    Austin pool halls with 9’ Diamonds

    There is supposed to be a room opening in South Austin with 9 foot diamonds. Maybe this summer? Best place to play with best players is Skinny Bobs. They have 14 9' gold crowns. 8 diamond bar tables on non smoking side. Ramos in Manor has 9' diamonds but I heard they are in pretty rough...

    What fraction of players rated over 700?

    It makes sense that the average rating would go up based on number of games played. Outside of leagues that are tracked, the better/more serious players will be playing in the bigger tournaments reported and will go deeper in the events that they do play in.

    What % of players can run 100+ in straight pool

    There are probably 10 men at my local pool room who have or are capable of running 100 if they played it regularly. I believe it would be within reach of any player who is 675+ fargo rated.

    This thread escalated quickly. It was nice to have a couple sincere responses in the beginning. I am out. Have fun.

    Some thoughts

    I have tried all of the different aiming systems. I believe they all work, provided you are on the right line and have a straight stroke. Things go crazy when the above isn't true. I have a straight stroke but have problems getting on the correct line. I am able to get on the correct line...

    Some thoughts

    This place has really gone downhill. Open most of these threads and it just turns into a couple members arguing about the same thing over and over. Does not matter what the thread was originally about. I had not been here for months. Just got tired of the arguing. Come back to see if...

    shane beats chang in tar match

    The Chinese and Taiwanese have always been monsters. Americans emphasize tournaments which are based on American soil. Now that they are all coming over here the fields are much tougher. Wu won two world championships at the age of 16. He has had the highest Fargo rating several different...

    Bogies Classic Houston,Tx - May 2-5th, 2019 - $7,000 Added (10B/ 9 ft)

    I thought Bogies was a smoking venue. That may explain why SVB would not play.

    shane beats chang in tar match

    The replies crack me up. If Shane wins, that confirms he is the best player. If he loses, the race was too short or he wasn't trying. He is the best player no matter what the results are based on what some people say. Chang played like god before the first break. He was up 21-4 and only...

    Justin Bergman said he'll play anyone for $10K min.

    Very tight table favors Bergman more than Shane. It more or less neutralizes Shane's break. Less balls going in on the break hurts Shane more than it does Bergman.

    Justin Bergman said he'll play anyone for $10K min.

    Yes Joey. Oscar posted about it years ago. This is first time I have heard about them playing outside of a tournament since then. CJL was up 21-4 yesterday at the first break. Then SVB finished the day down 25-11. They are both near the top. I would like to see someone step up to play Wu...

    Has anyone told Chang Jung Lin that Shane is The Man? Does not look like he is aware of that.

    Justin Bergman said he'll play anyone for $10K min.

    I have learned to never judge people based on their posts online. I couldn't stand John Barton because of his rants here and on FB but he is actually a nice guy in person. We hung out for awhile and even played some one pocket. Glen has a good reputation as far as tables so his thoughts on a...

    Justin Bergman said he'll play anyone for $10K min.

    How did rebuilding a table get into this discussion? LOL You are something else. You were an example. Could have used me. Top pros come to my home room a couple times a year. They have been known to play cheap sets with the locals just to stay in stroke. I have also seen them play 500-1k...

    Justin Bergman said he'll play anyone for $10K min.

    I am pretty sure any of the top 16 at the US Open will play realkingcobra for any amount he is willing to post. Who cares if they play or don't play 10k sets? It is absurd to claim that players of their caliber have never wagered a dollar on a game of pool. I bet these players play for money...
