On Sunday we held our end of year 8-ball tournament at the local American Legion and I am pleased to announce I came in first, my complaint is the 30 inch trophy I have no place to put in my house? On the way home I stopped by a friends house, lugging my trophy along, and we got to talking about...

This past Sunday after a nine ball game my opponent came up to me and said nice run, I said it wasn't that good running from the 6-ball, he said you ran from the 2-ball. I thought about it and I didn't remember starting with the 2?? It's kinda like poker, I never remember my good hands but that...

I love the concentration on her face doing the jump shop! She's about the same age I was when I began to understand the game, hopefully she will have that life long love affair with pool as I have. BK

I still play in the summer but not as much. My summer activities are golf and sitting my lazy butt down at the lake and drinking beer. Remember I am in Maine so the summers are kinda short, gotta get out in the sun as much as I can.

About 90 miles North.

I haven't played with anyone I know to be an AZB'er but if you are in the Waterville, ME area let me know. I'll be glad to bang'em around a little. BK

I don't play hard all the time either, if I am just out to have fun then I have fun and don't worry about it. If I am in a tourney then the game has my full attention. I play lights out against players who I respect and let up a little on those I don't, this translates into losing to people I...

I wouldn't know how to rate myself, I am probably top 5 in the 40 or 50 players I play with. Who knows how we play compared to the rest of the world. These 40 or 50 players run the gambit from mediocre to very good, so I am very good in my little world but would get my butt kicked in the real...

All I know is after a few shots from the other guy I can tell you if I am in trouble or not, if I think I am my games goes into overdrive. If my opponent sees shots that I have not seen in my view of the layout then I might be in trouble. I don't judge, I survive.

Thanks Nate, I am working on a handicap system for my local bar, that's why I asked. BK

I have been analysing why I have bad days at pool for several months and have come to the conclusion that my mood is the culprit. If I am in a very good mood I don't really care about pool, if I am in a bad mood I don't really care about pool either. Anywhere in between and I play great pool. I...

The place I play pool has several good players and we really have no way of rating each other, you are as good as your last series because the competition is very close. I came up with a simple formula and would like some input. (It may be close to other systems but I don't know). (8_Ball) The...

I thought about playing APA since my brother plays in another state and has a good time playing. I decided not to play after listening to several players that also play in the local Sunday tourneys, they were not very happy with the APA and it showed. It is also not in my nature to play below my...

If you show up with a glove, you should at least be able to sing 3 Michael Jackson tunes! Gloves are for baseball and golf, not pool. BK

This is a 3 ball run I made last Wednesday, not exactly one spectacular shot but when you string them together is was truly amazing. Shot 1 START( %Br3Z3%Dp3F4%Gp6O0%HC7E7%Ko7W3%Mm6J0%Pi7Y4%QC1C0%[D2C8%\s2U1 %]r4U8%^p3W0%eB4a4%_l8X9%`n2[4%ao4X1 )END The table above is the layout for the 1st...

I get over my mistakes by making dang sure my next shot is a good one, If I don't get back on the horse right away that missed shot haunts me. Most of the time this works and the mistake is soon forgotten. We are all our own worst enemies, get mad at the next shot just to show yourself it was a...

OK, now I know how to use WEI, so here it is. Those arrows about drove me crazy. Shot 1 START( %Br3Z3%Dp3F4%Gp6O0%HC7E7%Ko7W3%Mm6J0%Pi7Y4%QC1C0%[D2C8%\s2U1 %]r4U8%^p3W0%eB4a4%_l8X9%`n2[4%ao4X1 )END The table above is the layout for the 1st shot, I am stipes and as you can see I am completley...

Yesterday was my B-Day so what does a guy do on his B-Day? He plays pool of course. Below is a 3 shot series to end a game, I was very proud of myself. Sorry for using text but I haven't learned the Wei table stuff yet. A---------------B---------------C ...
