My first pool table when I was a kid was a plywood table from Sears. Then we got a used Gold Crown I played on until I left for college. 10 Years ago I bought a house with a valley in it and played on it up until I got a brand new 7ft blue label this summer. I can't remember playing on any of...

One of the smartest mentors I ever knew once told me, whatever you do, remember that you Work so that you can Live...you never Live so that you can Work. Just something to consider if you like where you live in every way except work...

Too slow! If you come across any 30" 12.4 (or 11.8) piloted pro, you got action!

I got trapped by a guy that said he used to run a pool hall in Pulaski area (I think). Short, stocky Light-skinned black guy goes by the name of Phillip. He was in the place selling cues, I think. He asked me to play some cheap. I wasn't feeling it, but then he asked what it would take to get...

I was a member of something similar many years ago. It was called simply the men's club. Women were not allowed to be members. It was definitely more of a social club, but the basic model may work for a billiards club. There were tiers to the membership with the basic getting you a code to the...

The only problem with kicking out the 3, and the diagram doesn't show it as well, but the cue ball would not fit between the rail and the 3, or if it did it was by a microscopic amount. I was afraid any attempt would send the 3 to nudge the 8 and I lose.

In APA if both players declare they will not try to win i.e. continue shooting safety shots or just giving each other BIH over and over, with no end in sight, it is a stalemate and you re-rack and try again.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug...

If it standstill, ya got plenty of time to throw it in park step out and take care of business.

6 v. 5 (him) I didn't pocket any balls, but tried a couple times getting a ball down around where the 13 was...it was a very tight window where you could pocket a ball while bumping the 8-3 out. I couldn't get to the right spot...the 13 kept hooking me. Thanks for the very good insight. I...

This was what was left after their las BIH... in my head, I am skilled enough that I was going to at least make them kick at it.....this was what my plan was... Unfortunately the shot was so thin, and I technically had to shoot away from the ball, and I am not quite as good in real life, and...

Yes, the previous shot they nudged my 3 just enough to slide by.

Stalemate is best I cam up with as well. This shot on the diagram, I kicked their 13 back down table so they could not use it to nudge the 8-3. Then I bunted the six around, hoping they would make some kind of mistake. When it became obvious they were not trying to make their balls, I started...

Hill-Hill at a tourney this weekend: The 8 ended up in the jaws off the break, and because APA I had to take what I made (solid). I had no balls at the head of the table after the break to try and get the 8 ball out of the pocket, and unluckily for me, after my opponents first shot, he gets...

YEs, the rules changes. The USOC used to mandate that athletes had amateur status, if I recall. Think the Miracle on ice, where we fielded a team of college kids. Now, Basketball, baseball, tennis, volleyball, and most everything else is made up of professionals.

I haven't done what you suggested, but I have done something similar. The first 3 sessions I played league, it was on 9 ft. Gold crown clones. After 3 sessions the bar owner swapped to valleys with Ridgeback rails. It's a fact my BnR percentage was higher on the 9 footers, easily verifiable...

Not to hijack but, it was cool revisiting SamLambert and his goal of playing pro level in 5 years. My bridge has been around 11 inches....I'm 6'4 and play with a 59" cue and my grip is at the end of the cue with my pinkie hanging off the bumper

It does actually resemble APA Big Dawg plaques in our area!

That is a commitment! Kudos to you! I will be pulling for you in hopes that you not only cash, but that your trip is a profitable one!

Not sure where you are going with this, but "Russian" isn't a race, it's a nationality. People have been excluded due to their nationality in professional and amateur events since International competition has been a thing.
