At times, I feel so stupid. All of the 3 word Asian players throw me for a loop, I can't keep track! As an American, I get the Filipino's prowess and names (thanks in great part to Jay). I doubt I am alone, that monster players from Asia seem so foreign. I guess I am a dumb homie. :embarrassed2:

Jerry's failed long rail safety at 121 - 119 was a sob. If that online stinking cue table animator was user friendly, that 3 ball layout would surely yield a dozen educated ways to play it. Congrats to Mike, and also to Jerry, Scott and Matt! Thanks also to Joe, and the many behind he and CSI!

Perhaps our resident stat amballsador ;) AtLarge has the stats, but I'd guess the break and run % in American Rotation is close to ZERO. Call shot 15 ball rotation, are ya kidding me? There's no tougher 15 balls to clear IMO. Way to go Jerry and Mike!

Any updates? Brackets? I can't find it on the site. I missed the stream. How was/is it?

Help! She's fallen and she can't get up! :thud:

If this is a Rick vs Coco thread... I can say 1st hand that Rick is good people. Although he lives a couple thousand miles away, we cross paths every year -The Open, Mosconi or other. I've never met Coco, but he sure takes a lot of ribbing. He types some headscratching stuff at times that...

I'll be pulling for my hometown friend Scott Johnson! He's definitely one of the good guys in pool. Even though he beat me in sessions 1 and 2 - you sob ;) Kick azz brother in this GREAT game! Best of rolls Joe, CSI and TAR!

Happy (belated) Birthday Gene! I'm glad to hear you're feeling better and that soon I'll get the 7 out. :grin-square:

If I were betting my paycheck, I'd lay 3:2 it was a joke hidden inside of a probing riddle.

Thanks for the heads up PT!

The shortened completion of last season is most likely still "in the can" awaiting a suitor. If it doesn't sell, season 2 can't be economically justified, right?

You can go to www.jayhelfert.com to order. It's a series of short stories that uniquely ink some serious pieces of pool history along with humor, danger, insight and bravado. It might be the only book I've read 3 times. :embarrassed2: The story @ an unsuspecting teenage Jay hiding under a...

He's a giant. It amazes me how so many Filipino players came from poor, to often dominate pool. I'm with PT and Kicken. The Magician is at least 10 feet tall.

I'm not familiar with Mr McCumbers book, but isn't that Danny B's "story from the road"? I recently shared my copy of Pool Wars with a good friend (Gosh, I've read it over and over, and kudos to JoeyA) Anyway, my good buddy LOVED it. He wants to buy one, but only if Jay signs it. Jay - do...

recap of last night & this morning (long) the tricycle man got in a little later than expected. we rolled into Breakers approx 8pm, ten 9-footers, one patron passed out @ the bar, and our friendly barkeep Tom. our own private Idaho. we played 2 sets of 10ball.... in short order, there...

not good. thanks for the info. my mother died from a sudden brain aneurism @ 50, after 2 surgeries w/in a week. but that was 1993. medicine has changed, since. my prayers are with Buddy. PINK

Update. Black-Balled claims he got hit with some hail while pedalling his tricycle down Interstate 95. He should arrive in Greensboro soon. I know the line favors him, but this is my home court and he's gonna have to bring it to win my whole $50. embarr-ass-ing pics to follow....

I think I need to work on my negotiating skills.

I only get to abuse BB for one nite, everyone knows it takes 6 months to learn Bonus Ball! Plan is to swing by your house, then Gate City, then Breakers. Thanks for the invite Pat! Some things are imminent w/ the shy woman... I'll try to seat her behind a pillar. ;) Walter won the World...

Str8 - make a deal? You gotta post the dirty details AND pic's too from Reno. I feel blessed to have met so many cool people from AZ, and am so looking forward to meeting BB. Best of rolls!
