    MItchell Pool Tables

    Thanks for the info on these tables. Unfortunately it is all for nothing as I found out that the table that I like is $42,900 + Delivery and Setup!!! I think I will stick to Diamond tables.

    MItchell Pool Tables

    http://www.mitchellebd.com/ Has anyone ever heard of these tables? I am building a new house and have a billiards room on the main floor that is just big enough to hold a 7' table. Downstairs I have room for a 9' and a three cushion or snooker table. I currently have a 7' Diamond and a 9'...

    Not much of a lesson, Darren won 9 to 8.

    During the dispute I realized he was a nut job and let the money go, beforehand he seemed very normal.

    The guy I was referring to in my story less than a month later ran over his ex-wife and her boyfriend with is truck, then got out and shot them with his shot gun and then shot and killed himself. I think the boyfriend ended up living but is now a paraplegic, there are somethings that are more...

    Darren Appleton Responds to Money Match Challengers :-)

    I guess you are proved wrong, SVB played Darren abroad and won 30 to 18. Shane will play Daz anywere if the bet is right.

    He definitely owes you the money. It reminds me of when I was playing a guy for $10 / game and it was going back and forth and after about an hour of playing we were dead even. I broke and made five or six ball in eight ball and had a pretty easy run out. I said "I wish I broke like that...

    160K Stakehorse Challenge!

    You are correct with 8 players of equal ability the odds of winning an eight man tournament is 7 to 1. What I was saying in my previous post is that you also have to calculate either of your players getting 1st or 2nd. So just looking at the money if your player gets first without taking into...

    160K Stakehorse Challenge!

    You are completely forgetting about your horse coming in 2nd and the other 40% chance of your other player coming in 1st or 2nd. Odds don't seem like you specialty I think you should just keep your money in the bank, but if you are ever looking to play some high stakes poker look me up.

    160K Stakehorse Challenge!

    Sorry I have been busy with work and haven't had time to reply to a lot of the questions being posed here. After talking with Ray we both felt it would be easier to fill the field if we switched to one pocket. I am still staking Shane in this event and Scott Frost has also been picked...

    how would the best bank players play the ghost new game?

    I would say you take BIH at the start and after missing you take BIH again and if you run eight balls with the two BIH's you win or else the ghost wins. I would think a top bank player would win more than they would lose so they would be able to beat the ghost. There could be a bonus where you...

    Annoying habits of the pros

    I hate when a player put the chalk on the table upside down. I saw Efren doing this over and over, Shane would put it back right but Efren would turn it back over. It makes a huge mess and gets all over everything.

    % when backing pool player

    I see both sides to this and here is my take: If I am staking someone for under $500 a set I usually give them 50% after paying table time. When the betting gets more serious then I normally give the player 35% of everything I bet. I know some stakehorses that will bet 2K in the middle and 8K...

    CSI presents The Kamui Challenge: Van Boening vs Ko Pin Yi

    Will definitely watch this match! Would love it if they extended the race to at least 30 though. With these two players 21 is too short to see who is playing better in my opinion.

    Shane .V.B vs Nick. (The Greek) Ekonomopoulos

    Here is what I know: Nick invited Shane to Greece to play in his tournament and promised him a challenge match for 5,000 Euros. Shane texted me and said do you want to go to Greece and I said sure! Shane is getting to Greece on the 22nd and will be playing in Nick's tournament and will be...
