Ooo ooo ooo!! Add me to the list! Was the very first thing I thought of. When I look across a pool room and see someone leaning heavily or sitting on a pool table. Really, c'mon, steel pipe to the knees for you. I even cringed one time when I was at a party in a local lodge and someone thought...

I had green and tourney blue and currently have olive because it matches my Connelly well. Having Simonis in the first place is a step in the right direction. However, red cloth should really be banned. Walking into any pool hall and seeing red cloth lets me know the owner doesn't know anything...

Will this match be on Ustream? There's no Final Four games on Sunday so I need something to watch.

The tournament is on regulation "real" sized tables, as are the qualifiers. The last year I entered, I qualified for Atlanta as the host location moves around every few years. Mr. Cue's in Atlanta? Can't quite recall the name of the pool hall, but I know Archer stopped by one day to check out...

I can attest to this being a fun league. At least it is something new & innovative based on an old time practice technique. My fatal flaw is not focusing and committing enough time to be a better player. I see no issues with pool until I can successfully string long racks and consistently beat...

Hanks is fine at night and located near a busy intersection. As mentioned, lock your car and hide your valuables, common sense stuff in just about any part of the town.

No. There are those who don't pay attention without the headphones. I'm sure I'm guilty of it a time or two or three or more. The issues I have had is the shooter becomes oblivious to some table manners. They get in their groove not paying attention to the tables by them, maybe interfere with...

I have no problem saying something twice but if I'm repeating myself continuously, then it's an issue. And this isn't about hearing disabilities, it's about people wearing headphones listening to music. I'm not talking to the person while they are actually in the process of shooting, it's the...

I find them disrespectful to the game and I shouldn't have to repeat myself twice, which ends up being repeated 3 or 4 or 5 times before the lout wearing the headphones understands I'm speaking to him/her. If the wearer sees their opponent speaking to them, then it's already too late. Wearing...

Don't disagree with that but I find it more satisfying & crowd-pleasing jumping with a full cue since everyone and their mother has a short stick now. Just choke up on the full cue and it's not too much different. If the jump is tight, then I just go with the kick to try and emulate Efren...

Definitely Side Pockets if you need to shoot on a 9 footer. Although, I wish I knew about the place Scott mentioned when I was out in Wichita last. Many of the other places I went to I was not impressed with.

Small or big tables? Just curious. Any tournaments on Friday or Saturday night? Big tables preferably.

I'll be there tomorrow thru Sunday but I'm not local talent. I am looking for somewhere to play and none of the other people with me are pool shooters. Which place have you scoped out to play at?

My main dislike like others is waiting on your opponent to start your match because they can't be found or have to go outside for a smoke break. That's got to be the most voted on dislike. I also dislike the pool turkey that shows up, still plays by bar rules, and spends most of the time...

Avoid Big Break Billiards and Woody's Billiards. I didn't have a good experience with either of them. They are adequate if you are looking for mediocre service. However, it's been a few years since I used either of them, so the hope would be that they have improved in their services. I can't...

Hmmmm. I guess you never have seen all of those Tiger highlights through the years where he buries his head into his hands or his hat for a second or two and then looks up with an embarassed grin or laugh for being guilty of a lucky shot. The thing about luck is the best players have a tendency...

Hopefully the folks that run the Derby City don't take all of the comments too literally and get emotional about it. There appears to be some improvements that can be made, but perhaps not many. For me, I haven't been to Derby City yet but it is on my high list of "stuff to do". It sounds like...

The end result is no one is going to remember this much except for Adam. Not saying it's right or wrong, but life will go on. The after-effect to the Derby City will be minimal from this event but hopefully it has been noted and next year with the computer system will resolve it. Personally...

I have a friend who wanted to join Melissa Little's 10-ball league. She was trying to get a couple of nights started at Charlie's and stated that the owner was intending to be open on time for her leagues. However, when my friend spoke to her, it seems that the owner of Charlie's was now telling...

Table maintenance and care is actually more aggravating. First and foremost for all players above everything else in pool, respect the table. If there are hooks for the rake and the rack, then use them and deal with the circumstances. It's way more frustrating watching some putz toss the rake...
