    RIP Tommy Brown of Browns Billiards Daytona Beach, FL

    This is very sad news. Brown's Billiards was my favorite place to play on the Florida Tour...and one big reason was Tommy. He ran a sharp tournament and played in them most of the time. I very much enjoyed the matches we had. I knew that he would always give his best and was always a...

    Run This (67)

    I don't see the need to go fooling around trying to move the 1-ball...that's just looking for trouble...it's fine where it is. The 7-ball is fine where it is too...I would pop that in right now to the upper right corner...then shoot 4,10,6,3...and I expect to have a good angle on the 1-ball...

    What's the ruling

    I'm not so sure... First of all...the key here is 'cue ball fouls only'... Actually first of all...I don't know why one would play this shot... Okay...if the 6-ball did not interfere with the cue ball on its way to the carom on the 8-ball, I do not see a cue ball foul. My ruling is there was...

    TAMPA BAY players- ???

    I might take a shot now and then... If there was a monthly 1-day tournament for AZ players in Tampa I might make it now and then...on a Sat or Sun... I haven't been playing but for a few racks here and there at home but it seems like a good way to meet AZers...and hey maybe pick up an...

    Unethical or Just Lucky?

    Laws against exploitiation of elderly persons... This scenario, which may or may not be true, is unethical at least...and maybe illegal. If the woman, family member, or friend found out about it and she decided to press charges, the dealer might need a good attorney... In Florida, and I...

    An Appeal for a sponsor or two.

    Hi Ming... Nice to see you posting here...I haven't been playing much and don't get around like I used to...but when you make it to Capone's or somewhere near Orlando I'll stop by to say hello and cheer you on... And let me add to the discussion about Ming's talent...it wasn't too too long ago...

    How'd you shoot the 5?

    I'm drawing for the 6 in the corner... That 6 in the side is no gimme...and it's on the wrong side for the 9-ball...I'll draw the cue ball for the 6 in the upper right corner...a much easier shot than the 6 in the side...with natural position to get closer to the 9-ball... Even if you are way...

    breathing & pool stroke

    I had to think about it... It was one of the best moves ever put on me when I was on a straight pool run against Johnny Marco...and asked me if I was breathing in or out when I hit the cue ball... Excepting a physical limitation...the last thing you need to be thinking about is your...

    cool pool room names

    Mike's I was a partner then owner of a room up north called Cue & Billiard Lounge...I never did like the name...I couldn't wait to become sole owner so I could rename it "Mike's Pool Hall"...I thought it might scare off some people...then I thought that I would settle for "Mike's Place"...and...

    Do It For The Game...

    I read Bob Campbell's book...Do It For The Game...it reminded me of the old days back in New England...(a la WONDERBOYS if you don't mind my inability to not throw out a shameless plug)...anyway we were in slightly different areas but there were real similarities in the flavor of the location...

    Why is it OK to Climb on Top of the Table?

    Boston Shorty... If you add up the time Shorty spent with his whole body completely on the bed of the table...it would add up to years...and he also had good control with a very long distance between his bridge hand and the cue ball...also good left handed. Funny thing is he didn't seem too...

    What keeps us coming back?

    Golf can make you wonder too... You're playing the worst round of your life wondering why you ever bothered to inflict so much pain on yourself...and on the 18th fairway you hit the sweetest 6-iron to a few feet from the pin...and tell the guys...well I guess I'll see you next week. Mike

    Trivial topic for discussion

    Leave it in... Lol history is on my side...I hit the break shot harder than most people I've played...so I think the missed break shot that goes four rails and in was done by me more than by my opponents. Nevertheless...as a point of rule I think a little luck is not a bad thing...keep it as...
