Good lord. I did feel that I was a bit underrated, and felt like I played "good" on Tony... But 6% odds of getting to 5??? And those were 4 1/8" pockets!

To this day... The game with Efren's crazy 3-cushion style position off a back cut ball against Jason Miller in the DCC One Pocket finals holds that title for me. I've played a bit of 3 Cushion, even had a run of 5 against some unsuspecting Korean billiard hall owner (who spotted me 5 points to...

Tried it.. Couldn't understand the results. Wanted to see what the odds of me getting to 5 in a race to 9 against Tony Chohan, given a 225 point Fargorate gap. (Which I did at DCC 2023....) What the heck is an "R9"? Race to 9? Why do the results come back negative? I think the "expectation" is...

Just so. I got one of these Eurotour 4 1/8" Diamonds... And these pockets will take a little bit of rail rubbing, with a smooth stroke. A lot of American players don't appreciate how just a little bit of work on one's stroke can make the game a lot easier than they make it look. These aren't...

What a difference 20 years makes. Both Filler and Gorst have about $1.3 million "legit" earnings in tournaments in their short careers, and SVB is over $2 million at this point. And he got good advice from his family, and invested a decent portion of that into real estate....

BS. The first time that there was a actual INCENTIVE to run 10+ racks (the million dollar challenge..), it was done at the VERY first tournament by Earl... And that quickly brought an end to any more such insurance deals. The odds are only so low BECAUSE there is no incentive, and safeties are...

I read that book over 25 years ago as a young player. Danny McGoorty is not necessarily a good example of a "non-POS".. You DID read the part about him getting the girl pregnant and basically telling her to have a coat hanger abortion, right? He did have his moments when he played great.. And he...

Stroke. On a 4.75" pocket table, you have enough pocket to "play different parts of the center", while still moving the ball around the table easily. IF you are hitting points of the pocket on such a big pocket, your stroke is not accurate, and should be the first order of business to correct...

Oh good lord.... A reasonable, sensible response from you. Is this one of the signs of the upcoming apocalyspe? Or mebbe Sweet Baby Jesus™ is coming back?

4 1/2" pockets are not that much of a challenge for the 825+ Fargo crowd. You gotta get down to 4 1/4", AND have a little wear on the cloth to slow them down.

He is being intentionally combative, because that is his personality. Much like in NPR... Once he takes a stance, he is absolutely bolted into it, and no new information, or idea presented, is gonna move him off of it.

Waymint... Isn't Boyes the guy that took b-i-h against Shannon Daulton for touching a CB in the middle of the table before it came to a full stop? And Pinegar was mean to him? Oh Noez!!! Anyways....

Yeah, but he's not a 700 level player. He is knocking on the door of 800. I have played him myself, and did fair against him, but lost.. And the one takeaway is that he got a lot of action out of his stroke, and was *very* precise in his thin hits. He moved like a ghost, and smoothed in banks...

Dude is dissing Meglino, when the dude might get close to 800 Fargo after (if) Derby results are input into Fargorate, and is knocking on the door of a big win. I believe he basically dominates Florida pool, and that is with Corey Deuel still living there, I believe.

The point you're missing is, as good and consistent as Diamonds play, to run out a set, requires one to come with one or two "hero" shots during the various runs, that the pros are certainly capable of when playing well, but the shot may be 50%, and due to the unique table layout, there is a 75%...

I am not a broke POS, so I would never be in that situation.

I am sure you guys are willing to match up with him based on Fargorate, so you are not stealing from a lower level amateur... Right?

Yeahhh, that was never me. I was always "I am gonna give my all on every stroke, every game." So much so, that I get extremely annoyed with players that cannot play full bore unless there is money on it. I see them as fundamentally weak mentally. Do I gamble? Certainly. Does it make any...

Me squinting to see the confirmed qualifier dates, venues, and entry details:

The problem is that excellence on pool in comparison to how amateurs play, looks very different than when the weightlifter throws up a 400lb bench press while looking like they only have a moderate amount of muscle. An amateur player might not even realize they are severely outclassed for 20-30...
