That's a good question. I'd love to see Fargo answer this.

Filipino Gene was kind of a Northern California legend back in the day! I had forgotten all about him.

Many chip tournaments going on around the country are doing races to 1. It's actually inspires a lot of Facebook complaining.

What's your Fargo?

Read a lot of the comments on streaming matches. They're always like "he should go two rails with this shot", when anyone who runs out knows that shot isn't there. The OP is right that everyone sees the game differently. Some people have no clue what they're looking at or even what's possible.

This situation happened at Derby a few years go. The balls were re-reacked and he broke again. Not sure if it has changed since then, but I like the rule.

We don't have Calcuttas out here in AZ, but we do usually have lots of side pots. The main purse is made up from all of the (for example) $50 entry fee. Then you'll have the opportunity to enter a separate one, two, or even three side pots for various amounts, and usually a "winner take all"...

The six I named were the only ones on the list.

6 according to the Fargo website. Chip, Joey, Shane McMinn, John Gabriel, Billy Dyke, and Greg Hogue.

Post it for everyone to see.

Maybe they've learned by now.

Where are people saying it's impossible to cheat Fargo? I don't think I've ever seen that.

I think he lost 22 matches in a row. Mike said he went two and out in 11 consecutive tournaments.

I haven't seen a thread on this here yet. I saw a Facebook post from Mike showing a high-rated player from OK going 2 and out in his last 11 tournaments to players "hundreds of points" below him. The games all got removed and the venues are also suspended from entering data for now. Way to go...

No one plays straight pool anymore, I doubt you'd fill the bracket.

It also depends on who you're playing and how much you want to win. I'm not really a patient guy, but nowadays on these diamond bar tables, the balls open pretty good no matter what break you use.

If you can guarantee a ball would be pocketed and no scratch, everyone would break that way. If I'm playing a sub-600 for my life, I'm going 2nd ball all day.

I think it depends. If I'm using a template, I'll break head on as hard as I can stay controlled (maybe 70%?). ANY OTHER TIME I use the second ball break. I feel I am more likely to make a ball, and less likely to scratch. Remember a wide open break totally backfires on you when you either...

Oh stop it. I'd take ANY house cue over the $16.99 special at Walmart. I posted in a local Facebook page that I'd play SVB even if he had to use the cue I purchased from Walmart. The tip is like cardboard...

I disagree. I guess it depends on your definition of "stronger players". I want open tournaments all day every day.
