I'm surprised to only see Parica mentioned once so far. I agree with players mentioned more often like Buddy and Ralph but I think Jose was great at it as well. He said that was what made him more consistent than Efren, avoiding fancy shots.

I've had quite a few such experiences myself. It's why I've become more of a tournament player in recent years. I still love to gamble but I'm much more selective about who I'll gamble against. Keep looking and you'll find a couple good people to play with. As for those who aren't just don't...

I don't know how many of you have played on an 8' table with big pockets but it's so much easier. In my opinion any 400 ball run on a 9' table is considerably more impressive. I've run over 200 on both sized tables and I rarely talk about the run on the 8' table because it just seemed so easy...

He's either 28 or 29. he's sure came a long way from me giving him the 5 and the break or 10-6 about 8 years ago. I can't beat him at rotation anymore and the one pocket hasn't been close for a couple years. He's a talented guy.

I was afraid to lift and hadn't for about 14 years until moving to FL and seeing how big Donny Mills is now and how he's playing better than ever. I don't think his experience is the acception to the rule either. I just think he's stuck with it long enough that he's conditioned his body to...

Thanks easy for posting the AI clip from utube, that's good stuff. I can't speak for everyone but I think as a general rule players practice a lot when they are new to the game and less as they become good at it. There was a period of time when I used to practice about 60 hours/week but now...

I doubt I'll be able to make it to the first one but I look for tournaments to play in that region so I have an excuse to visit with some friends and family. I love the idea of the different level players having different entry fees as I've seen it work well in NY/NJ. How much of each persons...

Besides the pressure another reason that everyone misses is lack of focus. The champions seem to stay focused more than everyone else but even they take a shot for granted occasionally.

Hammer Heads monthly ten ball. $30 entry, races to 7/5, 1000 added based on 32 players. Played on 9' diamonds. Starts at 1pm. This tournament takes place every 2nd sat of the month. We also have 8/9 ball every first sat. Same entry fee and added money.

I'm good. Just playing on the poison tour tomorrow. I won their poison tournament when I got back to Florida 3 weeks ago. I think playing all the good players up there in NY right before that got me in stroke.

When its over can someone please post the results/pay outs with out including any Calcutta money. Looking at previous results from this tour I'm only finding results with Calcutta money included. Thanks.

Hammer Heads Billiards in Holiday FL is having an 8/9 ball tournament with 1000 added based on 32 players. 30$ entry. Races to 7 in the winners 5 in losers. Each set is half 8 and half 9 ball. Registration is at noon with free practice until 1pm start time. Played on 9' diamonds. This...

The Wednesday evening tournament at Strokers in Palm Harbor is the best weekly event in the area. They have 1 diamond, 2 brunswicks, and a bunch of robertsons (not very good). The best tables are at Hammer Heads in Holiday 15 min north of there. 10 diamond bar tables, at least ten 9' diamonds...

Orcullo, corteza, pagulyan, bustamante, alcano, manalo, gallego, kiamco are probably all favored over any American as are yang and chang and probably several others from Taiwan. I do think Johny has proven he is still the best American player and he can compete with those guys when on like...

You said it was to be named after the president so name it after him and drop whatever to make the wpa happy. I'd like to play no matter what you call it bacause you've got a good amount of money in it. That's by far the most important thing.

If you really are an amateur giving up that spot to pros even a 15 ahead won't take that long and you'll get plenty of takers if it's for any decent amount of money. Please be sure to pencil me in.

Is this pools version of the economic stimulous package? If so, I want in. I really don't know how to answer your question since I really don't understand what you're plan is but in general I wish people would just stick to races and lengthen them according to the bet. In the phillipines i...

Bob's brother Tom wasn't a tournament player but was one of the best money players in Maryland for many years. About 4 years ago we played some races to 9 even and I came out a couple of sets ahead but I didn't win every set and he was in his early 60's then if I'm not mistaken. A few years...

I just wanted to say that the biggest difference between 9 and 10 ball has to do with the break/rack. It's about the wing ball being so easy to make in 9 ball unless the rack is bad so 9 ball becomes more of a racking contest than anything else when good players are involved. The ten ball...

A-feared-a a-feared-a black-balled? Ok, I'll b honest. I'm a bit a-feared-a Johny. Even though I've beaten him 9-1 twice he's up 14 matches to 8. That didn't keep me from sending my entry in though. Kim, corey, schmidt, and hillbilly are great players as well and I'm sure a couple more...
