Most community sites have the ability to resize photos on upload so the user doesn’t have to manually do it. Have one server run the conversion on the backend and opposed to 1000 users each having to individually do it. But this isn’t Mike’s fault, I assume XenoForo doesn’t have that ability.

What about other events the last couple of years? A selection of matches from each?

It’s like the guy who made 5000 free throws in a row. It takes someone with otherworldly concentration skills. I can’t even walk 800 steps without stumbling.

Yeah, I was more interested in Shaw's moxie / stamina to go for 1000 the day after shooting 832.

Not to keep beating this horse, but the pool stories in this are as good as the Hustler, and the Hustler is one of my favorite books. I’m shocked these weren’t more widely circulated before.

I thought about your comment when the Eufala Kid was misspelled in his mention in the first story as the Sufala Kid. But also neat to see how connected Tevis was in the 1950s that he could even list top road players.

This book turned out to be a hidden gem, it has some great pool stories.

Good work by you in finding these works. I was aware that the Hustler ran partially as a magazine serial (as noted by Lou) but didn't know he had other short stories related to pool.

Here's an Amazon reprint (which I just ordered): https://www.amazon.com/King-Dead-Stories-Walter-Tevis/dp/0593467523 Here's the table of contents, which has several of the pool stories in the link above:

Looks like he had a collection of pool short stories: http://lynn-munroe-books.com/list72/UncollectedTevis.html Here is the Man from Chicago: https://archive.org/details/BlueBookV100N03195501/page/n11/mode/2up Here is Sucker's Game...

I watched it and think it was well worth my $6. I image any one on AZB would feel the same. Someone should collect all of Nick Varner’s stories.

Is that your listing?

Good reviews online so far, anyone here seen it yet?

That’s the best reason I’ve heard.

There have been a few cases in recent years where "world" sports organizations have come under fire for anti-competitive behavior. Here's a link to the skating case: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/es/ip_17_5184 And recent activity in soccer...

It doesn’t and for most of us, nothing helps anyway. Losing 7-0 to a pro or losing 7-5 to fellow smuck has the same educational value.

It can be fun and entertaining. Pool is one of the rare sports where a schmuck can actually play against a top pro in routine tournaments.

I assume you have Chris’s book? Do you have an offset tail stock or are you planning on just moving the center on the existing tail stock? I recommend a second tail stock as you will quickly tire of rezeroing your tail stock after taper operations.

I think this is Ruslan’s first public tournament since the start of the invasion? Quite a run so far.
