    Unknown APA rule enforced at LC

    That is correct. Honestly I am not even sure if his ball hit the rail before I pulled the trigger. I wasn't watching for it at all.

    Sorry about that. I just figured that since the national office confirmed it wasn't a rule that the debate was finished. For the record I don't have a problem with this rule. I have seen books that suggest when you lag that you wait to see what your opponent does and then lag after...

    And what government casinos would you be referring to? As I understand it most casinos are owned by a handful of companies (MGM, Caesars, Wynn, Boyds).

    Please read the response celophanewrap got back from the National APA office regarding this subject.

    Gateway drug is just silly. Is water a gateway drug to alcohol? It is as much as a e-cig is to a real smoke. Worth noting is that e-cigs can be used without any nicotine. I know several people who vape and they do not even use the nicotine.

    Awesome! Thanks for sending that question to the APA National Office. I guess that clearly tells us what the "official" rule is.

    Ummm the casino is owned by native Americans and they could easily make tax off e-cigs and regular cigs.

    Are you implying that if e-cigs are regulated that they wouldn't actually be regulated? I am confused. Meat, veggies, alcohol all have strict regulations. How would this be any different? Let me ask you this. If meat is not USDA approved would you buy it?

    A requirement to have one ball hit the bottom rail and with penalty of a re-lag is certainly a undocumented rule.

    The problem is they are not regulated. Yes if they are regulated the price will go up.. a lot. However, at least we will know exactly what is in them. Personally speaking I only buy juice that is made in the US (and mostly local). None of the crap shipped here from China.

    You're right. At the end of the day cigs are a nicotine input system. Replace it with something else and you have a alternative. If e-cigs don't help you quit than the nicotine patch or nicotine gum don't either (both of which have been proven to help you quit).

    I was at the Chinook Winds casino a couple weeks ago. To my surprise you could smoke until you are green in the face but god forbid you use a e-cig. E-cigs are banned at the casino. WTF!

    I smoke on occasion and use a e-cig regularly. My first hand experience is the e-cig is a lot easier on the lungs. I had smoked for close to 20 years before I changed over. E-cigs do not make me cough when I wake up in the morning. I also do not stink. Some studies have been done on this. Only...

    madden cue

    My playing cue is a Jack Madden. For the money they are great! The hit of a cue is subjective. Personally speaking I really like how it plays. I do not have a LD shaft on it. I am using one of the two shafts that came with it. I am not sure how to best describe it. When you hit the cue ball...

    That is possible and to think that is the case makes my blood boil a little. With that said, when I brought it up with the LO she did not know if I was playing a local team or not. So I assume she wasn't playing favorites. Really my only contention is I would like to know about things like...

    8-ball rules question

    Thanks for telling me to go **** myself on the 'User CP'. Obviously you have serious issues you need to work out.

    8 Ball on the Break rule

    If you have a good 8ball break you give yourself around a 10% chance of winning in one shot..... not saying it is right or wrong but if it counts I play second ball break every time.
