Hi Larry, I sent you a PM. Thanks.

Thanks, Larry and welcome back. I hope the sausages that ran you out twice before show a little more respect for other people's opinions. Nuff said, I really don't want to get into a cyber bar fight :) BTW, why not start another "Ask FL" topic? That way, people who are interested in your...

Wow, I'd never buy a cue off Ebay...A guy's gotta be nuts...unless it was a collectable/one of a kind where you don't give a rat's ass what shape its in or how it plays... Ebay is better for generic stuff...having said that, I've never made an Ebay purchase... I bought my Blud from...

Hey WilleeCue, I come from a long line of Swedish carpenters...the ones that were alive when I picked up a hammer told me that the best craftsmen in the world are the ones that are the best at hiding their mistakes...

Wow, phone 'em and ask them. Get it straight from them and don't rely on second hand info. I think your terms should involve whether or not they have a competent table mechanic in your area. Don't take the risk of the setup yourself - let them figure it out. BTW, I've played on a Diamond table...

Some good points, Highsea. I used to play a bit of bar pool myself and agree that adapting to the local rules avoids fights...its just too bad the average "Joe six pack" in the bar doesn't at least understand ball in hand. As for you "Big Jon", I've read a number of your posts. You are most...

Yup, all examples of bad rules...

IMHO, you are buying an establishment that must have a female friendly bar, great equipment, VLT'S and a kick ass kitchen. If any of these are lacking, then you may end up a statistic. Best of luck!

Wow, what rules are you playing? The table is open after the break. A scratch is ball in hand. This "outside the kitchen" stuff is bar crap. Win the table man, and set the rules...

Lanny, you changed my quote. That's dishonest. We're done, kid. Run for politics or somethin...

WHAT-ARE-YOU-TALKING-ABOUT????????? He is a touring pro as far as I can see...just because he doesn't compete in the "no money" tournament circuit...Please, read his instructional posts and if you know anything at all about this game, you'll realize that he IS for real. He's a teacher and an...

With respect, Tom. Please allow the freedoms in this forum that are provided for all people in Amendment I. Sure, check 'im hard when he's profane or steps offside of the Natural Law, but outside of that let him speak his mind... In a world without seemingly wild ideas and uninhibited...

"The guy who wins is the guy that's spent more time at the table"... Got this from one of the top players in my town. He's right, a regular job screws your game up royally... :D

As popular as "The Hustler" was in 1961, that is was screwed things even 'til now. Gambling, smoke, booze, fights...It confirmed the dismal image of the game... Nobody, but nobody's mother wants their son to grow up to be a pool player in North America. That's why the best here live like...

My vote goes to WPC. More prize money (i think its 60K vs. 30K for the winner - I could be wrong but I'm sure it isn't less), non controversial promoter, world wide interest and representation, "Sid" making his comments, "some" TV coverage, and oh yaaaa... its got Steve Davis. I know they're...

Hey Cardinal, I'm not a music expert, but Niel Pert (Peart?) from Rush was always my fav. Can't argue with "Bonzo" either...

I just looked in the BCA rule book. Can't find anything, but I recall reading it somewhere...could have been a rule in the Camel Tour...I'll try and look for those rules.

:D good one! :D

I'm fairly sure that tapping the balls when racking is against the rules...
