Here's the full bracket (so far):

We're down to the final four now: Hotseat: Sylver Ochoa 1 loss: Rick Moreno is waiting to play either James Davis Sr or David Henson. I'll post a picture of the complete bracket in just a little bit. Thanks, -Blake

Thanks Terry; I really appreciate that. And thanks Dead Money for the compliment. This is a basic stream of a local/regional 1P tournament, with almost no commentary. I'm really trying to focus on the quality of the video and audio, as well as hosting a casual chat room. Just something to...

They sure did. I also found them to be polite and respectful around the tables as well.

Yes sir, they were at State. -Blake

I agree that it's hard to define a State Championship without qualifying language, such as BCA State Champion, etc. Personally, I'm glad the Texas Open is open to anybody from any state or country. No offense, boogeyman, but I had to chuckle a little bit at the thought of nullifying a world...

Yep. It's definitely possible. The shot requires a table size and cue ball position that allows you to position the cue's butt ON the table, and probably a cue ball contact at center ball or higher. One example would be a 9-foot table, with the cue ball on the third diamond (or less) of the long...

Nice shot of Mike there. I haven't shot many pool photos this year. I might cover the Texas Open this year, but I'm not sure yet. There are three other tournaments coming up that I'll be livestreaming, so I'll probably grab some shots while I'm there.

Justin Collett (JCIN on AZB) from TAR recently announced that reproductions of the prints that were in the TAR studio are now available for purchase. http://theactionreport.com/studio-series-paper-edition/ Also, Robert G. Ross has a nice collection of prints that you may want to check out...

When I hear the phrase "1 tip of right," I interpret that as 1 tip's width further right than a center ball alignment. The phrase is, by definition, inexact, due to varying tip sizes. For example, my old Z2 shaft, which started out as 11.75 mm is now 11.4 mm. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding...

FWIW, my personal records (not averages) 14.1: 38 (9-ft Diamond, but I don't play much 14.1) 8-ball: 5-pack (easy 8-foot table) 9-ball: 6-pack (easy 9-foot table) 3C: 6 (10-foot Verhoeven heated table) Snooker: 94 (crappy 10-ft table) (Edited to add table conditions)

Here are some ideas that seem to work for me. First, I would advise against using center ball (or lower) on low speed shots. Try to have the cue ball in its natural roll as soon as it leaves the cue tip, especially for short distance shots. This approach will help to minimize any speed changes...

We all know when we're having an off night. It isn't fun. But I always try to keep a positive attitude, change the scenario, and remind myself that I have a learning opportunity right in front of me (and it's an important one). In my experience, those nights that start out bad make me want to...

Played about 15 years. Still enjoy and play 8-ball more than any other game. I love playing and watching snooker and 1P, too. I pretty much play rotation games only for cheap ring games and social circumstances. Got into live streaming for a while but that got old real quick, but still do it...

Hahaha, Just when I thought this thread couldn't get any funnier! Classic.

First time I saw it. ;) I must have missed the other ones. Still appreciated.

Thanks for sharing that article. Cool stuff. :)

PS Skinny Bob's has a decent poker tourney most nights.

Skinny Bobs in North Austin is the best. 14 GCIII's in very good shape, plus a Verhoeven 3C table. All the action is here if that's what your looking for. Clicks on Oltorf - my home - a bunch of Brunswick Medalist 8 footers + 3 x GC 9 footers. Good friendly crowd. Occasional action. There are...
