With all due disrespect, if you have played in previous tournaments of the APA on shoddy equipment, and you showed up at this one expecting something different, the APA isn't the problem.......for those where this was a first time surprise, learn from your mistake. VOTE with your dollars...

Crawfish would have gone old school and stabbed Hank.....I miss the old days....

I play bad pool with my own cue, house cues, broom handles, or cues of my buddies :D IMHO, if you believe you gotta have your cue, then you gotta have it.....if you believe you can play pool with any cue, then you can.....90 percent mental, 10% equipment, just like the rest of the game...

I love the topic of gloves, always reminds me of this quote: "You know, I've tried all sorts of moisturizers. I even went fragrance free for a whole year. Now my sister, she uses some kind of uh... uh... uh... uh... aloe vera with a little sunscreen in it, and ideally, we should all wear gloves...

396th, just sayin

Integrity......what's that.....some kind of alien language???? Surely you've been here long enough to know better :D People can do whatever they want....cheat....steal.......there will be a group here to defend them.....I find it best to just keep a mental note on their character and move...

Whether it's a game for $10 or $10,000, either is too cheap for me to sell out my character.....people can gamble and be gentlemen, regardless of the cost.... Hank Williams Jr. had a great song called Attitude Adjustment.....the gist - some people need a beating to get them back in...

Posted a similar thread recently, got some good feedback....I found a little bend in my back leg helped a lot... http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=217830&highlight=back

Truth be told, if I was your opponent and I had already conceded the game, I would have told you myself to mark it as a win......this actually happens a lot more often than you think......the other guy concedes, you let your guard down, bang the ball in, and scratch.....and then the arguement...

Like Dan said, at least one or two of the 9 footers are usually open, and there is always action on the 9 footers.....when league is over a little after 10pm, usually league peeps match up also.....mostly cheap stakes, but it's fun when it gets mouthy :D My team plays on table 1 and 2......we...

Rusty, your original post seems spot on and far from a rant.....handicap, by design, should basically give the 50/50 split you explained....if it's an ongoing league with a bunch of regulars, everyone should know everyone elses speed.....handicaps should be no surprise....most people that have...

Thank you all so much.....it was a great birthday, got to spend a relaxing day with the wife.......you are all too kind....

Eric, I always like chatting it up with you and enjoy your posts.... If you decide to leave, keep my home email and stay in touch, jason@cowtownjeeps.com All the best, whatever you decide....but I think you should stay.... Oh, and I feel for you on the back thing, it sucks....

Wether it's a couple of local bangers or watching some heavyweights really battle it out.....if they are going for shots, playing their heart out, and putting together an impressive display of shotmaking, I can watch it on TV or in person for hours.....I love the game...... If it's a bunch of...

Gawd these threads wear on me :( Yes, let's take out everything but perfection.... 1. You must call a ball on the break 2. You much call any touches on another ball 3. If you hit the edge of the pocket you must call that 4. If you hit the rail before the pocket, you much call it 5. If...

Arizona pool drama.......this has been missing for too, too long.... Continue please :grin:

Ok, so if they were told the minimum was secured and the money would be paid, then the promoter clearly lied.....sounds like the promoter either lied to try and dray the needed 32, or they did not "secure" the funds from the 32 as they advertised..... If I came from a good distance, either...

This....if you love pool and are hard up for action because nobody will play you, and you are basically better than everyone, and somebody offers to play you even and donate early......why not take it? Dude = nit

If Tim is right at he just posted, you will be able to do 170 matches during that time if you trim down Thursday.... Good luck.....not sure if I helped, but I tried :grin:

My head hurts, so my math might be off :grin: 5 tables x 18 hours (10am-2am) x 4 days at 1.5 hours a match = 60 matches a day....seems very doable....with double elim and 90 players, I would think you can finish in 240 matches, but I have been wrong before and often :grin:
