The local APA league I used to play in started Masters a few years ago. At first it was just qualifying tournaments in which the first (and sometimes second place) team qualified for the national tournament. I was a 7 in 8 ball and 8 in 9 ball when I played for a team in the tournaments and we...

I agree that a pro tournament prize should never be chopped. If the tournament is running longer than expected, either the remainder of the matches should be played on the next day, especially if the tournament runs longer than the pool room's business hours, or a shot clock should be put in...

It is working for me too.

Sorry Darren assumed Shane was going to take the rack to be up 10-8 but Shane hooked himself and left Ko a runout to make things 9-9.

Darren says it is 10-8 in favor of Shane now.

Maybe Dexter is a Ko fan lol

The last update in this thread says that Ko is about to be up 12-6. WTF!?

Another post in the main forum says Shane is up 8-6, not down. I don't know who to believe. When I try to go to the stream login page, I get a message saying the gateway is down. I'm using Chrome. I'll keep trying to get on.

Congrats on meeting your goals! I made it to a 7 in APA 8-ball about 2 years ago after going through a really hot streak. It felt good but I was almost in the same boat as you; most of the other SL 7's in the league I considered to be better than me and I would not do well against them. Then I...

I can relate to the OP. I have often been told by other players, especially league players, that I am too hard on myself. They do not understand that I hold myself to higher expectations when I play because I know what I am capable of when I give 100%. If I do not perform at the level I want to...

I consider myself a low or mid level B player but I would never gamble for a large amount with someone who was far above my level. I will only play for an amount that I can afford to lose and in the past, when I have played for money that I could not afford to lose, I was too nervous to play my...

Whether the shot is legal or illegal, if you tried to shoot through the bottom of the pocket in most places, you would get some strange looks at the least and very possibly be called out on it. I see no scenario where it would be more useful to shoot from a very uncomfortable position than to...

That was one of the greatest racks of 9 ball I have ever seen! Epic!

My personal best is 5 racks of 9 ball during a monthly bar table tournament that was held a few years ago in Macon, GA. I was on the winner's side and the race was to 7 for both my opponent and I. My opponent was winning 5-0 and he left me a shot. I won that game to make it 5-1 and then I broke...

I have always thought how you think, especially since I quit playing so much and my game is very inconsistent lately. Some days I shoot lights out most days I struggle to run a rack of 9 ball on a bar table. I know that I can shoot much better because I have been in a high gear in the past and...

I caught a hustler once. He came into the pool hall and beat a local player named Jack for two sets. Jack was about a decent C level player and he getting some weight but he still could not fade the hustler. When Jack tried to get more weight, the hustler declined the game. Jack offered to back...

I heard Stevie had that issue very bad but every time I have seen him play it does not look that bad. The guy who told me about Stevie shaking could have been exaggerating though.

The table looks huge from the angle they used. The stream has excellent quality. I wish all streams could run at 720p or better but the bandwidth needed for that probably exceeds the bandwidth of most internet connections in the U.S. :(

I agree but trying to teach the rules of international snooker to those who have played American snooker for years would be an act of congress if you know what I mean. Many of the guys I play American snooker with have been playing a certain way for longer that I have been on this earth and they...

Yes the local rules are sometimes vague and vary from player to player. Like I mentioned previously, I did not call the foul. I did not even say anything to anybody else about whether or not it was a foul. At the time I did not consider it a foul and I knew the opposing player's intentions...
