Original Post Summary and Updates, with Off-Topic comments thread summary created. see next message...

Ok, I get it. I apolgize for my negative comments. I should know better than to energize and propagate the vibe. I know that frustration vented with judgements of other people's actions is counter-productive. I have edited out the original rant. Hopefully other posters will do the same, and all...

Returning to the topic: And now for the big news: My eye doc is one of the first to have a new system which checks for, and can correct, "high-order abberations" which were previously undetectable and uncorrectable. This system is a new invention by Opthonix a hot, privately held bio-tech...

i don't catch your drift, guru... say what?

Photo taken Jan 1, 2008 Instead of a traditional hanging table light, which would partly obstruct the ocean views, I use 6 halogen ceiling lights. It's tough to see in this night photo, but there is a hammock just outside the sliding doors. This is quite comfortable for opponents to relax...

I record the matches on TiVo, and replay them later. The first time, I actually listen to the blah, blah, blah, but... I get a lot more out of the match when I turn the sound OFF! That way I can really tune in to what happens, analyzing and thinking some of MY thoughts, rather than the blah...

When you beat me at a couple of matches, you were a perfect gentleman. But when I beat you at a couple of matches, I may have been rude, but that's because I learned to shoot pool in Philadelphia, and that's just the way we do things there! ;o)

I just upgraded from an 8.5 foot Olhausen to a 9 foot Brunswick GC IV and there is no doubt in my mind that it was worth it. I feel so much more comfortable in tournaments on full size tables now. If you can get a Gold Crown, do it!

Smoke free environments are the ONLY way to go. I will not play in a tournament where smoking is permitted, period.

I was having challenges with missing easy shots and getting real nervous during tournaments, so I asked for help from a good friend (Barry Jones )who is a professional hypnotist... It was not easy for me, as I am a total control freak, and would NEVER allow myself to be hypnotized in the past...

I got the whole set in DVD format, and am working my way through them. The DVDs are nothing more than a dump of the video, with no indexing etc. And the "production values" (clarity, lighting, multi-cameras, etc) are extremely low, but... the bottom line is that Bert K. knows his stuff, and can...

Romantic love is a Madness, but thankfully usually temporary. Relationships based on Madness are Delusional, representing the triumph of Optimism over Reason, and eventually result in the medical condition known as being Pussy Whipped, a symptom of which reduces grown men to begging for a pool...

That guy reminds me a lot of a good friend of mine, Joey. Especially the attention span part, and how people like this shoot pool. I call it "Joey Pool" and wrote about it in my blog at this link. Check it out, you may enjoy the story/photo!

Thanks for those first 6 good replies. Very helpful and appreciated.

Anyone have any feedback on the Predator Limited Edition cues, especially the LE-11? See this link: http://www.predatorcues.com/english/LE11.htm Do these cues hold their value? What's the workmanship like? Thanks for you help...

High on the wall at Mikie's Fun House, there's a sign facing the pool table: "NO SNIVELING" (I hate it when they snivel)
