    The last time I saw "really good" gambling at DCC was a few years ago, when Filler played Chang a race in the wee hours of the morning. It "used' to be, BigTruck had his pick of solid games to stream, and that year had multiple good matchups. The last two times I went, including 2023, the...

    I Miss Two Day Tournaments

    Yeah, well. I was looking at some of my events from the period in 2016 when I was playing my very best and won a regional event... And I triple-dipped (beat the young man in the first round, and then double-dipped in the finals) a fellow who now has a 730 Fargorate. I got 5 games off of Chohan...

    Supply and demand doesn't apply if a specific buyer or set of buyers can engineer the system so that they have first opportunity to buy an asset before it is openly available on the market. Which is what the institutional investors are doing with the housing market.

    And the chat is up in arms about not wanting to watch these guys play... And the streamers are refusing to switch back over to Oscar/Jesus.

    Absolutely! The streamers switch from Oscar drilling Jesus Atencio 9-3..... To watching a bunch of hacks practicing on a barbox.

    Are the DCC matches getting reported with full matches scores to Fargorate this year? Sigh.

    Again... You are not paying attention to what is being reported on this issue. The institutional investors are NOT flooding the market with the houses they are buying. They are boosting the rents through the stratosphere on half their properties.. And are sitting on the other half, as the values...

    I don't think you are gonna convince many people on this site, as some people by way of their political affiliations, simply are never going to admit that the rich (unless said rich people lean left politically), are manipulating the system and literally stealing money from the rest of the...

    I Miss Two Day Tournaments

    That's why I am switching over to the International Open... No One Pocket, so far as I can tell, but there is a 650 and below Amateur 9 ball event, better food, likely better hotel, MUCH better location (St. Augustine, Florida), and plenty of side tournaments. And better time of year that allows...

    Yeah.. That's what you "say"... But the real data says something different - https://jacobin.com/2024/05/single-family-homes-rentals-wall-street "Driven by the pandemic-era real estate boom, corporate landlords are ramping up their purchases of assets like apartment buildings and mobile home...

    Your thoughts on outrageous cue prices

    Real estate markets are more than double due to investment firms buying up all the residential property, and withholding a good portion of it off the market, to both drive up rent, and home values, due to scarcity. This is a extreme example of how markets can be manipulated, and that the market...

    Well.. I think simply calling it "lack of interest" is a bit vague. Pool is a game that requires a steady influx of younger players, in order to replenish the players aging out/dying. Just like pretty much any other competitive sport/game. Look at the demographics of this site, or just look at...

    DigitalPool bracket glitch, are there any experienced TD's here?

    It's a buggy site, and everyone knows it. And administrators are know to ignore emails to correct issues. Take a screenshot, abandon the tournament, and recreate the tournament, and see if the brackets merge properly. That is basically your only option if you are trying to fix this yourself.

    What do think about these pockets?

    I think the pockets are massive, and if someone is missing balls on that table, they are hitting the balls WAY too hard. And I think someone claiming those pockets play bad, needs to upload videos of shots being rejected, so we can see that nice quality stroke used.

    Oh, at this point.. I just want him to implement every single one of the policies he ran on, and that you guys voted for. And I really do mean that. I am not being facetious, even a little bit. The combination of deporting millions of illegal aliens + across the board tariffs alone, is gonna...

    ACS tournament craziness in Iowa

    It can very much change the strategy on both tables if the number of tables is switched in the middle of the match, at a time where one game matters. Leagues in America the way they are run, is one of the biggest reasons why we can no longer produce top talent. ESPECIALLY APA. Leagues in Europe...
