The run ends when the game is over... Big congratulations to Thorsten for the great performance. But it is the right thing for the run to end when the match is over. I've posted along these lines before about how really high runs must be performed in exhibitions or possibly match play of...

I knew a man... A friend of mine some time ago...he did like to hit the balls with authority. He would definitely play it as Black Cat shows it. He would also give his personal philosophy..."Hey why use two or three rails when you can use four or five??" He was only half joking and his point...

I remember the Miz from the times when I was playing the Florida Tour. I've mentioned here that watching Willie Mosconi seemed like a glimpse of heaven...and watching Steve Mizerak was right up there. I'm not much on watching anyone play a whole match but I sidled up to the table when the Miz...

That's the second unsuccessful try for me posting pics...just following instructions that others have posted...what am I stupid??...hey don't answer that...anyone want to come over here for a few games of pool...free sandwiches and drinks...and walk me through it??...

Sure...but why?? I've seen some great players use a slipstroke but I've never figured out why they did it...I've asked and it seems that's just the way they learned...doesn't do anything to improve your game...just another moving part that can go wrong if you ask me...

Saint Mike here... I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've never broken a cue. Although I once put on a great show during the finals of a monthly tournament when I broke a 9-ball rack and the ferrule of my sneaky pete broke into a gazillion pieces all over the table. The crowd went nuts. There...

If you can run 16... I don't remember where I heard it...or read it...and it was some time ago...but the thought made an impression on me...that if you can run 16 balls then you can run 100...or 527 maybe... The reasoning is that in order to run 16 balls in straight pool then you have to run a...

vs. Nick Vlahos Being reminded of playing left-handed...I'm reminded of Nick Vlahos...who died too young and who I miss very much... I played a lot of pool with Nicky...some of the most fun I had on a pool table was when I played left-handed and he played one-handed...which neither his cue or...

Check the avatar... I bought this Brunswick Gold Crown five years ago...not sure if it's GCI or GCII...It has ash trays in all four corners and it comes with a skirting that is out in the garage...the skirting is the original color...off white...otherwise it's been painted black... Mike House...

Cool... I don't know much about technology...seems well done with what you're working with...but I get a good feel of the action...I tap my cue for good shots and hold my breath on the shots that just don't drop...looks like everyone is having a great time... I love the music...is that a...

Don't buy too many rocking chairs just yet... Age does matter...we can't do things at 60 like we did when we were 18...However...this is pool, not boxing... When we see the final standings of the IPT at the end of the season...with names like Hall, Sigel, Varner, Hopkins, Martin, Mathews...

I feel so sad... My condolences to the family and friends of OHB. I've enjoyed reading his posts which were always interesting and displayed a man of character and style. He seemed like a man I would like to know and spend some time with talking pool and whatever. And he really won me over...

I've never seen a tournament start on time... lol I've always said that if they didn't cater to pool hustlers by starting tournaments in the afternoon...and finishing each day in the wee hours of the morning...then we would see some different stories. You get a strong player who works and gets...

It's mostly up to you... Some players with seemingly tons of 'natural' ability hit the big time quickly...today we have teenagers competing on the international stage. They obviously haven't put in the time one might think necessary to become great. There is also Del and Lombard...of...

Brief encounter with Cole... I met Cole Dixon only once...I think 1998...I was staying with a friend in a lazy stretch of Florida and Cole came to visit for a couple of weeks...I didn't know who he was for three days lol...he went by a different name...I think he was checking out possible...
