Have not seen you post in a while. How have you been doing.?

Thankfully i am hard of hearing because if i ever heard some one say that i would tell them what i thought...and it would not be good. I try to give people the benefit of doubt about sandbagging because we all have our good or bad nights. Especially newer players. Its the lifetime 3's and...

I decided to enter another singles qualifier again this weekend. I was preparing for another torture test and was pleasantly surprised this one started on time ...was well organized and the husband/wife tournament directors worked tirelessly to keep it on track. I elected to play only 8 ball...

Forgot to mention that they held a doubles qualifier also that started about 8.00 last night. Just found out from a team mate that her son and his girlfriend played in the doubles and didnt get home untill 7.30 this morming. Damn glad i didnt play in that.

Hate to hear that maniac. Hope everything works out for you. Seems my heart problems are minor compared to yours. Had a heart attack on jan 4th. They removed 2 blod clota and put in one stent. Was out of the hospital 3 days later and back to work a week after thst. Again...hope your situation...

I was going to post about my experience yesterday but then realized i had not posted about last weeks match. Really not much to say about it. I played another 6 in 9 ball and won 46-41. Close game and probly could have went either way but mothing sticks out about how we both played. I did not...

I guess i didnt explain it entirely. There is what they call travel assistance to go to nationals. I know the amount varies from one area to the other . some factors involved on the exact amount include league size and amount of fees paid. The amount usually covers the expenes incurred. I know...

I know i have been guilty of making a long post on occasion. In order to not offend people with short attention spans maybe it would be better to just get straight to the point and tell the person i am replying to that he is full of chit 😆

First i want to say i respect the fact you rebuilt a pool hall from ashes. I admire your ambition to have a place for old school pool. However...i take issue with your misguided statements of laying the blame for the state pool is in today towards apa or their league operators. You seem to...

So you think cash is a dirty word in apa ? Do you realize they paid over a million dollars in payouts at last years nationals ? Do you realize that for the measly sum of 7.00 a week plus 25.00 yearly membership plus 20.00 fee for a qualifying tournament for a grand total investment 409.00 per...

Yea i agree 9 ball can really suck sometimes. Then i have nights ljke last night. I faced another 6 and won 46-25. Everything was working for me. Breaks were great. .shotmaking was great. Cue ball control was great. But to be honest...my opponent did not play very good for a 6. I have never...

I hope i am not getting into a slump fellas. Maybe i should take my co captains suggestion and gety head outa my azz. Last week in 8 ball i faced another 5 in a 4-4 race. He was up 3-0 before i finally got it together and won 4 in a row to win hill- hill. I played the same guy in 9 ball...

Whenever the topic of apa comes up it seems to be a recurring theme on here for a certain demographic of pool players to ....well for lack of a better description to bash rhe hell out of the organization and all its members. Its aleays the same old reasons ...rules...handicaps...level of...

What rules.? 9 on the spot ? 1 on the spot.? Break box ? No break box.? Jump cues ? No jump cues? I could go on but hope you get the idea . Different rules for matchroom...predator. World 9 ball... U. S. open. And you want to rag an amatuer league for a different set of riils.?

I would like to share my experience with you and then give my opinion based on my experience. I started playing league at age 53 and am now 67. I have played in 5 major leagues ....apa , bcapl , napa , tap and usapl , plus a couple local money leagues. I once played in 3 different leagues a...

I faced a 4 last night in 8 ball that i had never playee before. He shot better than any 4 i have faced before. I shot a lil below my ability missing an 8 ball that a player my level should never miss. Still managed to win 4-2 in a 4-3 race. It should not have been that close but i guess a...

We went in early Sunday to so a make up before our regularly scheduled matches. It made a long day. My first match was 9 ball vs another 6 who i have never played before.. Everything kind of went my way for once. Break working good. Shooting good. Cue ball control good. It went so good i...

Here is just one example of why i will not live in Memphis. My boss text me saturday morming saying his shop was broken into friday night. Now he lives in memphis...not the best neighbor hood but a long way from beimg considered a bad neighbor hood. There have been a couple dozen 6-7 hundred...

Several years ago...seems like it might habe neen around 15 or so there waa a gentleman who had a heaet attack during a pool tournament. An ambulance was called immediately. Before i go any farther you gotta realize this is memphis we are talking about.. The man died about a half hour later...

Thanks for the lind words.. I have been back at work for a week now and feeling prerty good. We only had 4 last night due to one player having to work in order to make up missing a week and a half due to covid. The other team would have allowed us to have a replay on the last 8 and 9 ball...
