At 45 minutes and a limited schedule. I can get there possibly twice for a couple hours before the days of the tournament. Do you think even that little bit will help? I've played on them before, but like I said...8ft stuff just makes the balls roll funny for me.

Understood, very good advice. I've cut down and all but stopped drinking. My sugar intake has also dropped to zero, not even in my coffee. Next up is limiting my salt intake, but lately (with the heightened pool play) I've had a resurgence of energy and focus by eating right and staying hydrated.

I remember coming here for a couple weeks. Great place and some mighty good players. I picked up a Nick Varner cue they had on special there.

What's it called?

Been feeling in stroke lately, and the results of my run outs show some great progress. I'm currently riding that wave of "caught a gear" for the next however long it lasts. How do you people prepare for big tournaments that you want to do well in? I'm not going to be changing any equipment, but...

Never too old to start. Hell, 43 isn't even that old in the world of pool, you're still a young gun. Go for it, play hard, play smart.

Last night of the season for me. I'm going to take it as serious as I can while still having a great time. I've been playing well lately, VERY much caught a gear, now just trying to ride that wave to the next plateau and stepping stone to excellence. Have a tournament at the end of the month...

Nice photo up there. Suits and ties make you look good. I could go from left to right and find you some problems in that room. Problems that a professional sport shouldn't have to deal with. I think pool is taking on the feel of bass fishing, where players (anglers) wear sporting gear when...

What do you mean? Edit: Oh, Clayton..... I get it now. I think you may be thinking I'm in DE still. I'm not. This happened in a little room with 6 tables outside of Savannah. I need to get up that way and see you guys, soon. Maybe we'll all take a trip up to Drexeline.

It just came as a shock. And yeah someone could have played down, and gotten him laid sure (she was a real world 3, but like a pool room 7) Claiming to be the best in the room is a far stretch when you don't know who's in that room. And even then.... you gotta at LEAST play... ;) Who just...

If that same guy, told his girlfriend that he was a two time State Boxing Champion, did he deserve it then?

Yes sir. And that's the part that made me feel a little uneasy. It wasn't him that outed himself. The situation was definitely different, and I could see the guy recoil instantly in realizing the error that just occurred. All the same, I didn't talk to the guy. I sent a buddy over to go feel...

How else am I supposed to play a game with a STATE CHAMPION??

Yeah, Louie and Keith and Fast Eddie, all them. If the strategy is, walk into a place and say "I'm the best player in here", Ronnie would say........ There's a second part missing to that strategy - actually f*cking playing somebody. And this is what I thought was happening, to which I would...

It's cringe worthy to even mention it, but what would everyone here do in this situation? Guy about 25-30 comes in with his gf, he's carrying a small 1x1 pool case. There's myself and another player in the room, and about 15 more that are just there for drinks. I'm playing by myself hitting...

If "a pattern of bad behavior" was the catalyst to kick off negative consequences.... nobody would know who Earl Strickland even is. :LOL: All joking aside what Billy did was reprehensible on the video, getting into a shoving match and then some, and the name calling was especially...

I like threads like this, because it reminds me of a time about 7-10yrs ago that I followed some okay players on the BB. The Music City open comes to mind - Out there at J.O.B. in Nashville, Barbox was big back then. Jesse Bowman and Sparky Ferrell have an okay match linked above. Also...

Good story, and yes very classy guy. Not that Shannon isn't haha. Around 2010-2011 I Was playing in a big tourney, 10Ball, at Mr. Cues II, and my girl introduces me to Johnny, we're sitting just chatting about how the tournament is going. And Nick Varner stops to talk to him, sits opposite of...

Yes, he played in it. I never said the words "open amateur local tournament" That's a lot of words. It was a pool tournament, bro. There were a few heavy's in attendance that weekend, Johnny was one of 'em. Another guy by the name of Rod played in it. Rod went to the hill with Orcollo down in...

A couple years ago, in a local tourney here with 1,000 added and a sizeable calcutta pool going, Archer shows up. After the player auction, the TD announces some rules, as usual and then says "and a bonus! The player that knocks out Johnny Archer gets an extra $100!" The room goes silent for a...
