I like work and I like action. I'll take whatever wager you'd like to make that I don't post a link to an application in this thread that does just what I said it would before Halloween 2022. Escrow required over $500.

Indeed! E-sports is another model for how to get young people into the game. Stats, leveling up, character development, are all familiar in the video game world, and could be imported in various degrees to pool. Scooter is a life-sized, talking, walking, video game character; it isn't a hard...

I totally agree. But, I'm not interested in running a maths camp. I'm trying to find ways to get more punters to play in pool tournaments so that there are places to play 20 or 50 years from now. If we can make the game friendly to some of the people who currently spend their time on sports...

Sure thing. Next I go to the bowling alley I'll see if they have an overhead and grease pen. But seriously, one of the big complaints at DCC is not knowing when you play. APA using paper scoring is a PITA. Those poor captains. If we could make it a little easier for folks to compete, keep...

I was working through the thread in the main forum about ways we could improve pool for spectators and it got me thinking about ways to get more folks interested and participating in competitive pool. The World Poker Tour has given life to a million small card games and tournaments played all...

Vaya con dios. Condolences to Joe's family and friends. What a terrible tragedy.

Great minds! That's the idea, but maybe with funny money, so the loss is fixed, and the payout maybe goes 5 deep when the horn goes off. You could run it once a month if the buy in was low enough. Give the fish a chance, at least for a little while. I think the incentives for better...

I totally agree that, that is the problem. It would be fun if you could make the game-making part of the game. I'd love to watch some B+ APA player negotiate a match with SVB; you could see someone negotiating for all the breaks, the 6 out, and an extra BIH each rack. It would be a show!

I see pro pool as having a bit of a dilemma between the golf model and the Pro Poker Tour. I've worked much of my adult life in the golf industry and what's funny is that there is much more gambling on golf courses in the US than pool rooms these days, but the PGA tour, USGA et al do a great...

This is a great suggestion that really helped me. I had developed a weird fear about touching the table with the cue tip that was causing me to poke. Doing this drill, and deliberately setting the tip down on the "x" for a few minutes got me sorted right out.

Hello. I'm Patrick. I live in Washington DC. I don't play too often anymore, but used to play pretty regularly. I started playing in the 90s in Newport News at Obelisk Billiards Club. It was a great place to play with loads of great people. In retrospect, I got to see and play with some of...

I think you get to the point of the matter. If you always practice on tight tables, and then play on a looser table, but don't adjust your game to take advantage of the new possibilities of the looser table, you have created a disadvantage for yourself. For example, what looks like an "on"...
