https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/10/23/nyregion/nba-illegal-poker-games-indictment.html Reading the indictment for the rigged poker games involving NBA celebrities and the mob made me think of this thread, with aliases including Spanish G, Flappy, The Wrestler, Spook, Juice, Black Tony...

I try to warn people not to buy me but they never listen :sneaky:

Truly shocking that the Washington State Gambling Commission, which works alongside regulated corporate gaming interests and the state taxman, is trying to stop unregulated, illegal gambling involving thousands of dollars in under the table, unreported cash payments :eek: In other news, dog...

Nice idea. IMO this seems a little aggressive in weighting the top players and is basically a measurement of the top few players with some stray extras thrown in. Players 24 through 64 combined count the same as Player 1, which seems more like "barely caring" than "caring somewhat". How about...

Thanks for fighting the good fight against a poster I long ago blocked (y)

Hot take. It's a free country to have them, at least for a little while longer.

4th on the money list with wins at the European Open and DCC 9 ball, top 5 US Open, top 10 China Open. He has had a nice year, though not quite up to his standard from 2023-2024 where he was #1 and #2 respectively.

CSI shouldn’t be so thin skinned.

What would the lower MPH limit be for a legal break?

Since when is a 6 pack boring?? Insane take.

Imagine if the Masters champion from 2024 failed to receive an invite to the US Open in 2026. Laughable.

Bingo.

Pajamas are for the bedroom. Or at least they used to be. On the flip side, it’s easier than ever to look great in public now that dressing like a slob is in.

A successful pro tour will have mechanisms to ensure top players have preferential tournament access and privileges, fostering rivalries and increasing fan familiarity, while allowing new faces to bubble up. Pool isn’t quite there yet but there are many templates to copy, notably snooker on the...

And people say pro pool doesn’t need a shot clock.

Did he act like a tantrum-throwing 2 year old or did he manage to hold himself together and act like a mopey 12 year old?

Well Chua just gave one right back after missing this shot!

Chua was about to go down 5-1 to Dutch youngster Quinten Pongers but Pongers scratched on the 9 ball.

Well, the people who are so insistent that slop shots have been a key driver in the result of important pro matches seem to be coming up dry when it comes to proving their point. If it’s so common there should be a number of them at the ready as demonstration.

Did the result of the match likely change? If this happens when you’re up 6-0 or down 0-6 then it doesn’t matter. Luck is part of 9 ball in every game due to the randomness of the break. You can get lucky or unlucky by being one inch in the wrong direction to be perfectly straight in or having...
