    My Fargorate progression

    I watched a few hours myself.. I agree, the first set was well played on your part, and you struggled a bit in the second. Opponent seemed to be struggling with fundamentals and thinking processes at first, and improved (a bit) later in the second set. If you are looking for constructive...

    My Fargorate progression

    Bad link. I tried to post the correct one, but the forum won't accept the live link.

    Simonis 860HR slide

    So.. As my table has become more worn, the speed/slide difference between my Diamond Pro/Am (in super wet wine country) and the club Gold Crowns is becoming more pronounced.. I have confirmed that the table was installed with 860, while the club tables have 860HR. I went over to another club...

    German/Euro Players - Need some help finding Fargorated events

    "Right" now? It's prolly fairly accurate at 550 or so. With a "little" practice? Somewhere right at, or a little north of 600. I've beaten some 650-675 players in my German club, when I had been practicing heavily. I have no idea what my rating would have been at during my run in CO/WY, if the...

    832

    Well.. I was actually referring to 9 ball when I made the above comment.

    I think pool was more fun to watch when the cloth/rails played slower, and players had to knock the ever loving hell out of the break to have even a chance of making a ball. Also, this results in more variance as to the position after the break, leading to a wider variety of runouts, and some...

    German/Euro Players - Need some help finding Fargorated events

    So.. I have decided I want to make the attempt to really commit to improving my overall level of play, AND Fargorate this year, but I have having some trouble figuring out which events to play. At one point I was around 590 Fargorate, and that didn't even include the tear I went on for about 6...

    Oh, no doubt. Filler put on a spectacle, shooting circus shots like they were absolute hangers, and seemed absolutely immune to the pressure. And what's crazy? Filler prolly shoots about half a ball better now.

    las vegas open

    SJM, If I remember this correctly, this is the match where Filler decided he hated his carbon fiber shaft, and decided just before the match to switch back over to his wood shaft, but the shaft was actually slightly warped when he took it out of his case.. Some random dude said "gimmee your...

    Current State/Cost of Salotto

    I was talking about the event you mentioned. I figured out it was the Iron City events. You really think I stand a chance in the split bracket, if I practice up some?

    Match probability calculator, given Fargo ratings

    Rly? You put me at about 610 (which I think is about right for how I was playing when you saw me), and you've seen me on video beating the ghost 7-3 on a Diamond Pro/Am 4 3/8" table.. I realize that was a single set, and I am likely not a favorite to do that 100% of the time.. But on a...

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    I was in WA state at Fort Lewis from 95-98, the golden age of pool in the state. Mike Zimmerman, Dan Louie, and J.D. were the best 9 ballers, and Harry Platis was often in action playing One Pocket with some of the better players.. There were a few great Canadians that came down and played in WA...

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    Oh, sorry. I could have sworn I saw one post outta the blue in one of his threads ub the past week. It might have been someone else responding.

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    Sorry to bring up the zombie thread, but I got hooked on your posts due to the somewhat amusing level of self confidence... That you've haven't really earned with your results. Let me break it down for you, man... I am currently a 548 Fargorate, due to a couple of bad tournaments here in...

    No more Seybert’s?

    When it comes to online retailers and tracking click-throughs... There really is no "Maybe they think" to it. Any online retailer providing links for advertising dollars, can measure exactly how many sales that particular advertising link provides. They can measure how long the person following...

    Current State/Cost of Salotto

    Thanks for that.. So.. $60.00 a year, and so long as I am playing free Salotto members, I can play as many matches as I want (and submit them to Fargorate), for no extra cost? So long as I am the one to generate the match? I thought it was more expensive/convoluted than that..

    Current State/Cost of Salotto

    So, am I correct in saying that the costs would be? - Me - $50/year + $3 per match Opponents with free account - nothing

    No more Seybert’s?

    But the fact very much remains... The vast majority of active members in NPR ARE old.. And white. And express many of the same views that tend to go with that combination. Comfort with casual racism, etc.
