    Is This a Legal Shot?

    It is a foul. This following does not resolve the issue but I have seen this done in leagues. Lowest level players are unofficially allowed to double hit when cb and ob a very close together. The thinking is why take the time to explain and argue a foul in a match where the high run is two...

    What are the Craziest things you've gambled for?

    I'm sorry. I wish I could write. I admire people who write well even more than I admire a great pool player. Unfortunately I can't do either worth a damn. It sucks.

    When the Pros match up, what are Big Money matches really like?

    Whether it is top pros or c level players they face the same problem. If they know the other guys game real well then they know exactly what weight makes for an even game. An even game is a tough game and the result is often a matter of the rolls rather than of skill. As a result a real...
