Lou is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. I hope he is in good health.

I don't officially give lessons and I'm not all that great but I play in the APA and I don't think a week goes buy that I don't help someone with something. Some times it's mechanics and some times it's pattern play or strategy. We currently have a new player on our team and he has never played...

I'm far from a strong player so take this with a huge grain of salt. IMHO, it is best to let the pattern of the balls determine the best break shot for each rack. Sometimes it is a classic break shot from the front side of the rack and sometimes it is a shot behind the rack. At other times, the...

I think the thing about straight pool was more a matter of semantics. The 3 fouls plus the 15 ball penalty equals the 18 points. It was just clarifying how it is stated.

I can't make it Saturday but I hope to be there on Sunday. :thumbup:

Why do players always want to change rules? All games have some ellement of luck involved. Some games are meant to have a little more luck involved than others and 9-ball is one of those games. I believe 9-ball should be played without calling any shots. If you want a call your shot game, play...

Just bumping this up to remind everyone.

My wife and I are seniors but we were asked for $20 each at the door and paid it. I guess we look young. :confused: This tournament was worth every penny.

Andy, I heard that former champion Danny Harriman was thinking about playing. Have you heard anything about that?

Hopefully all of the ladies will come out for this tournament. I can't be there on both days but I hope to be there watching the final rounds on Sunday.

The bottom line is that the one who puts in all of the time and hard work to organize and run a tournament gets to make the rules. It has been decided that this great tournament is only for the residents of Va and DC. End of discusion.

I'm happy to hear Barry and Buddy are alright but, as some one else said, I can't believe Barry didn't use that TV camera to make a plug for the Open. He'll have to go out and get stuck in the mud again next week. :grin: I can't wait to hear the real story from Barry at the Open. :rotflmao1:

I haven't heard about this other pool tour but I think the APT is already taking their place. Just look at the numbers.

Danny, I've seen you play at the Md. 14-1 State Championship at Big Daddy's Billiards and I can honestly say, you always conduct yourself like a professional and you definitely don't need any kind of shark moves to win. You are one heck of a player and I look forward to seeing you play again...

This is a great idea. I just hope some one from DP is reading this.

Congrats Charlie! :thumbup:

As a pool fan, player, frequent internet user and Maryland resident, I can honestly say I have never heard of breaknnrun.com before this thread. I think announcing your tournament there is almost like whispering to your sister in the corner of the dining room. I doubt that many people new about...

Mike announced this week's tournament at the last tournament a couple of weeks ago and I have received emails about it so I assume it is still on. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a response from Mike or Jose here.

Thanks Dennis but I don't know if this would work for us. The RO isn't too computer savy and I don't know for sure but I don't think he knows excel. Frankly, I don't know excel either and I couldn't help him with it. I guess we're a sad bunch when it comes to computers. LOL Anyway, thanks for...

In his prime playing years, Lou Butera had a wife and something like 5 or more kids plus he ran a business. With all of that going on, he still was one of the best players in the world and earned entry into the BCA HOF. He didn't have time to practice 8 hours a day and he didn't spend all of his...
