    Have I come across the ultimate nit?

    Just lean in and quietly ask him if he really wants to be constantly worrying about his brake lines rupturing, or his house catching fire in the middle of the night, or his boss getting tipped off about drugs in his desk at work...He'll shut up about the shaft....(y):whistle:

    A new way to think about position?

    In my progression, I had a phase between your level 2 and 3 where I focused much of my practice on Tor's strategy of (mostly) center ball shots, using the tangent line to stay on the right side of the shooting line. The biggest benefit of this was that it really made me focus on working...

    End of the US Open?

    Yes, and dont foget Moneymaker was primarily an online player, which added to his "everyman" persona. His win really accelerated the growth of PartyPoker.net and other online poker sites, which all taken together with the other factors mentioned, led to the unprecedented boom in hold'em poker...

    Us 10 ball out of griffs ..nice reminder for the match room complainers

    I love these kinds of tournaments. It is certainly a nice change of pace. As someone said in another thread, even with the MR produced events, very few, if anyone, wants to see the same Major tournament over and over just on different soil. Every tourney should be unique and have its own unique...

    WPA will no longer ban players who join Matchroom

    Interesting stuff...sounds like you have some inside info... As a huge boxing fan, I have said from the beginning that pool is Barry Hearns pet.project. You could take all the money pool has made them the last two years and I bet it wouldn't come close to one Canelo Alvarez ppv...or Anthony...

    Some evidence of what I have long suspected about Fargorating

    No big aha moment for me... I don't even have a FR. I was simply offering an opinion.

    Some evidence of what I have long suspected about Fargorating

    Dont know ow much about FR, but could familiarity have anything to do with it? I know that after playing session after session with the same people they: A. Develop a familiarity and comfort with playing each other so many times, which leads to... B. Knowing the strategy and shots that are...

    Cue Prices... Rediiculous!!!

    Hopefully there will continue to be entries in the sub 200 price point, such as rhino. After all is said and done, there is only so much you can do to a tube of carbon fiber...

    Any billiards companies interested in working with us? - Dartmouth Billiards Student Organization

    What about, if just to begin, start a league team, or if you have enough interest, a couple of league teams? The tough stuff such as scoring, rules, and scheduling would already be done. You could even advertise as the Dartmouth Competition Billiards Team or some such. Play a few sessions in a...

    World 10-Ball Championships, Feb-Mar 2024, Las Vegas, The Rio

    I must be the only one who likes the shootout. The ones I have seen, you can almost feel the pressure the players are under. But then again I love soccer penalty kicks deciding big matches and the tie breaker in tennis, and I know soccer players hate having a match decided by PK's.

    Any billiards companies interested in working with us? - Dartmouth Billiards Student Organization

    Is this the info you need while deciding on whether to sponsor this group? Even the New York Yankees have corporate sponsors, and a whole department of people who send out solicitation emails just like this one. Good to see young folks trying to create change for the better.

    T-Rex updates

    You could surely be right, as I don't know nor have I ever met, SVB. But, If you have followed SVB's facebook feed over the past decade or longer, you would definitely not say this. He has called out and woofed at dozens, offered to "bet his own" more times than you can count, and has said many...

    Searing Cue

    Isn't there something they can do if you mailed it to him? Interstate mail fraud or something like that? Might be worth your time to call and ask your postmaster.
