Looks like a great shot to me. No peyote, just a great stroke.

If you cue to hit off center but hit center instead, there is a chance you can miss the shot. Are those chances generally better if you aim for center, but hit slightly off? I guess it depends on the shot and the player. I understand the overcut aspect to leave a safe, but not aiming for one...

The last time I saw this type of desire was from Jeanette Lee in her amateur days. We all know what happened with that, so good luck Rhea!

Well if the guy really harps on lowering the spot, I would think he wasn't really a road player. Just a guy looking to make his 200 back. In which case, I'd lower the spot. If he wins it all back and you still cant decide, at least you should get your original spot back.

Lots of good answers here. But yes, this stuff is unfortunately common. What I like to do when someone wont stfu, is just stand there when its my shot. When someone notices you aren't shooting, just keep waiting. If they still don't get it, let the crowd know you will shoot when whoever it is...

Sounds like a great idea to me. Has to be better than an arm wrestling show!

Even at one pocket, 4 games doesn't tell very much. The road player probably didn't show too much. Anybody who walks into a strange place and hands out weight, has to be better than that. Then again, who knows how much of his game JoeyA showed. Maybe he was over his head spotting Joey. If I...

Its up to the house man to reserve house tables for players. So in a way you would be in the right, and the house man would take the blame. Still, it wouldn't take long for you to gain a bad rep amongst others around the room.

In a pool room, there are rules that only pertain to regular players. Regulars playing on house tables are required to give up their tables to gamblers. Happens often, for any short race for $20. The house man is blamed when non regulars wont give up their tables. The gamblers may even prod the...

Sorry if I'm not as up on pro pool as you are, or if I don't read every post. Bob, please excuse my uneducated comments. I bow down to your pool knowledge and excellence.

Ok ok, I didn't know that. Jeez, you guys don't hafta get all snooty on me.

Sure, anybody with cash on the line would want to see their horse run. But, I think Darren said he lives in the US now. Clearly, it was wrong of the US team to say Europe cant play for money. That was just frustration talking, but still uncalled for. I also agree with what most have said...

I don't see why they didn't play 10 ball. That way nobody can complain about easy-out breaks, or lucky rolls.

I don't blame Earl for the loss. I just wish he would have represented the team with better sportsmanship.

We all knew what we were risking when we put Earl on the team. If anything, blame those who put him in there.

Pool thrives here in Queens too, so I know what you mean, Maniac. That's great for us, but big cities just aren't enough. You hear about rooms closing up all the time. The times of "making it" in the pool room business have become dependent on liquor, food, and how attractive the staff is.

Bar owners know about pool tables, they have made their decisions. Rec. centers would be great, but I've only seen them in gated community settings. Schools, wishful thinking. Its sad to say, but we all know pool is in a desperate state. First we need organization, someone to calculate...

Shes in good hands with Jerry T. My favorite restaurant around there is Spain, on 13th street around 8th ave. I can just taste the seafood mariscada with green sauce!

Earl is the man! Thanks felice!

I just use the magic eraser, no wax, no sandpaper. The eraser is so easy to use, takes 30 seconds to wipe down, then dry it and I'm done. If my hands get sweaty I use finger slides instead of gloves. Keeps the cue cleaner, and I can feel the rest of my hand. http://www.cuezctc.com/
