Wonder if that is where the GC snooker table from Griff's went? Right next door to Gorilla is Rum Runner. It is the home of the annual Andy Mercer tournament. All small Diamonds. Lyn

Hey Taxi, Fred Boggs plays on a VNEA team I'm also a member of. Send me a PM with your name and I'll be sure to tell Fred when I see him. Lyn

Ray, For many years our BCAPL / ACS / VNEA team had at least one player who matches your description. Whether you view it as good or bad, we've reached the finals of all three in both Open and Master 8 and 9 ball. Seems the distractions caused by one or two players did not change the focus of...

Two years ago at Tropicana, as soon as the matches ended, the crowd of nearly a thousand filed out. Some after match TV commentary with the UUUUUROPE players. Bring ear plugs. Bring big money if your buying drinks in the venue. I'll be in Vegas in December during the event. Probably will...

Chip, Disagree league numbers are dropping. Some of the changes involve new national or regional leagues starting up and draining the existing league players. Also, many more pool rooms are going to in-house leagues so they do not have to pay a national sanctioning body a fee per player...

Bob, As a really old guy (JR is beyond old ;) ), the fire definitely still burns. No longer drive long distances to tournaments. Play nationals when I'm in Vegas. Go to Erie for Gold Crown events. Play a few Joss Tour events. Regular at Super Billiards. Really, really enjoy beating the...

Paul, If I, as the owner of East Podunk Billiards, invite you to play for free today and you show up tomorrow and someone else owns the room and tells you you have to pay, would that be a matter of semantics? The pool room hosting the Jayson / Shane match tried to stream the event themselves...

TV Mike is a relatively small streamer who used to specialize in tournaments and challenge matches local to western Ohio and southern Michigan area. Year after year he expanded his reach and now offers streams from Olathe, KS, Wichita Falls, TX, Syracuse, NY and where ever else someone needs an...

Hang. Know all about the Nakamichi thing. Had a Model 1000 cassette deck for years. Worked as their sales rep in NY/NE for seven years in the late 90's and early 2000's before I retired. Used to make GREAT equipment! Excellent advice on "cheaper" products. Unfortunately some independent...

Bmore, Go back to August of 2016 and you will find a thread "Man playing as a woman at APA Nationals". Interesting read and commentary. Lyn

Yeah, many overseas companies got smart as American shoppers learned about where some products were made. They simply purchased the brand name from an American company and re-branded their own. My ex refused to buy an off brand mini-fridge because there was a Whirlpool available from BJ's...

Yeah I know the pain. Last year Fargo had me in the high six hundreds. High enough our Vegas team could not fit both Donny Branson and myself on a team without going over the max. This year I went to Vegas at 643 and am now at 655. I'm so bummed to have not made the list :rolleyes: ! Think...

Sixpack, It seems over the years this site has become a haven for keyboard jockeys who appear to have no love for the game of pool. Continuous complaints about a streamers business practices, where a cue is made and how major tournaments are run and how much the promoter makes. Understand...

Guys, Believe I made an error in my earlier post on this thread. Sam Walton's original plan had primarily American made products in his stores. After his passing, his successors began to change the philosophy to cheapest you can buy. Walmart knows their clientele very well. In doing this...

Big Truck and Lenny are PPV supported websites. Billiardnet.tv is primarily a membership supported website with a few individual event sponsors. Regardless of where TVMike gets his income, it is his choice whether to be a gold member or not. Shaming someone who tries to both support our game...

Jay, Just an FYI, one of Mario's #5 Type 79's will be on display at Lotus Of Western New York in Buffalo till Tuesday. No Mario, just the car. Lyn

Well Mr. 9andout, if you're so adamant about TVMike, spend one moment and look at the For Sale forum. Some of the retailers have been AZ members for way longer than Mike. They also make significantly more profit than Mike does. They don't have travel expenses as Mike does on a weekly basis...

Scott, Before Southwest "lost" my Schon playing cues, I played with one for playing and a second for breaking. Still play with that near twenty five year old Schon. And that includes the original shaft. Since I no longer travel cues to Vegas, I have an Ariel Carmeli to play with and a...

Jr, Having spent 38 years in the consumer electronics business beginning in the 60's, I remember when Japanees manufacturers used to have "made in usa" on the boxes. Notice usa not USA? It was a city in Japan. We bought the goods anyway. Who is responsible for the current mess? YOU, ME and...

I'm kind of with Tooler. If I were the dictator of pool, I'd ban them. Help bring back the wonderful game of three cushion billiards. Joss Tour allows jumping with a full cue. Acceptable to me. Yes, I have a jumper in my bag. It stays there until it is absolutely necessary to use it. I've...
