As with most polls around here this one is flawed all to hell and back. You should have included: None of the above; and All of the above. Try to be more careful next time. :smile: P.S. Also for consideration: Some of each of the above.

About a year ago I began seeing double. Needless to say my pool play took a nose dive. I was diagnosed as having acquired Myasthenia Gravis, a neuro-muscular disease that attacks the signal from the nerve synapse to the muscle causing it (the muscle) to weaken. In the beginning the ocular...

I'm the same way around pretty young girls, Johnnyt. I don't know whether to shit, or go blind. As soon as I clean myself up I'm heading for the Optometrist. :D

I apologize for not reading all the previous replies, but my take on the OP's question is this: There is strategy involved in both pastimes, obviously, but more so, in chess. However, I believe pool is much more difficult to master because of the necessity for a dead straight stroke. Again...

For me it was "Two Tooth" Sally Bimstien, may she rest in peace. She taught me that no matter how hard you try, there's always someone out there who's still gonna shit all over you. Sally suffered from CED, you know. :rolleyes:

From all of us here in the great state of Missouri, to the good citizens of these United States. Happy Thanksgiving, and may God bless each and every one of you. And, to all of my friends here on AZB. Enjoy the Holiday, and be careful driving home come Sunday. :wave2: Tramp.

Andy, and Vicki, have been friends of mine for many years now. They are fine, fine, folks. After all this time, and Lord knows how many cues, I guess it's time they began looking at a semi-retired lifestyle, and I certainly can't blame them. Andy was my mentor, back in the day, as Bill Schick...

Congratulations. You have every right to be proud of him, and him of you. :smile:

Learning various systems isn't going to un-stall your game. Give Scott Lee a call. He's the best player mechanic I know of. :)

Or, on his way to the hospital. :D

I tend to agree with Bank it, here. It's in the old Levi's (genes). It's almost impossible to turn yourself into bad-ass killing machine when, for most of your life, you've been a good natured, live and let live, regular Joe. But, then why would you want to be something you're not? In...

This, my friends, is the way it should be. Well done, lakeman. :clapping:

Some folks prefer the feel of bare wood (I know my second wife did; naw, just kidding), others like wax. Chris Hightower sells some very good cue wax, as well as a cleaner. It's best when used with a lathe, but doesn't have to be. Give him a call at: Cue Man Billiard Products. Tell him Tramp...

Playing pool is the cheapest (low cost) endeavor I've undertaken. I don't have a table at home simply because (and like many here) I don't have the room for one. I use a cue that I made several years ago, but if I didn't there are several models of Schons that I have had over the years that are...

Do you have any idea what the odds are of this happening? Gotta be at least 50/50. :)

A little pricey, but probably not much. I used to get ten bucks for installing a LePro, and that was eleven years ago. In today's dollars your figures could be worse. :smile:

Oh, I agree with you. He's got to be playing better now that he's married. Everyone knows that marriage brings out the best in a man, right? I mean look at all your friends who are married. They're all docile, peace loving guys, who wouldn't say shit if they had a mouthful. And, why should they...

I do not think Cavemen played pool. They were much too busy hunting and gathering, and making Cave Babies. I do think, however, they drank heavily, and smoked. :eek:
