    Debating if I should just quit with the expensive custom cues..?

    Recently, I bought and Adam AD-2 cue. As you most likely know, it's a full-splice cue, has some nice veneers, and hits solidly. I paid less than $100 delivered for the cue, brand new. Having played with it for a while, I decided to tweak the cue, and retapered the shaft, cut off the ferrule...

    Got stiffed by TX's top OB Tour woman.

    Sounds to me she might also want to consider anger management classes, or therapy to help her deal with some issues. I've known people who thought that being irritable and disagreeable were positive traits, and that lying could be good for business. Don't think I'll ever match up with her. Flex

    The woman you're talking about is/was a dangerous woman. Obviously, the response I'm suggesting won't work with that kind of person. Best thing is to avoid the person completely. Discretion is the better part of valor. Flex

    Got stiffed by TX's top OB Tour woman.

    Because it's my standard "line" when someone, especially a woman, starts with the filthy mouth stuff. The reaction sometimes is disbelief, sometimes incredible anger. That's why it's important to have a good feel for the situation. If she's dangerous, be sure there is plenty of physical space to...

    Oh yes the man can win in any exchange where the woman descends to using vulgarities of the sort she apparently did. The way to handle it is by saying something like this: "Now that you've descended to the point of using gutter language, I choose to no longer continue this conversation." And at...

    Tips on playin in very humid pool room.

    Be happy you get the chance to play under those conditions, for they can be reproduced in normal poolrooms if the number of players swells. The humidity you speak of is a real bugaboo, yet it is the normal situation in the Philippines, and we can see the players that come out of there can...

    Gambling pool time etiquette - What would you do?

    While that may be the rule in some areas, it's definitely not the case in the places I play in Chicago. I strongly recommend that that detail be specified in advance of playing. I'll insist the time be split; it's never happened to me that the other player has said no to my stipulation. Flex

    New owner at Chicago Billiard Cafe

    This afternoon, the new owner (some 3 weeks now) at the Chicago Billiard Cafe said hello, and introduced himself. At the time, he was speaking with a former owner of the CBC (Augie) and was going over what needed to be done to make the CBC as it ought to be. Looks like they'll be recovering the...

    Please let us know the name of this establishment, and the city, so I'll know where not to drop by if I'm in the neighborhood. Is there any other pool hall in the vicinity? Flex

    Got stiffed by TX's top OB Tour woman.

    Don't you just love the way some posters blithely say words like "pathetic"? Kinda reminds me of Hillary and Bill, both of whom used that word whenever they wished to really put someone down, especially when they didn't have a good argument to directly respond to someone. Flex
