that is one of the nicest SG cues I have seen. The rosewood in the cue is outstanding. Hope it goes to a good home.

As of a few of you know, we stopped receiving shipments of Magic Chalk this past fall. I was told that the factory stopped production due to worker protests but is apparently operating again since we received another shipment yesterday. It appears that most, if not all, of the online billiard...

Sometimes I wish I had the same problem. If I could afford the practice time I would be willing to practice solo 10+ hours a day. Unfortunately, the poolroom I play out of doesn't have any big rate breaks for solo practice. I was able to practice about 3 hours today by myself and it was still...

I just got a game setup where I was absolutely stealing and was letting Ronnie Wiseman partner with me on my bet. I didn't want to show too much in the first set and during the first game instead of drawing the ball back 6 inches or so I drew it all the way down the table. I didn't think it was...

We had a little round robin pool for banks at the poolroom. I was able to get a few guys. I was really hoping this was the year Richie Richeson was going to get through and win it especially after navigating through a couple strong players in the 3rd and 4th round. I had Richie, Danny Smith...

Best thing I have in my case that I use for the tip. Tip gets glazed a quick roll solves it. Tip miscues a little longer of a roll solves it.

If you don't think he can possibly make that many combos next time and you think you are the favorite it might be a good idea to try and raise the bet next time. Since you guys went hill-hill in a long race, the high percentage of combos he shot, and the big information he provided that he may...

The problem with being held so far in advance is that a large number of players would feel forced to take the money since it is hard to plan so far in the future for many players.

For me it depends on what I am trying to accomplish. If I am playing a much better player even and donating, the longer the set the better. If I am playing a weaker player and they are donating (and they are nice), I will play longer sets even for 10 or 20$ like races to 7 or 9 if I am not doing...

I hate losing just as much as anyone else but I refuse to appear badly. Somehow I feel that if I really show how I feel or lose my cool then the other players in the poolroom will somehow be able to use that against me in future matches. I just try to say the right things win or lose and find a...

A lot of times with small tournaments the money difference isn't that big so splitting can make sense. Other times, I have had the owners tell us that we are splitting or strongly encourage us to split because they want to go a little early. I split every once in a while and don't see an issue...

It just seems like there are so much fewer players who are willing play for anything compared to even 15-20 years ago. Even then I remember going around to different places trying to make money and it was usually pretty easy to plus up and still make it back to the poolroom to take a shot at...

I know a lot of people would love to be the next guy to travel around with you. I know that I am out because I smoke and I just wouldn't want my information out there. I am much more of a low-profile kind of player. Not sneaky per say just low-profile. I do however have the perfect idea for a...

I think most people would be way better off learning how to match up. It seems like a lot of players don't really understand how to do it. Playing cheap sets with someone considerably better is donating not gambling so if it is a gambling poll with just those two options I would have to go with...

You might want to think about shooting up to Detroit for a few days. Couple guys looking for a tune-up before Derby and you should be able to get quite a few lessons if you swing up on a Tuesday. Tournament and a few leagues on Tuesdays so a lot of people who might be interested. I would be able...

whatever it takes to get a lot of women around the poolrooms. If there were a lot more women around pool that would make hanging out at the poolroom so much better when there isn't anything going on.

Great job to Danny!

No he wasn't winning the time I was referring to. All I was saying is that he was acting pretty normal. Possibly it was a fluke thing or possibly he was working on his behavior. Whatever the case, it was what it was.

He probably could spot 95% of the AZ forum the 8 and win. The guy was in Detroit for a few weeks recently and he played fine. He wouldn't be at the top tier of players in this area if he lived here but he is an A player for these parts and he does like to gamble and compete. He found a few good...

Maybe you need a nap before the tournament or to wake up later in the day. If you usually go to bed at 10 or 11 then it is easy to see you crashing after midnight in a tourney. I get up so late in the day usually that 1 or 2am still feels like dinnertime. Also, I usually make sure that I eat...
