    Sold FS: 2 Cue Package - Players and Karella

    These are just sitting around and I figure they would be perfect for someone who has children who want to learn to play or are looking for a cue that they don't mind taking into a bar. Both are around 19 or 19.5 oz and in perfect condition. I don't want to sell separately so first $115.00...

    Sold Schlemke Purpleheart Break Cue

    Used for about 4 months - perfect condition - 19.5oz approx. Phenolic tip. Very durable - no deflection - stiff hit and I've enjoyed playing with it. Only reason I'm selling is that I found the right deal on a BK Rush to replace the one that was stolen from my car earlier this year. First...

    Fight at pool bar in Dallas

    There's always been fighting in pool halls/bars. Alcohol, testosterone and gambling can be a volatile mix. The difference today is that people don't seem to have the same level of restraint and it escalates from just throwing hands to someone going for a gun much more quickly...

    Scam Alert: - New member: bmmerlord

    Perhaps you didn’t notice the other people who commented in this thread about their interactions with this member? Not judging him because he’s new to the site / judging him because he was trying to rip people (including me) off. Funny how he ceased all communication when I told him that he...

    Scam Alert: - New member: bmmerlord

    I reported it to the powers that be and I believe bmmerdouche is no longer a part of this community :) I also shared a few thoughts with him via email that may prove to be anatomically impossible should he try to do them.

    Scam Alert: - New member: bmmerlord

    Just a friendly public service announcement about a new member here "bmmerlord". He/they responded to my ad looking for a BK Rush - sent me pics of a cue that were obviously stolen from a retail website, then when I told him I wanted the break cue only and not the jump/break, lo and behold he...

    WTB: BK Rush Break Cue

    Looking for a new or used BK Rush Break Cue in black - my preference would be with the sport wrap but wrapless would work as well. Not interested in the jump/break version - just the break only cue. Please PM me with what you have and what you're asking and we can go from there. Thanks for your...

    Texas cuemaker Roger Allen passed away ...

    Just heard from a couple of friends here in Houston that Roger Allen passed away .... he was a fixture in the pool community here in Houston and worked for the last few years out of Big Tyme Billiards. One of my favorite cues to play with is a Sneaky Pete that he made years ago - good guy and...

    So, how much did he lose ?

    He played, he lost, apparently he owes now - as long as the people he owes it to are OK with that and the terms associated with it, what else really matters? If it is $66K, there's no doubt in my mind that he didn't intend to lose anything close to that, but who ever does? Ego and emotion take...

    AZers and the economic meltdown

    I manage a group that hosts conferences, events and training for the oil and gas industry. Needless to say, we're in a tight spot right now. Having said that, we're part of a much larger (15,000 person) company and Senior Management is doing all the right things to minimize the impact on the...

    Missed BIH last night - against Efren Reyes.

    Efren was in town (Houston) yesterday playing an exhibition and I signed up to play him a couple of games of 8 ball. My gf's daughter played one game and I played the other. I broke dry, he ran 4, missed a bank, then I ran 5 - overpowered the 9 trying to get on my last ball before the 8, but...

    The pool world lost a player - I lost a friend.

    It was unfortunately. We're going to host a benefit tournament at Big Tyme for his family in the next few weeks - I'll make sure that I send you the details on it directly.

    The pool world lost a player - I lost a friend.

    Dear AZB Family, On January 12, 2020 - my friend and fellow pool player David Martinez passed away. He wasn't a pro player or a road player - he was a family man, a retired Houston Police Officer (32 years of service) and a man who simply loved to play the game - tournaments, league or just...

    What kind of handicap could I get to play Roberto?

    If Dean and Roberto can come to terms, I'd be interested in watching it. Have to respect someone willing to take a shot at a pro player with their own cash. If the two sides can agree to terms and spot, then why not?

    Congratulations to The Lion Alex Pagulayan for taking down the White Diamond Super 9-

    Alex C. plays out of the same pool hall that I do in Houston and I'd see him as the favorite to make that shot that Alex P. made more often than not as well. You can see when he played that safe on the 2 that he wasn't happy with it as the edge leaked out and he knew that Alex P. was capable of...
