Chris, I chuckled reading that, because I can definitely relate to those untimely conspiring things that happen all at once. I just tell myself, "It's a test. You can pass it. You got this." -Sean <-- "got" crazy, is what he got

Uh-oh. Calling all clearys...

Rats, ok, I wasn't looking closely when I assumed "YouTube" for the stats thing. Yes, it's Vimeo that's hosting the video. Meant to say "...can just see Mike checking his Vimeo stats every day" instead. ;) -Sean <-- although he sticks by his inadvertent subconscious recommendation to put it...

No, Robin, it was more a defense. I did take the timing of IAmCalvin's thread to be curiously following on the heels of the timing of my effort, so yes, I did take his thread as calling my effort a "folly." He explained that it wasn't, so all's good on my end. Might want to send the boxing...

Here's what I think happened: the timing of your thread is impeccable for something that "merely wanted to address the naysayers that want to disprove CTE/Pro-1." Impeccable = suspicious. Meaning, the topic of proving CTE/Pro-1 through math had been dead for quite some time. I resurrected it...

Well, let's see if we can take this one in pieces now... Correct. And this is where this post should've stopped, right there. The point of providing any kind of *proof positive* that something works -- and most importantly, why -- is for better understanding. To go one step beyond the...

Yeah, somebody got plunked on the top of his head by a falling apple. :rolleyes: -Sean

Mike is not a "real Texan" either. He's a NY'er (five boroughs or Long Islander type), through and through, even though he'd relocated to Texas long enough ago to pick up a little bit of a lilt in his speech. ;) Again, great video, Mike! -Sean <-- can just see Mike checking his YouTube stats...

"You want a spot? Ok, I'll give you one whole side of the table." :p -Sean

And as Fats would say, that's "triple smart" not to use it. :p -Sean

3andstop: The difference with the 1 - 2 combo, is that all you have to worry about is hitting it accurately. On the other hand, the problem with trying to "WD-40" the 1 past the 2, is your margin of error is significantly less. All that needs to happen, is the 1 touches the 2 (resulting in a...

That's right! When you've truly memorized that table of "reference cuts" (and I mean commit them to muscle memory where they literally jump out at you in table layouts), there is no "having to focus" there. The more you get rid of your conscious mind in these things, the more successful you'll...

I agree. People sometimes get so wound up about shortest distances to a pocket, that they'd opt for less than half a pocket aperture and "sand trap" obstacle balls to get around ("but hey, as long as it's a short distance, right?"). Rather than buckling down on your fundamentals and go for the...

BRussell: The handicapping style you mention in your first paragraph is reminiscent of the one we used in the Boston Billiards' 8-ball leagues (which I used to run, in the now-defunct Danbury, CT branch of Boston Billiards). The intent of that system was couple-fold: 1. It gives a better...

Hmm... very interesting. The race card continues to lose its power in that instance...

Agreed. The table looks like a barbox, and if it is, I'm going at that 14 with vigor. -Sean

He's back -- AZB's own Confucius!

N-i-c-e !! Good job, Stevie. "Movin' on up!" :thumbup2: -Sean

Hi Walt: I don't think Gail was referring to you in this, and I agree with you that folks that decide not to pay taxes on their earnings (winnings, really), should take that on their own head as their own choice -- not to defer responsibility to the league. Rather, I think Gail was referring...

Folks: Just to add some clarity to this, I spoke with Gail (who takes care of the charts for Tony) back when this thread was "fresh," and she offered the following: I'm sure we'll see Stalev moved to the Pro section right after the next update. -Sean
