    I'm Calling Out Jay Helfert...

    Besides the idea of breaking the book up in a series, I was thinking of some other things. I really found the ever changing font style of Dennis Rodman's book quite a joy to read. It was almost like reading on here with some words big, bold, font changes and so forth. It really kept me reading...

    Looking for Jimmy Mataya Info

    I wish I could remember the year (it was in the early 80's), he made the very funny video How to Hustle and Not Get Hustled with Danny Medina. I am sure if you email him, you might get some good, first-person information.

    "The GosPool" by Freddie Bentivegna

    Yes, both of his books ROCK. I can't imagine owning one without the other. It is a great concept too. Where else can yo get great banking instruction and great stories inter-twined like this. Being a younger guy, these books really let me get a feel for how it was back then. Some of the stories...

    No pool, for how long?

    I took just under 5 years off after college trying to get a job I liked and did the wife and kid thing. I haven't stopped again since then. :)

    I'm Calling Out Jay Helfert...

    How about: Sweating the Rails - What Really Happened When: and then you can name each section or chapter to fill in the blank. It will cause intrigue on each chapter or section. Plus, if you have enough material, you could make more than one book out of it by putting the dates and so forth...

    Brother, you were not the worst player, you just took the biggest hit this time around. That's all. Please! I know our match was real tight. I was sweatin' it for sure! Although when the Trophy reads: AZBillards Fort Worth Get Together Almost 2nd To Last How can you not sport such...

    mnShooter: Those things are a real pain for straight pool, IMO. Plus you can't keep score as high, and sometimes the wheels will stick together. I like the "beads in a box" much better! Joe, I have used mine twice already and I really like it. Tell Beth she rocks! I did stick a little velcro...

    What A Great Time! Yeah, the format was grueling! Race to 2 8-Ball. Race to 5 9-Ball. Tie 1 Game of Short Rack Banks There is such a difference in these 2 games that we had about 35% of the matches go to the Banks! It turned out to be quite exciting. Although it took so long to complete all...

    Good timing. They actually just replaced a bunch of house cues last week. Even though I have not been using them, they can't be that bad if they are brand new. So you should be OK.

    SO right now, we have 6 committed (or at least should be) players. If we end up with more than we thought, we may have to split up some table time between the entire group.

    Does anyone have a 12 person double elimination tourney chart they can bring?

    Portable counters

    If you go for the three row idea like I suggested, here are some ideas for longevity of use. You want the 14 bead row where they are the easiest to get to since they will be used most of the time. Plus, as I was thinking about all of this, string and even wire will give after a while, I...

    http://forums.azbilliards.com/showpost.php?p=305997&postcount=11 Here is how I solved the current rack count problem with the slider counter....maybe you could do the same thing. You only need 14 beads, as it works for both players at the same time. BTW, by doing one strand for the current...

    I do tease Samiel about that day we played. Samiel can be beat. He is a good player, but not untouchable. Sorry if I keep building you up brother, but you do play much better 14.1 than I do. :) Maniac, first off, I don't expect to win anything. If I did, I would just be buying a round with it...
