    No Gambling Sign

    The club I play in has a “No Gambling Aloud” sign but the gamblers seem to be the ones making the most noise. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cues for home guests - house cues or your own?

    I like the idea of having good cues for guests to play with. I rarely have any adults over that I wouldn’t trust with my better cues. I do have 1-piece Dufferins and a handful of McDermott Luckys and Stars for the kids and less respectful adults to use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bergman will play WNT events in 2026

    Do you know Bergman? Is it true he hates airplanes? I’ve also heard he is germaphobic. I doubt that is true but I don’t know him personally so, who knows? I do play just outside his home area and occasionally play people who do know him. I’ve never heard anyone who knows him to say he won’t...

    My guess is, Oscar would like to see that also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A visit with Nick Varner (plus new Joss cue)

    If “all around” is defined as, straight pool, 1-pocket, 8-ball, 9-ball and banks, Nick is easily the best ever, imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is the worst roll you have ever seen?

    Not the classic “bad roll” but Skylar got an awful roll, against Shaw in the Mosconi, on the lag! Not positive but I think it was 2023. I’m not tech savvy enough to post the video, but he scratched on the lag! [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Playing for cash money in 2025?

    I’m surprised to hear that. I’m not far from the StL area and figured it still a hot bed for 1-pkt. I watch $20 - $50 games everyday. I don’t play 1-pkt well, so I don’t play but I watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Playing for cash money in 2025?

    Where I play, it is usually $10, $20 or $50 a set. Mostly races to 4,5 or 7 in both 8-ball and 9-ball. Not much 10-ball played but if it is, it’s the same as 8 & 9 ball. The longer the race, the more $. We also play the APA Amateur race to 7, 5 games of 8-ball and 8-games of 9-ball. Usually for...

    Good Books to Learn From

    IMO, Byrne is the best, to learn the basic physics surrounding pool. His books are, without a doubt, where I learned the “secrets” of pool. Capelle, Wilson and others offer great information, if you already understand what the Byrne books teach. I also think books like “The Inner Game of...

    Finally Made It To Evansville

    O’Brian’s has two 9ft Diamonds and have had for many years. Ownership has changed several times over the last 10 years and the tables aren’t in as good of condition as in the past but they still host a couple of tournaments a week and multiple leagues play there. You can get on one of the 9fts...

    Finally Made It To Evansville

    In the ‘90s there was a bar called Breakers, that also had an elevated bar with brass railing. It was much larger than O’Brians. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    After you win a game a pool...

    If you’re part of a WNT production, yes. WNT already knows they can’t fund a pro pool series with just us die hards. Most of us die hards still think a $5 tip will keep the wheels greased. It won’t. They must expand their audience. If you’re part of a Thursday night BCA league, probably not...

    Does the degree of difficulty really change ?

    It is not more difficult. And since the thread has degraded past your inquiry, I will add, high right is running in the OP diagram. Anyway, that’s my view. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
