    smoking in a pool hall?

    Yes, there are legal businesses that offer: prostitution poker machines hit men to dine abortions weed sell materials to make bombs/explosives And if I don't want to go to those business, I go elsewhere.....there are plenty of business that exist that I don't agree with, so I don't go there...

    smoking in a pool hall?

    Sure, here are my thoughts.... I don't like smoke in a pool hall.....I don't like to smell like smoke....it bothers my eyes after a while.....I prefer not to play where there is smoking......I do enjoy an occasional cigar, but typically that is outdoors on my patio or someone elses, enjoying a...

    Real what would you do here??

    Neil, I'd go for the hit....in your picture, I'd go to the bottom rail where the 4 is.....I'd hit that first dot, just below the 4, and juice up a lot of left english to bring it back towards the 1.....with a little luck, I get a legal hit....if I juice it up a little much, I still knock the 2...

    I Hate It When My Shaft Turns Blue...

    My bigger concern is the blueing of my balls.....the shaft, not so much..... Best habits to keep up... Remove chalk before you store it in the case When chalking, keep the cue horizontal and brush it over lightly Clean it every couple of months Those three things together should keep your...

    APA policies in your area...help me understand

    I respectfully disagree... Standard APA - rule dispute almost every match APA Masters - rule dispute once a season, but very rare... BCA - I can remember 1 rule dispute, but I'm sure there are a couple more....and that is over 2 years.... Mark the pocket Approved pocket markers Approved cue...

    APA policies in your area...help me understand

    When I played APA, it sucked and I wanted to kill myself.......ok, maybe I didn't want to die, but the petty rule disputes wore me out :D Yes, you are appropriately frustrated....

    Bad Blood?? Strickland & Archer with possible bonus.

    Greatness.... Or you could go college-style and shave the entire left side.....facial hair, eyebrows, and hair of just one side :D Git it done Mark, can't wait....

    What's up with EXHIBITIONS?

    Actually, I think with the right players, an exhibition could be much more fun to watch......I would think the players could be more fearless, more likely to take a shot at a flier, and more likely to put together some nice packages.....instead of going for a safety in a tough spot, I'd rather...

    JA asked me to post this, He wants to play Darren for $50,000

    Lots of good ideas here..... I vote for this one: 5 set lock, $10k a set paid at the end of each set, races to 15.....races that are long enough to pay the better player, but short enough to keep our attention :D Eric, hope this goes off man, would be a blast....instead of East Coast, they...

    Bad Blood?? Strickland & Archer with possible bonus.

    Mark, I really like the format......good idea on the different games, like the idea of an all around champion.... And yes, if it's going to be taped, a max 30 second clock is a good idea.... Good luck, hope it happens.....wish you would bring it to Dallas :D

    Do you even like pool? Did Jay steal your lunch money? Is the sky falling? WTF? The negativity is strong with you young jedi :grin:

    The U.S. Pro Pool Tour

    Jay, I think you have a great idea, and your dollar investment is right on target.... My thoughts to success: 10 month season, 2 tournies a month, in major metropolitan areas......this way you have 20 events, with 2 weeks between each one for travel time..... Pick major areas and try to host...

    Integrity Lost/ Jump Cues

    According to onepocket.org, you can jump, but only with your playing cue.....I'm guessing it's the same with 14.1 - I tried to look it up but could not find it..... I use a break cue....there are still plenty of old schoolers around that think that you should break, jump and do everything with...

    Integrity Lost/ Jump Cues

    If I remember right, jump cues are not allowed in 14.1 and 1 pocket....besides, you can hit any ball on the table, so why jump??? I will say I agree with you 100%....don't like jump cues, never will......I was taught to jump with my playing cue, so that is what I do....or I kick if the jump is...

    "Ideas on how to improve our great game"

    This....safeties get people changing the channel....that, and slow play.....on top of the genius TV producers that somehow flash from game 2 to game 5..... Oh, and for the record, poker sucks.....it's boring.....if you want something more exciting, deal drugs.....real money, real excitement...

    Just your opinion

    IMHO, this is like the New England Patriots showing up for the High School playoffs......it's classless.....they guy could have at least cut it up, as is custom in this tourney.....sounds like the old guy gave him a run for his money.....or, more likely, the pro laid down a couple of games to...
