    The New Small Talk

    This reminds me of the last time was in Las Vegas and a pleasant looking 50ish aged woman kept following me around. I mean, I was dodging through crowds, weaving in and out of islands of casino slot machines, cutting through blackjack tables and every time I stopped, this woman would be there...

    Interesting topic about Meucci Cues- Louie Roberts

    I was told that Louie would work at the Meucci Factory for amounts of time to build some road cash and Meucci would make up a cue or cues and some cues had the stamp on it in Louie's name. Heck, great advertising to have someone like Louie shooting with your brand, at least he was out there...

    Gambling with someone who doesn't take advice...what would you do?

    I have won local tournaments in Scotch and a 7 state tournament in Scotch where the rules are no talking with partners while your turn at the table. Love It This situation, no, my opinion would let him shoot and either quit earlier or just maybe the gals would take pity and buy a couple of...

    Would you buy a used cue from an unknown cue maker, without being able to try it out?

    My usual answer is also a " NO ", but, if a cue has my interest, I have done a search in different pool leagues in the area. Those leagues usually have a player as president of the league players, not the company, Their name is usually listed with a phone number. If the cue maker does decent...

    i have totally revamped my practice time, working out very well

    I applaud your efforts, I have shot at home this year more than ever because of the covid situation, but, have kept in good stroke. I will admit, even though I feel my stroke is pretty much good, I am a long way from where I want to be mentally once league and tournaments may start. Keep going...

    Bar leagues how busy and how loud?

    I agree with member "fastone371" when he states that playing through noise is good for the concentration come tournament time. I have shot in bar traveling VNEA traveling leagues for 34 years and we usually have four 5 person teams, and have dart league the same night and about another 20 to 30...

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    Our VNEA league halted in March because of the bars closing. We received a call that our league operator is still honoring the MVP players and league team champions. I have shot multiple leagues for years and this one is special as my wife jumped in to fill our team and the guys know my wife...

    the pool scene in the Covid world

    Our location is south central Minnesota and we have traveling leagues to bars only, the " pool halls " are about 80 to 90 miles away. With bars really not counting on pool to be catered by the bar owner, usually players have to instigate any type of tournament, everything has been quiet. I...

    My 9 ball game ...from one extreme to the other

    Sometimes, when things seem to be going south, you have to play safe and get a couple of ball in hands, otherwise, in my opinion, you start to press and give energy to opponents. If I can't outshoot em, I certainly am going to try and out smart em.

    What would You have done here?

    The way you played out is fine. I myself feel that at times when we know we are going to run the cue ball into something, like your first shot when the cue ball is going to hit the five, instead of trying to avoid the five, don't, if your going to hit it then hit it, push the five down to the...

    Switching hands due to Parkinson's Disease

    A great player in our state has a son who developed parkinson or maybe it was ms, but, his son would use short bridges or a moving tripod that had wheels on it. He continued to play for about a five year stretch at a pretty good high rate of pool. NO ONE had a problem with him using these...

    Charmaine mendoza ebsupp took my money on this forum

    I do remember seeing and reading this post for sale and thought that was an excellent price for the cue. Then I saw location, hmmmmm and moved on. Yes, sometimes we see something that we want so bad, we get a little blinded and put a lot of trust in people, which is fine, but, here in the United...

    Is player A a nit if...

    I have shot in situations like this and when I opponent wants to up the bet, I say sure, Just first, pay me amount difference for the first three sets. If I won three sets at $ 20.00 and know he wants to go for $ 80.00, 3 x $ 60.00 is $ 180.00. If he does not want to do that or just keep...
