    Am I wasting my time?

    I don't think your wasting your time, but that may be because you sound a lot like me. The difference is that I'm pretty old and have been playing pool for over 70 years without ever getting very good at it. Keep it up but don't hesitate to add new elements to your program.

    Odd rule was applied today in my straight pool match.

    Aye, there's the rub. The outline. It took me a couple of years of nagging to get the owner to put the markings on the straight pool table. I'm still trying to get him to put up a set of plastic scoring beads with all the tabs in place. I even bought the beads and gave them to him and...

    2014 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Well, it's a start. I ran 17 in a match today. I'm not giving up but my expectations are not high. I suffered a mild stroke early November. I have recovered very well and I think that straight pool is good therapy. Dave Nelson

    Grudge Match - Columbus, Ohio August 20,21

    Other than that, I found the commercials extremely obnoxious. I think that I read somewhere that for some additional cost one could get the stream with no commercials. If that is so I will gladly pay it. Dave Nelson

    Grudge Match - Columbus, Ohio August 20,21

    I lost the stream at about rack 16. It reverted to the girls playing something. I tried reinserting my code but that didn't work. Did any one else have this happen or was it just this lousy computer acting up again. Dave Nelson

    Grudge Match - Columbus, Ohio August 20,21

    Just talked by phone with Ray and It looks like I will be watching. Neither Ray nor anyone else is responsible for my problems. I just have this computer so screwed up that I feel like throwing it out the window. Or maybe I should jump out the window. Dave Nelson
