Can you share why the topic gets you heated?

I don't think it is. And if it did happen, I believe the folks at Salotto would notice.

Sounds good! Maybe that would have been a better response from you earlier instead of being an A-hole with your post. Rock on!

Not really. I can think of times where forfeiting might be a good strategy. If you can't, whatever.

You don't believe there could be such a thing as a strategic forfeit?

50 points is a helluva drop. I've never seen a player drop more than a couple of points at a time before.

When was that compared to when they played their race to 100 and SVB smoked him? As I remember Corey telling the story, he didn't know how well SVB played and thought he was stealing when they set that up.

I think pool is super popular compared to 20 years ago. I do think that kids are getting more involved in other sports (like video games), so there's not much we can do about that.

Handicaps should be there to make it more competitive, not totally fair.

I like that option as well. I will admit that I remember a time where I actually played shape for a jump shot. I was so sure I was going to wind up buried behind a ball and the next ball was hanging near the opposite corner pocket. I felt like I was 98% sure to make the jump and continue my...

I agree pool is niche, but way more popular than shuffleboard.

I wish you were happier.

Don't be so sensitive. I don't think you've offended anyone. It's just difficult sometimes to hear people on here make claims like the one you did and not challenge them on it. It's like when people claim they beat the ghost at some ridiculously high rate. Average pool players don't "know...

That's a fact. I love straight pool, but I'd rather watch any other pool game.

Thanks! My dad snowbirds here in the Phoenix area and Sarge is coming to their park for an exhibition.

You'll probably know the answer to this one... How good is Ken "Sarge" Aylesworth? I get to see his show soon!

If you can find a way to introduce yourself to David Strawn (99% sure that's his name) he might invite you to his place in Panama City Beach. Last time I was there he had a 9' AND 10' Diamond in his man cave. It was sweet!

No. People who are new to pool, or don't try to get better, should be OK with the fact that they're an underdog. If they complain, they're being unreasonable.

"I know all the diamond systems. I hit 80% of my banks now and rising." I'm sorry, but this is where I tuned out. You'd be winning every bank pool tournament in the world.

My least favorite thing about the Derby is HANDS DOWN the announcer for the banks ring game. Is he necessary? I love the relaxed nature of the event, the interactions between the players, the crowd noise, etc. But that guy needs to STFU. He has a comment for literally EVERYTHING and it's...
