SJM, If I remember this correctly, this is the match where Filler decided he hated his carbon fiber shaft, and decided just before the match to switch back over to his wood shaft, but the shaft was actually slightly warped when he took it out of his case.. Some random dude said "gimmee your...

I was talking about the event you mentioned. I figured out it was the Iron City events. You really think I stand a chance in the split bracket, if I practice up some?

Got a link?

Rly? You put me at about 610 (which I think is about right for how I was playing when you saw me), and you've seen me on video beating the ghost 7-3 on a Diamond Pro/Am 4 3/8" table.. I realize that was a single set, and I am likely not a favorite to do that 100% of the time.. But on a...

I was in WA state at Fort Lewis from 95-98, the golden age of pool in the state. Mike Zimmerman, Dan Louie, and J.D. were the best 9 ballers, and Harry Platis was often in action playing One Pocket with some of the better players.. There were a few great Canadians that came down and played in WA...

Oh, sorry. I could have sworn I saw one post outta the blue in one of his threads ub the past week. It might have been someone else responding.

Sorry to bring up the zombie thread, but I got hooked on your posts due to the somewhat amusing level of self confidence... That you've haven't really earned with your results. Let me break it down for you, man... I am currently a 548 Fargorate, due to a couple of bad tournaments here in...

When it comes to online retailers and tracking click-throughs... There really is no "Maybe they think" to it. Any online retailer providing links for advertising dollars, can measure exactly how many sales that particular advertising link provides. They can measure how long the person following...

Thanks for that.. So.. $60.00 a year, and so long as I am playing free Salotto members, I can play as many matches as I want (and submit them to Fargorate), for no extra cost? So long as I am the one to generate the match? I thought it was more expensive/convoluted than that..

So, am I correct in saying that the costs would be? - Me - $50/year + $3 per match Opponents with free account - nothing

But the fact very much remains... The vast majority of active members in NPR ARE old.. And white. And express many of the same views that tend to go with that combination. Comfort with casual racism, etc.

So, not that many matches here in Germany get reported to Fargorate, but we DO have some players with established Fargorates, and Robustness of 400+.. I remember looking at Salotto a few years ago, and it seemed prohibitively expensive, specifically because it seemed like both players had to...

Well, to be fair... Chess operates in JUST this way. There is a wide range of play from ~600 rating to 2800+ rating.. And once the gap opens up to about 400 points, the lesser player literally has ZERO chance to win a single game.. How does chess stay popular? They separate players into rating...

JJ is by far the most knowledgeable commentator we have in pool, and it's not even close. He brings up concerns that I did not even realize were things to be worried about, until he mentioned them. You can tell he has done a LOT of thinking about the finer points of pool.

Some more food for thought: If a particular subforum is so poorly administrated that it gets a reputation amongst fans as a place to stay away from (which AZB NPR forum most certainly has..), then that reputation can result in tarnishing the entire site in that particular person's eyes...

As an IT guy, let me say that if Seybert's is monitoring it's click-thru rate properly, it does not do any good to just "click" on ads, if you don't buy anything. Any online retailer worth it's salt is making it's advertising decisions based on how much actual 'revenue" the partner site creates...

*points to the post one above yours...*

Check out the break at 9:57:40. That's what a good 10 ball break is supposed to look like, 7' or 9'... Not too much off center of table for the CB.. Pop the CB straight back in the center off a solid hit on the 1.. The 2 balls behind the 1 should head towards the side, and the corner balls...

The truth of it is that prolly 5x (or more) the number of people play poker regularly as play pool.. When you have such a difference in participation numbers, there's a lot of room for the dead money to find a level of competition that the pros/shortstops are not gonna be interested in. I doubt...

I think it is simply a matter of attention spans getting shorter across the entire population due to social media and other forms of digital entertainment, so a game that is reliant on running large numbers of balls in one inning, no matter what limitations you put on that, is not going to...
