And yet, it is true. You are free to debate the veracity of any individual point.

I am pretty sure in the other thread I was criticizing that viewpoint from the perspective of there "not being any money in it" for the people who would make pool tables available to the youth, i.e. pool halls. And criticizing the leagues for not doing anything effective to make pool available...

Me. Despite topping out around around 650 or so Fargo rate level play when I was younger, maybe a touch higher, I always played the game, for the game itself. I did not back down from a bet once offered, but I literally never offered a bet, it was always "offered" by the other player. When I...

And your game jumped exponentially, just after that time period. I am pretty sure you were well aware that neither of them stood even the slightest chance against you, and you would be absolutely robbing them. I'll eat my hat if you weren't at least 725 speed when you commentated on that stream...

I know easy-e personally, and if he says he heard you planning to cut up a backer, for me, that is pretty much set in stone. Combined with my first exposure to you being you criticizing two amateurs, and saying how much you'd like to play them for money (old TAR stream from Executive West DCC)...

I am sure that is a great comfort to the 1900s American Indians who actually starved to death. (Note the use of past-tense form of the verb "to starve".) Anything actually relevant to add?

Mike in this case, deserves every bit of it, for so gleefully dumping a backer. The internet never forgets.

And I say he's not even that much of a favorite at 10 ball, if either one of them took enough of an interest in practicing their 10 ball break heavily. For now, not much benefit to be had, until there are multiple well-paying 10 ball tournaments per year. The ONLY advantage he has over them...

He did. And I for one, applaud easy-e for reminding us that Mikey was one to cut up his backers. I don't give a crap if pool in America is a tough way to make a living. SVB doesn't have any such reputation, as he seems to be very aware of that being a good way to end one's career prematurely, as...

(American) Indians starved to death because they were forcibly moved onto reservations, and away from their ancestral hunting/farming grounds. Just "FYI".

One of those was good enough for Scott Frost to "forget" to return mine after he borrowed it during our match at DCC.. 😁

Unless I am mistaken in what I am seeing, it seems like there are sanding papers glued to that device, which is basically the exact opposite of "Last Forever". Explain to me what I am missing here.

It really depends on whether your desire is to just see any and all gambling, or whether it is to see "above board" gambling. Personally, I have absolutely no desire to see players gamble, when the outcome has been pre-arranged. As for how long I have "been around" gambling? Well, since around...

No.. Players who cut up their own backers are the lowest rung in the pool world.

Uh, no, they don't. There are elite players that do, but the ones who are a level below them don't and as such, that us why they tend to lose out in final 16 and above. And you are comparing POOL, to a game that plays a lot closer to SNOOKER. Snooker prioritizes pure shotmaking over position...

Anyone else get consistent stuttering on Pro Billiard TV's YouTube channel? Every match I try to watch has the same behavior, every few seconds, video hangs for .5-1 seconds, then continues. When I watch Matchroom matches, no stutter. I tried adjusting the bit rate, buffering, and still the same...

Apparently you have not read much of this thread before giving your opinion, as it has been clearly stated that Hunter did nothing more than give Scott a heads up that he was touching the ball, and that he "needed to watch out", or similar. He never called the ref, and he DID NOT "call a foul"...

Yeah, and I play it pretty well, "bro". The point being... "Shotmaking" is nothing more or less than hitting the pocket, and specifically, "where" you intend to. "Ball in hand position" REQUIRES that you hit the pocket *exactly" where you intend to. If you DON"T, your cue ball goes a farther...

Yes, yes, yes.. We get it. IF they played with rules that pretty much completely prioritize ONLY the break, allowing Shane to run packages to make up for any lack of safety execution, he beats people. But, when the break rules are prioritizing execution of ALL other parts of the game EXCEPT the...
