In that scenario I wouldn’t tip the TD. How they get paid varies a lot around the country.

I went on the road briefly with him (we had the same backer) a few years after this match. He was quite a character. Always looking to get the action going.

I tip heavily if it’s a bar tournament and the waitress or bartender is running it. If it’s a pool hall and the TD is getting paid I wouldn’t tip as much usually. If one of the players is volunteering then I might or might not tip. Generally at least buy them a drink or something. I ran...

Very watchable. Thanks for posting. Is it XXI though instead of XI?

It happens. I have a rule that I just take off the next week after I win. If I win too many in a row (every other week) then I skip for a few weeks. I also tip the bartender/waitress and tournament directors generously. They are always happy to see me. There's a bar tournament I play in...

I’ve heard it is still thriving but haven’t lived there for a long time now. CA has some good pockets of activity and some good rooms but outside of those areas it’s kind of a desert.

It started when Alex Johnson, Lief Jensen and Terry McFadden, Jan Mcquade and a few other bar owners got together and started the CBA. They came up with a rating system and had a committee to rate players that met every month. They had sanctioned events several times a week and created a ton...

I was thinking more about tournament streams.

The GoFundMe thread for John Schmidt's attempt to re-establish the 14.1 world record got me thinking. Why not have Patreon/Venmo/CashApp codes for the players when they are playing on streams? Displayed on screen under the player name/score. The streamers have links and they are regularly...

The day is young.

Probably should try and get a bottled water sponsor… :)

I don't know what Honolulu is but I'd have to guess ME. :)

Cut 5-ball all the way down off rail ticky on the 13. Extreme left on CB 4 rails to short side of 6. Complain about luck no matter what happens.

Now that I live closer it’s a place I really want to go check out.

There was a thread about it a while back.

My Ernie Martinez hits great. It's a birdseye maple no points. Several people who have hit it have begged to buy it on the spot.

You’d be surprised. I know a lot of players that never buy half and many of them won’t win for someone who doesn’t tip. They’ll play bad and try to get someone to gamble with them.

I bet he wins more for players that tip him.

It’ll be timely for the other 50% next week! :)

I had a roommate in college. Audiophile. Engineer. Designed and build his own speakers. One day a group of us were studying and he was in the other room (two rooms away) watching tv. We were listening to music on his stereo. He got up from the other room and came in, pushed a button on the...
