If only I had played you in the past. I probably would think differently of the game. As Johnny cash said in his song, " if I had of known you, when you were a little younger, maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do". Until...

Are you serious? As I said, I don't have a problem with eight ball between two competent players. I just don't understand why the masses play it. I think I will pass on your offer for now.:p:p

I didn't see that match. That happened after I got out of the game. I actually am going to order the series from Accu-stats and watch it. Thanks for the nod to Buddy, as I am a huge Buddy Hall mark. A total class act and a great player!

Really? Not Buddy? Not Varner? Archer? Efren? I feel like I have seen them all at their best, either live, or on tape and I just wouldn't agree at all. Seigel was great, but I just don't see him beating Earl or any other in the long run.

I was at my local bar tonight. I couldn't find a game so I just sat around and watched. I could sit around and watch all night. I am also a golfer, and I do the same with that game. My question is, why eight ball? I understand that Fast Eddie said checkers sells more than chess, but I still...

Exactly! Enough said! Close the thread!

A golf buddy of mine knew Jimmy Wales from his home town. He doesn't know a lot about pool, but he said as far as he knows he might not be playing now.

I visit a few different forums. Everyone has had their best of done so may time it gets boring to the regulars, so I am sure this has been done very often here. But if you would like to, humor me and tell me what you think. Who is the best nine ball player ever? With a nod to Buddy, I would...

No answers to Tony Watson? What about his original running mate Mike Mauney?

What would you say is the reason? I have never really played ten ball. Does the rack make that much of a difference? Obviously one ball does not slow a very good player from that many run outs. Do you have any opinions of the other things I said? By the way, your one pocket channel would...

I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about nine ball as a great game. I just quoted The Color Of Money to help me. I think my original post said as much. Please don't besmirch me when I come to you for lessons!:smile:

I will be there and hope to bring a few of my friends. I can't wait!

I agree with number one. In fact, most will be playing eight ball. I understand your thoughts on number two, and I know the difference. I'm certainly not one to argue with Bartrum, but I just can't understand that someone lucking a ball is going to make any difference in the long haul with...

I have a few points that seem to be totally different than when I left the game so many years ago. Argue or agree? Texas Express- Ten ball verses nine ball is one thing, but what is wrong with express? I figure the break is/should be a big part of the game. If I break, make the one and...

I don't care at all for calling your shot. Between two decent players, lucking a ball rarely will make the difference. The only thing I see calling your shot do is start a fight between two hacks in the bar.

I knew a guy that was a terror on an eight foot table. He was decent on a box, less on a big table, but almost unbeatable on an eight footer. That is as close as I have.

A pool player telling someone not to gamble? I have now, officially, heard it all!:(:(:(:(

Just carry the bigger case. It's not like it is a golf bag.:grin: Having said that, I have yet to find a cue that breaks as well as a good house cue.

Could you please explain how to do this?:confused::confused::confused: Don't listen to him, go to Shadow Creek!

Cool stories! But you didn't say who won. :wink::wink:
