Says the gent writing a contracted verb form as if it were a pronoun ;) Well, firstly I'm not "publishing" my writing for money. Are you telling me that if you planned to publish a book, you would not first read it through several times (at least) to make sure it was correct? Or at least pay...

If so, then the APA should get its own forum too. There are so many threads about it.

@Newton: Jeg anbefaler, at du snakker enten norsk (hvilken dialekt spiller ingen rolle) eller engelsk, men ingen tysk :-Þ

"bear" > Bier (!)

Yeah, whole points thing makes it sound like a kind of speed 14:1 without call-pocket and stripes. I wonder why they decided to make it possible to win all racks and yet still lose the match? Maybe so the best potter, rather than the player who got a lucky shot/combo on the 9, would end up...

The potential German-speaking market is ~95 million, so is larger than you think. Add to that many other Europeans, such as the Dutch, Poles, and Danish, who often understand German pretty well. A number of well-known German bands - e.g. Die Toten Hosen, Die Ärzte, Böhse Onkelz, and Rammstein -...

If I remember right, cue sports evolved from a form of golf.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Poolplayers_Association#Nine-ball_Equalizer This description of how to win the game seems totally in contrast with the offical APA rules where pocketing the 9 wins the game. Another question: why are there more Skill Levels in 9-ball than 8-ball?

Why not? Firstly, it's nothing to be ashamed about. Secondly, this poll is totally anonymous, as far as I know.

Please be honest! If many people answer, then we can eventually get some ideas of the average.

Time for a bump on this too

Time for a bump on this!

The Fox Sports channels regularly show pool - women's matches, pool classics, men's Mosconi Cup etc.

Actually, that's not true. Just ask Michael De La Maza. It's one of the things he suggests you practice ad nauseum in his controversial book Rapid Chess Improvement.

Really good read. What came across most for me is how humble Reyes appears to be and how he is doing what he does mainly to support his family. Says a lot about him. Though how you can support 44 people on the kind of money I guess he makes, I don't know!

Seriously. And of course I am aware of those facts. Where did I deny them? But that wasn't the OP's argument, as far as I can see. Are we talking about athletics? I thought we were talking about pool, where physical differences between the sexes matter very little, or not at all. I disagree...

Worth looking at? http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&qi=pP3jfXWBuvuvyuD1B0lFGA,b0R8_0639994776_1:1:3&bq=author%3Dphilip%2520b.%2520capelle%26title%3Dplay%2520your%2520best%2520straight%2520pool

You can get it used for $10.00 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Mind-Pool-Master-Mental-Game/dp/0964920417/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274733622&sr=8-5

I can't believe this thread. And I'm a man. Replace the assertion about women with "Jews" or "Blacks", i.e. "I bet no Jew or Black will make it pass the first round" and the poster would very likely banned from these forums. And it would be deserved. So why exactly is it apparently acceptable...

"Play your best 9-Ball" by Phil Capelle How much do you want for this? What's the year of publication? What condition is it in? Thanks!
