excellent advice.

if you are basically happy with your current rig; then place the 5 in your gambling/tourney kitty and get better and have some fun. or at the worst have some fun anyway.

never a dull moment. you and the valley, tuff stuff.

you are kidding, right?

50/50 after expenses and anything lower or higher; well neither party needs to have a relationship with the other. this is how goofy sh#t happens when either party feels under appreciated.

my brother once commented on a pretty good 9 ball/8 ball player that the player didn't have the mental game to play 1 pocket and after rolling the point in my grey matter well i had to agree and it had nothing to do with the player's intellect or learning capacity. nope he just hadn't been...

i prefer recently polished balls myself and i know it's all in my head (snicker snicker ha ha).

i aim with my eyes like previous posts and i do it without much thought, muscle memory and hand/eye stuff i guess. on difficult shots such as long cuts and combos I step back from the shot and align my entire body with the ball(s) i am going to strike and then i immedately shoot the shot. much...

i use a setup, an off the rack sneaky pete with a phenolic tip. i have broke with it and it plays as my regular cue. i personally do not jump but i am a better than average kicker. i have a disease much like rheumatoid arthrits but worse with multiple joint replacements so i shoot almost...

not me,but i've noticed that quite a few people have a bad habit of losing. my friend once read a book on improving his pool game and by the time he had finished the book he couldn't make a ball. i read the same book and picked up a couple of tips on practicing and strategy and i went on my...

whatever gets you through the day. stay strong.

the answer is of course, it depends on your opponent. a good example is my pool upbringing. in my pool world i was taught two-way shots were the best choice. blatant safety was frowned upon unless you were playing one pocket and even then most of your safety play included at the least moving a...

personally, i have played in places that God or the gods didn't dare enter. sometimes i wonder why i was there myself, but i'm pretty sure when i did enter those places I was on my own. as for pool gods, i believe these troublemakers are on the same level as pesky creatures that don't...

wow, is this the same movie that i've watched? did "reefer madness still influence the way we think about weed today? the polls say different ... what hurt professional pool is the group of players or maybe all of them who continue to split pots instead of playing till the finish as all major...

i bought a sneaky pete off the rack ($160 with taxes, discounts and i new the salesman) because my old sneaky had lost its tip and i had a match that night. it was straight and felt good (19.5) and off we went to beat every player that challenged me. through the years i've replaced the ferrule...

i disagree in that someone who possess ivory now will find that their value will actually increase. whenever the gov't outlaws something or forbids their populace to own or sell something, that "forbidden fruit" becomes more valuable. Prohibition, war on drugs, exotic animals, cigars, and on...

just 4 games ... i wouldn't adjust the spot because of the concerns you and others have posted. 4 games is just a hiccup. he might not even be a road player, he could be a "want-2-be" but u would need more than 4 games to figure that out or some good intelligence from your cohorts. i can't count...

while a 9' is better for your long shots and when you have to let the cue ball go when u get out of line; however, it is not the same game as playing on a 7', especially a table that plays slick and tight, too. when i was a youngwhipper snapper, i to thought that a 9' player could play the same...

thin the 3 with cue ball hitting side rail with inside english that allows cue ball to hit 2nd side rail where the english takes and the cue ball sides to the far end rail. i'll try to keep 3 on my side of the table and who knows u might get jammed up on the 2 or 8. if it doesn't work...

it just depends, but i personally don't gamble at pool with my close friends. most people see pool as a skill game so i don't gamble against close friends, but other activities such sports and poker games then gambling is ok, even though sports betting and poker are skill games too, but most...
