Realistically how many pro speed players make a good living just from pool. I think he means "pro" as in a level of skill not necessarily that you make money. Like how chess has International Master Grandmaster etc. based off of FIDE rating. I think that's more what he means. That being said...

I spent a few hours with Max at a bac table at the D once. Absolute pleasure to drink with. He seemed smart enough. He never talked about the earth or anything. He was advising me baccarat has the lowest house edge in the pit as long as you stay away from the sucker bets. He hit a few dragons...

Those good times for room owners for sure. Can't say anything about the city, but I was in middle school in bucks County in the late 90's. There was a pool room in Warrington that had a bunch of gold crowns. We'd wait an hour or 2 to get a table on the weekend. If we had someone with a car...

Don't think it is magnetic, the size is what separates it from the object balls. There's a table at a bar I go to that has one. Definitely a PIA. It's a valley so it can use either that big ball or the magnetic one. I swapped it one night for an aramith bar box cue ball and threw the big one in...

So I've been on a skill plateau for the better part of 3 years. Some days I can't miss and I make position within inches of where I intend. Other days I can't make a ball to save my life. I was thinking that maybe I would be well served to find an instructor that could see me shoot in both...

I play with a measle ball at home, but the 9 ball tournament I play on Wednesdays had blue circle cue balls. I don't know if it's because pool hall cue balls get used a lot or not but the blue circle feels like it plays significantly lighter. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Even if you can't watch it, and I originally couldn't, you have to admit one hole is a fun game to play. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

The better player will probably own the lesser player at a race to 7 in straight pool, if it's a significant difference in skill probably 95 percent or more. A race to 7 in 9 ball, especially if it's on a bar box, I've seen a lot of big underdogs win. Myself included. I think it was the late...

That always was an interesting thing about written vs spoken language to me. You don't hear letters so "I don't give a sh*t", and "I don't give a shit," mean the exact same thing to the reader. Just an alternate spelling really. So how is one better than the other. Sent from my SM-G965U using...

Buick, Netjets, Frys they have nothing to do with golf but they throw up money to fund a tournament that's supporting pro golf. What is pro pool in the US anyway? It's not like there's an organized tour or anything. Isn't it just guys playing in tournaments. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Fair enough. I'm glad you were joking about the movie. I was just trying to make a point that you can be a gambler without being an asshole. With the way the thread ended up going you may have a point about some of us, and I could have picked a better horse to defend.... Sigh Sent from my...

SBC's posts can be aggravating to some at times. I like shooting league but it's not for everyone. Getting more kids into billiards at a young age would obviously be great for the sport and I hope you pursue it. That being said........ jesus christ you come off like a pompous bastard and I...

10 million would be a couple of years worth of some big money added tournaments, or maybe a decent tour for a little while, but I doubt it would last long. There was IPT, Bonus Ball. Now that matchroom is throwing some cash around maybe we'll see something cool happen. It would be nice to see...

Yeah no shit snooker, that's why Tiger's swing coach has so many more majors than him. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

What's that have to do with OJ, or Bart Starr? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure OJ's son did it. There's several books on that. Also f#$% the Packers. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

9 ball banks and 14.1 I think you're right they'd probably bet. Full rack banks and 3 cushion though I'm not sure. I doubt Orcullo plays enough of either that his camp would bet big against someone known to play both regularly. I could be wrong, I know a couple Filipinos that play good 3 cushion...

Amazing collection, your insurance premiums must be sky high. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Lets not blame the wrong things now. If artists stepped away from the pipe we'd have a lot less poetry, not to mention music. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
