    Sbx cues of the year.

    I loved Dave. I won this cue at the 2015 Expo in the auction. Well, I won a voucher to get a cue and picked this one and paid the difference (voucher was up to $1,000). The cue caught my eye that day but I was in no position to drop $1250 on a cue at that point and I said that to Dave, who...

    My 1 day expo review

    Trust me, if I had one I'd do the same exact thing. After spending 11 hours there on your feet, the last thing you want to do is walk all the way to your car, drive the 15 minutes down to King of Prussia and then hoof it to your hotel room.

    My 1 day expo review

    Parking is always a bear on Friday and Saturday but this year did seem to be a bit extra. Reading your comments about the RVs, its so simple I can't believe no one has thought of it. Consolidate the RVs in the back or side lots. It gives the campers a sense of community too instead of being...

    Tooled It's George case

    I have one of the It's George cases from when Roberts did a limited run of them in 2015 that Omega was selling. It's still my favorite case and never leaves the house for fear that it gets swiped at the pool room.

    My favorite Rio moment was when the place got overrun with grasshoppers in 2019.

    Mosconi cup to florida

    Its about Formula 1 taking over Vegas during the fall and screwing up everything for other events.

    Mosconi cup to florida

    I'm biased, being on the east coast and absolutely hating Las Vegas and thinking the place is played out, so I'm happy with the move. I have no opinion on the venue since I haven't been there.

    Welcome to Gestapo Billiards. Have a good time.

    I may have run her off accidentally. I was coming in one Saturday as she was leaving, saw the powder all over the table and said out loud, "what the fuck happened to this thing?" I haven't seen her (or powder in that room) since.

    Welcome to Gestapo Billiards. Have a good time.

    A few years back, the pool room in Harrisburg, PA where I play had a female player who always used powder when she came in to play and left the table looking like something out of Scarface.

    So Skyler got drug tested immediately after losing to Oi???

    I think (hope) he was being tongue in cheek and doing a greatest hits of some of the statements made here in the past.

    End of the US Open?

    Play them in big time pool rooms like Griffs or Q-Masters or set up an tournament in a casino like Turning Stone or Soaring Eagles it has a big event feel for the entrants. Other than that, I agree with everything here.

    End of the US Open?

    I think it’s getting better. The first year of the World 10 ball in Vegas you had a handful of people watching on the outside tables. Now it’s pretty packed in most days.

    End of the US Open?

    Satellites will also benefit the amateur from a cost standpoint, since its gonna be a lot cheaper to go play an event in Syracuse for a couple of days than pay Atlantic City hosts costs in August.

    World 10-Ball Championships, Feb-Mar 2024, Las Vegas, The Rio

    Just got home from there yesterday. Each night I had to show my room key to the security guard to be allowed access to the elevator up to my floor.

    You must be going to Club Med, where it’s tough to get a table a lot of nights.

    Shaw concedes down 5-0

    It may fix itself if the top pros stop showing and this becomes a nine day version of Super Billiards Expo. When it happens once, it’s an aberration. When it happens twice in a row, it’s a routine.
