about pool.

    Eddie - I remember that. I was genuinely worried about you.

    San Francisco for a week ;-)

    Wow! That sounds like a great trip! Scenery - drive us 1 south to Santa Cruz - stop and have fish tacos in half moon bay. Stop at Ano Nuevo and walk the mile or so to see the elephant seals. There are numerous pullouts along the road. Don’t get too close to the edge! China beach is a...

    St. Louis' First Lady of Pool Passes...

    I’m grateful for all she has done for pool. I did not know her personally but her legacy lives on.

    Anyone heard from ChrisinNC?

    Nice find. Based on that it looks like he got some water but right at the edge of the peak. Hopefully he and his people are safe and had minimal damage. I don’t want to post the address but he has said publicly on AZB that his room is called Fanily billiards.

    Anyone heard from ChrisinNC?

    I have family in Boone. They have been without power and internet but they did manage to post on Facebook that they are ok and didn't have too much damage. Hopefully Chris too.

    Finding bank pool players Chicago south to practice with.

    If you are going up there then Nick’s is close and they have cheap table time weekdays with a standing 4-5 handed banks game for small stakes every day.

    What is a Shortstop?

    A lot of top pros came to Denver to try and take off Danny in the 80s and 90s. Including big names. Almost none of them got the cash.

    What is a Shortstop?

    I agree with what you are saying and I think that applies today. In the past I think it was different. For one thing, there just were not that many 700+ level players like there are today. When I lived in Denver (< 2000) many of the top players were probably in the mid 600s by today's FARGO...

    What is a Shortstop?

    Jay - you probably were in Denver after Danny’s best years. In his prime it took a really good pro to beat him. This was 80s and 90s. By 2000 or so his game had declined a bit so shortstop was probably an apt description. At that time I think some short stops around Denver (90s)were more...

    Help identifying a possible hustler

    I think that’s either California or Texas. Nobody’s ever seen a picture of either of them before.

    It’s time to shame chalk grinders

    And they came back and did it? Lol. I would laugh in your face. Not that I use baby powder - because I know how to use soap.

    Diamond bar boxes are trash

    There was a beautiful refurbished one for sale here in Chicago last year. I bet it played perfectly. I don’t remember the price but it seemed reasonable to me. $2k maybe?

    Diamond bar boxes are trash

    This is my experience too. I normally play in a room with excellent Diamond bar tables set up perfectly. Then I go play a tournament at a different place that also has diamond bar tables. Some rails are dead so banks are inconsistent. Some of the rails aren't aligned properly so some of the...
