    Keith McCready beats MIKA 8-7 for the HOT-SEAT

    She's not little anymore, she's 24. She's still the best dancer I ever saw. I don't disagree with you, Tims, that he came on awful strong. My whole point was that he came on, gave his opinion which was pretty strong and that's it. I don't think he was lying to make trouble, I just think he...

    Losing is the key to success!

    Very good post. I think you're absolutely correct. I think a player gets to a certain level that is above the pack so to speak, and garners a lot of praise from other players. All this goes to your head and now you don't want to ruin that lofty feeling by losing, especially to the hungry...

    Keith McCready beats MIKA 8-7 for the HOT-SEAT

    My daughter dances and to me she's the most wonderful dancer in the world. I'm being honest when I say that. Is my opinion a little biased? You bet it is! If someone has an obvious axe to grind then I don't think their opinion is necessarily honest either. He said that he started out...

    Elbow drop or not

    I think the pros are at a point where they don't think about whether they drop their elbows or not. They look at a shot, determine where they have to get the cb to go to, and then shoot the shot. If they need the juice requiring them to drop their elbows, they do so unconsciously. That's my...

    Keith McCready beats MIKA 8-7 for the HOT-SEAT

    Oh, and one more thing, congratulations Keith! I've seen you play a couple of times live and have enjoyed watching you. I saw you playing in Reno and a player called a cheap foul on you and you handled it like a gentleman!

    Keith McCready beats MIKA 8-7 for the HOT-SEAT

    I wasn't there, were you? I'm not agreeing with him but I will stand up for his right to his opinion, especially if he was there. I like to hear an honest opinion from people who attend pool tournaments. I definitely don't want people declining to voice their opinions just because they're...

    Frost vs. Sigel

    I watched Billy Palmer beat Scott pretty handily in a 1h tournament race to 4. I know that gambling and tournament play are way different but Billy just looked like he could have beat Scott all night long playing heads up. Billy moved the rock so well it was awesome! I understand Cliff...

    Top pro beating people with a broomstick?

    I saw a guy that is not a top pro beating someone with a broomstick.

    Frost vs. Sigel

    I was watching Scott play one time and a top pro who I will not name made a very similar comment (Sigel's) about Scott's game while watching him play. He just didn't like Scott's game at all.

    Billiards - Texas Hold em

    I didn't see it but I do think this format sounds like it has a lot of potential - I sure hope so anyway! I read about it in the latest edition of BD.

    happy now guys?

    Tims, I think, if I understand him, that he started a thread or post that was a little critical and then other AZers, according to him, jumped on the bandwagon with both feet. He thinks that many of the posters here went a little overboard in their criticism and it's causing him some problems...

    John Schmidt BANNED from Viking Tour

    I just got asked by someone if I would join their team for that tournament. It's in Oroville and takes place at the end of this month. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I'm really surprised because Oroville doesn't have much there besides the dam, at least as far as I know.

    A Pool Players Worse Fear

    Tate, I think you're probably right. I used to wear contacts and go an eye infection. Once you get an infection and have had the lens in your eyes with the infection, those lens are no good anymore because if you put them in, you will ge re-infected. I know because that happened to me. I...

    How would you play this?

    Sorry, my bad, but I do like your style! Sometimes, and this sounds like it was definitely one of those times, you just got to go for the gusto!

    Title: I guess I have to much fun. -OR- Is there honor in Pool?

    When you're playing, it's your responsibility to watch the play so if a foul occurs, you can call it. At the same time, I also feel that your opponent should have the class to call it on himself regardless whether you saw it or not. Unfortunately, this game is not loaded with classy people...

    How would you play this?

    I'm with Fred on this one. I would spin the 14 in the corner, get position on the 10 for the same corner and just run out. Wth, when you're down as much as you were, why go defensive? Show him what you're made of and get out!

    Highest number of rack run in a row in 9 ball.

    I wasn't there so I'm just asking a question here; I heard that Johnny ran the 13 racks for the set and then ran a few more in the subsequent set? Is that incorrect?

    What annoys the most about some players?

    I know this guy that doesn't brush his teeth, ever it appears, and when he talks to you, he gets within inches of your face. I stay away from him and make it very clear that I not only don't want to play him but I don't want him to talk to me either. He has a hygiene problem too - the double...
