    Added Money Question

    Depends on the tournament. Local tournaments will add $X and try to recoup that money from the food/bar. Basically the same theory across the board. Your example of the US Open, they try to recoup with food, drinks, PPV stream, people paying to watch in person and the vendor booths on site...

    Oscar in big $$$ in Akron Oh

    Everytime I play for 50k, I call those days off sick. I know, I'm weird.

    How do you Aim Off to compensate for sidespin

    I aim the edge of my shaft to the contact point for almost all shots, including when I use inside or outside english. It seems to work very well for me. I always struggled with inside english shots until I started doing this. Now, it's all the same.

    Hmmmm! Someone go teach Florian "Venom" Koehler how to shoot with T.O.I.

    Trick shots don't mean much. I'm not saying they're not hard, they're just different. If you can post a match of his against a strong player, I'd be happy to admit I'm wrong. I'm only guessing by saying he's not a strong pool player.

    Hmmmm! Someone go teach Florian "Venom" Koehler how to shoot with T.O.I.

    How hard would it be? I'm not sure. He seems like a hard worker so I'm sure he could. But he'd need to work on aspects he maybe hasn't ever worked on... I didn't ask why he doesn't enter in a big tournament. I don't care if he does or he doesn't but if he did I'd bet against him doing well...

    Hmmmm! Someone go teach Florian "Venom" Koehler how to shoot with T.O.I.

    From what I've seen, he seem like a 550ish fargo player. So, not close to an A player around here. I'd bet against him cashing in the SBE Amateur open tournament. The two videos you posted are cool but I'd need to see more to say he's anywhere near A speed. I'm sure if he applied himself he...

    Hmmmm! Someone go teach Florian "Venom" Koehler how to shoot with T.O.I.

    Venom is very good as what he does. That is, try over and over to do something very difficult on equipment that favors what he's trying to do. I'd imagine he would. Last very long in a tournament full of B players because that's just not something he does (that I'm aware of). Pocketing balls and...

    The newest Mosconi Cup member!

    Considering the entry is $0 and the prizes are all 5 digits, I think that's ok.

    Gender test for any first place over $199......

    Still, the numbers aren't the same. Of the amount of men who start playing pool, how many of them will be top 10 speed? 1 in a million? What about top 100? 1 in 300,000? I'm pulling these numbers out of my ass but the point is, the odds of becoming a top player, no matter how much you dedicate...

    Gender test for any first place over $199......

    What's to stop this from happening? This could have been happening for years and years and years. But it hasn't been. That I know of, no top player or anyone even close to a top player has changed their sex to make easy money. So, why hasn't it happened? The answer is obvious but apparently not...

    Gender test for any first place over $199......

    And you disagree with someone allowed to compete as a male if they were born female? Should we pull down the pants of every winner of every tournament, just to be sure? If you don't think checking the winner's gender (trans or no) isn't humiliating, then I don't even know what to tell you. If...

    Turning Stone - rip off

    I'm replying to others. That's how a forum works. I didn't take what House Pro said as any kind of warning. If he wants to ban me... have at it. I don't believe I've broken any rules here. If he wants to pull the thread, it's his forum. Go for it. That said, if people say something and I feel...

    That would be very fair. I won't happen but it would be fair.

    You make it sound even more unethical than it is. Don't get into PR.

    Turning Stone - rip off

    Why? The price is clearly stated. Don't like it, don't buy gas. Taking advantage of a situation and profiting off of an unfortunate event is apparently the right way to do business around here.
