"running down hill"... ok, it's a bit off topic but wtf does that mean and when did every hack football commentator start using that phrase? It drives me nuts.

Aha!

Call shot in one pocket? Maybe I'm missing something.

Wow, Scott Frost is playing terrible against Gabe Owen. Maybe Gabe is putting a curse on his opponents. I only watched 2 games and Scott scratched like 3 times. It's over 3-1 Gabe.

That didn't take long.

I do that too. People at the bar (non pool players) look at me funny but what are you gonna do?

I play with my Southwest every time I play pool. It doesn't matter if it's league night (which is about 50% of my pool time nowdays) or a one pocket session. Now, I've bought some other cues that are less expensive and I don't play with them, they just sit in cases. If I buy more expensive cues...

OK, well you foreigners are exempt.;) Seriously, if you really watch what they are doing (and play well enough to understand it), you will eventually come to the conclusion that it's the best game. The game of 9 ball is so simple compared to one pocket that they just can't be compared. I...

I enjoy playing it and watching it, especially high level one pocket. I am equally perplexed as to why you don't like watching it, especially if you really do play the game. I've come to the conclusion that people who don't like playing or watching one pocket equate playing pool to simply...

Wait till you become an 8-9 in 9 ball and you won't hold that opinion. I think 1700-1800 in chess is above a 9 level in APA. Some 9's can give other 9's big weight.

I thought it was at Navy Pier in Chicago? I'm talking about the room where they had that overhead shot when everyone broke in unison. If you look real close you can see John Zaksas (very good Chicago player and part owner of Red Shoes Billiards) breaking down at the bottom of the screen. If I...

I guess I have a collectors item. I am sad to read about these kind of things.

It has been my experience that APA teams regularly sandbag. I played in APA leagues in Champaign/Urbana, St. Louis, Chicago and Denver. I have not played in APA leagues for about 10 years now but I still play with people that do play in APA leagues and from what I hear, things haven't changed...

This is a good analysis. I struggle with all three of your important skils, mosly with #3 which should be the easiest one to control it would seem. It drives me crazy how many people I think I could beat playing 9b but give me weight playing 1p. Well to be honest, that's changing since now all...

That was quite a weekly ring game. Toughest $1/$2 game around I believe:smile: I remember one night Rich Cunningham drew the lowest ball, then broke and ran 5 racks in a row. 3 guys quit before they ever got to shoot.

8:6? Ha, you can do your own due dilligence around here but I'm an easy mark at 1p.

You're one of the few posters from either board that I've met in person. But I think that was before I was posting on either board.

I would like to know who's here that used to post/lurk regularly on RSB. I know some of the more frequent posters but there have to be some that don't post often also right? Is everyone over at Jimbo's site?

I'm not tough enough to take that guy's money.

OK, you got me. I don't play APA anymore but I bring my southwest to league night. I guess we have to play.
