I'm with you. Always strong players at Amsterdam, and easy to get a friendly game.

For players and real fans, you're right and the full matches could be made available online. But look at how golf is shown on TV. Watching the full 18 holes would have mountains of dead time, so they cut from group to group to fill the dead time, and mostly show the action. 1P could be done the...

I go back and forth on this. TV matches would be edited, so slow play, over-thinking, and protracted late game safety battles would be heavily condensed. The early and mid-game safeties are much more fan friendly--more caroms, pinball shots, kicks, multi-rail shots, etc. I think it could be into...

Wow, strong play by Adam. I feel better now about him knocking me out of the winners' side. Funny thing is, I watched Darren running over him on Sunday morning, so it shows real heart to come back and get the big win. When I left, I think Darren was up 2-0 or 3-0, so I'm not actually sure if...

Mitch (MktBank) posted elsewhere that he saw confirmation on facebook that the tourney is on. I can't guarantee that you'll see Hopkins or Pete, but you will at least have the opportunity to see me missing shots and selling out!

Also, Triple-9s: http://tripleninesbarandbilliards.com/. I haven't been there but I've heard good things.

One year at the Vegas 3-man Masters Tournament, we named our team "Table 7". It had the desired effect of creating chaos in humor when the matches were announced on the loud speaker: "Ball Busters vs. Table 7 on Table 42". Another year, we delegated submitting the entry form for that same...

Thanks for the review! Are they 9' blue label Diamond tables? I don't know of a pool hall in the Greater DC area that has those.

100% true if you're matching up, but much less so in a tournament race setting. There, luck can save him, and sometimes does. It's the nature of 9-ball, not APA. It happened to me yesterday: a guy got out with two total slops shots out of 5 total shots to win the hill game. Not much you can do...

Yes, the Make it Happen tournament, as I type. SVB vs. Efren playing with this rule.

Depends on the what you need. For a tip, cleanup, or other basic maintenance, try Vyc. He's at Hi Cue (NW corner of Columbia Pike & George Mason) on Thursday nights. He can do it onsite, you don't have to leave and come back. At last check, Danny Green lives pretty far from Arlington.

Who won the Superbowl that year?

18 years is suspiciously close to how long it takes to clear the house of kids. Which part of NOVA are you in now? BB's (BFE past Dulles or something) or mine (closer in)? In any case, welcome back to pool!

Do you understand what "70%" means?

I have to say, that's a really powerful break if the 1 goes in half the time or more! That assumes that Cory is allowed to put the 2 ball into one of the corner spots every time he breaks.

I've got a regular 1P opponent at Amsterdam when I visit NYC. He says that my trips are basically the only time he gets to play the game because everyone there just plays 9-ball. I played the houseman at Society some 1P as well. He was good but also said that he was mostly a straight pool...

I think Teacherman did exactly that: offered to host and add $5k. Hopefully he's on the very short list for 2017 and the word can get out earlier.

Weird, my non-inflammatory post seems to have disappeared. In any case, here's the gist. I'm going slowly through the book so I'm only about 1/4 through it. I've learned lots of good general 1P thoughts and I've already learned two specific new shots that are likely to be valuable. One of...

I was there a few weeks ago on a Sunday night. Tables played very nice and I think there were more than 7 tables. But there were no serious players there, but a fair number of social players. I asked the counterman if there were any one pocket players and he said not often. It's BYOB, too...
