There was something about the MC this year that I noticed while watching the mathces. John Schmidt mentioned it in his interview last week. And it's not something I see people mention too much when talking about MC performances. That something is this: No American pool player ever plays in...

Because Burt exploits people and pays goons to help him; even Fats kowtows to Burt. Eddie got under Burt's thumb with the trip to play Findlay, and once you're there you will stay there until he doesn't need you anymore. Even though Eddie played Fats with his own money, from Burt's...

Here's some additional perspective... The guy I bought my table from -- a guy in his 60s who says he's been playing all his life -- thought he was doing me a favor when he offered me the two-piece Sears pool cues (with a pack of screw-on replacement tips) he had in his basement. Maybe he had...

He was nominated for an Oscar but didn't win. He won an Oscar for TCOM.

Web design company got a little sloppy when taking a screenshot

I wouldn't be surprised if they did. You should just be able to search for "The Hustler" and it would show up if it's available. I found it on Roku under "critically acclaimed dramas", I think.

I was flipping through Netflix last night and saw that they are streaming The Hustler. I haven't seen it available before so thought I'd pass along the info.

And calling my mug a "coffee cup" implies I can only put coffee in it... it's all about context.

You can include the screenshot as an attachment. There's a button with a paper clip icon above the text area where you type replies to posts. If you don't want to include the entire browser in the screenshot, you will have to crop the image and for that, I would search youtube... people are...

I think your best odds are the game you're better at, especially if you're better at it than the other guy. I can see your Capt's point-of-view too. Compared to playing even, spotting someone a couple games seems like you're getting the worst of it -- at least on the surface. Last night, one...

Passive Aggressive BS. Sounds like the guy just wanted to play and didn't care how it affected the team. On top of that, by loudly suggesting that you start a second match, then walking over and starting the match himself, he put you in a no-win situation. You either quietly accept it or...

Nice shooting! I had a 5-3 race in NAPA 10-ball. I won 5-1. Nothing terribly exciting to say about it except that I finally had my break working all right (took some power off and focused on staying down and having a good follow-through) and was able to control the heavy cue ball better.

The article contains the word "pool" exactly 0 times.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0177896/?ref_=nv_sr_1 I think the biggest movies he's been in are The Hangover and Silver Linings Playbook.

You're a troll and/or the worst engineer ever. What bridges have you designed? I do not want to drive over them.

With this statement, this thread has officially jumped the shark. If the player in question is unfamiliar with the terms for the different types of shots, I'm sure he's not going to be reading rule books. http://www.billiardworld.com/glossary.html

700 matches in 3 years!? That's insane! I just looked at my NAPA stats. Tomorrow night will make 90 matches in 3 years.

Yes, the APA has a solution for leagues that are top heavy. It's called APA Masters. Correction: Your Local League Operator does not offer a Master's division. If you want to keep playing in the APA, you need to talk to your LO and try to get a Master's division started. Your complaint...

In Bob's original example, the obvious ball went in the obvious pocket. It just took a non-obvious path. You say that you don't want people to call all the details of a shot, and yet you also say that in Bob's example, the shot was not obvious. Well it can't be both things.

Are you an engineer or software developer by chance? This is the same logic that is applied when talking about fixing software problems and it completely ignores the human element. In our case, the human element is that no one remembers all the WPA rules even though we can access them on our...
