    Catfishing. The number of lonely women with good credit out there is surprisingly large.

    Kudos to the 714-Run Video Authenticator

    Somewhat lost in the 714 hoopla is the monumental feat of actually authenticating said video (and my apologies if I missed another post about this). Credit is certainly deserved here! We're talking about tediously scanning hours of video for splices that are undetectable to the human eye, and...

    Question about 8-Ball Sets

    8-Ball Question: On average, how long do races to 4 take? (Average players - say APA 5/6 or Fargo 400-525) I'm trying to do scheduling for a tournament. TIA.

    Blacklisted?

    1) A woman. 2) Covid snitch. 3) Cue trafficker. 4) Business skullduggery. 5) Drug dealer/O.D. In order of likelihood.

    Predator Arena Light & Diamond Table question

    Wondering which finish on the Pred Arena Light is better matched with a black Diamond table, Matte Black or Brushed Aluminum? TIA.

    I saw Shane Van Boening at a grocery store

    (y) He probably hasn't seen it before. Also apparent he wants everyone to think it's original by the lack of quotes or a punchline. 😂

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Interesting chart. Two of the Cyclops sets appear to be the most consistent, with only 1 gram variation. But this is literally splitting hairs. By comparison, the vintage ball weights are all over the place. This would seem to put a premium on vintage balls with deviations similar to modern...

    Pause in Backstroke, Does It Help, How?

    Some pretty well-respected personalities in the pool world harp on the importance of having a notable pause in your backstroke. Jeremy Jones routinely mentions the pause during critiques. Mark Wilson has the differences between pros and amateurs broke-down to tenths of a second. Here's the...

    $1000 max, what's your playing cue?

    In no particular order. A quality CF shaft. The balance on a light-weight butt, any butt. The most decorative bang for the buck that speaks to me I can find. I've used the CF long enough that there's no turning back. They've got me right where they want me.

    How's Facebook Doing?

    I've heard people talking about some connection between this, and the whistleblower testimony tomorrow. Mostly speculation I believe. When I looked this afternoon, their stock was down 6%. Earlier this evening, my wife said Zuc had dropped one spot on the list of world's richest people over this.

    A Typical Percentage for Steakhorses?

    A tournament is a completely different animal. The payout isn't 1:1 like a typical cash game. (Will edit the OP to specify that which I was referring. However, I'm leaving "stake" spelled as-is. It's friggen Friday.)

    Hey it's a Friday afternoon. But yeah, I deserve that.

    A Typical Percentage for Steakhorses?

    Just wondering what the cut is typically for steakhorses. Not necessarily PRO-level steak horses, which I'm sure can command top dollar. Let's say "very good" players, in the mid-to-upper-600's and up. What's the range? EDIT: In terms of a cash game. (Not tournaments.)

    Interesting pool story in the news

    You're both right on some level.

    US Open Commentary: The Good, Bad & The Ugly

    The commentary was great. It thought they handled it particularly well/professional when all three were mic'd up at once (Phil, Nick, JJ). It could've just as easily been a chitshow, but instead their timing, and the way they played off one another was perfect. I know they're pool players first...

    For format of the CSI ten-ball was complete rubbish.

    Nothing wrong with different events varying the format. Unless, perhaps, something comes along that really sticks. A lot of people liked this format (and some did not. Mostly staunch traditionalists it seems, and that's fine too). But nobody is being forced to watch something they don't like...

    7 foot diamond ruining my game

    Funny, my game is taking off. Partly because of 7' Diamond. But I think the table, any table, only deserves so much of the credit.
