    Do you know anyone that has been banned from a pool room?

    Not a pro, Jason Hunt comes to mind... not sure where he's even allowed actually 🤣🤣

    Why not Pinegar?

    Man, even if the US had 3 Sky's and 2 SVB's, they still wouldn't be the favorite, LOL!. It doesn't matter who get's on the team. Europe gets the pick from several different countries, the US only gets the US. Need to open the west to Canada, Mexico and South America. MR claims to want worldwide...

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    I get what you are saying here and I'm not saying you're incorrect. If you take the whole thread topic and combine all the thoughts, it actually does make sense. The main topic is many people today believe that today's players, SVB here, are superior to the players of the past. The rule changes...

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    agreed... i was pointing out that he won the world championship with that monster side rail break with a head on hit, and shortly after he won, that break is no longer allowed. With regards to all time great players, in this case talking about SVB, over the past 15 years several changes have...

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    Totally agree, hell, the man wins his first WC and they immediately change the break format again on him…

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    I can agree with this, what impressed me the most about Sigel is he knew how to win, which I believe is a skill same as any other. I'll never believe Sigel had Earl's or SVB's high gear, but, he won a lot, his record in final matches is amazing. As far Efren goes, 9 ball was likely not his best...

    Pros today vs the pros yesterday

    Who wins - 9 ball 5 against 5. Each race is first to 25 games on Today's equipment. No break rules but 9 on the spot. SVB, Filler, Fedor, Ouchan, FSR vs Earl, Efren, Siegel, Archer, Busty

    SVB looking away from shot

    it's possible you could be referring to the look away and then back again just before he breaks. Billy and few other players mentioned it during the WP masters event a few years ago and I've also heard about it on a few other streams with JJ. Not sure, but, I think it's like an oddity or tick he...

    Who is your favorite player and why?

    ALL TIME - SVB, EFREN, EARL. no particular order. These guys seem to me to be the most naturally gifted. All have won several titles in multiple disciplines. Stroke and genius level IQ on the table still amazes and teaches me. I'd like to also applaud Alison Fisher. When she came over, her...

    What would it take to solve the 9ball golden break?

    I've always been in favor of the rule, "a player cannot win or lose on the break". This being said, I think MR has it right and needs to leave the rules alone in order to collect more data. The pocket size has been reduced, spot ball moved, break area designated.... It seems like more golden...

    Which country has the best pool players?

    Jasonlaus... Thank you, I needed a good laugh today.

    Calcutta records?

    Many moons ago, I bought myself for $5.00, that's right five bucks, won the event and took home $3800. I thought it was an OK night.

    Scott Frost's opinion about Predator tables

    I've only noticed the predator tables in the predator events. All the other big pro events are Diamonds or Rassons that I recall. I did hear the Vegas bar table event switched from Diamond to predator, and boy there was a ton a complaining. I just chalked that up to the way all the Valley...

    World Pool Masters 2023 (10-13 May), nineball, Essex UK, Winner $40K

    Just my humble opinion, but, I'd put Big Ko as the favorite from here on. SVB has a good chance in there match for sure, no doubt, however, Ko is so powerful and with his confidence high... dangerous. SVB would be second. Of course, all these guys are top tier, so, might be a pick em!

    Scotty Townsend Memorial?

    Just this morning on the way to drop him off at school, my 14 year son asked me a serious question... "Dad, are all girls Bipolar?" :oops: I could only say, son that's a good question, I've no idea, but, I would not suggest you ask any of them that, ever... haha!

    SVB Vs Gorst, first round in World Pool Master

    With the new format, 9,9,11&13 final along with winner break, I can see it shaking out like a mini WC9. I'd bet on one of the previous 7 WC9 winners that are in this field, possibly more if I missed someone... Really like this change and believe this event will be even more exciting this year!

    When playing/practicing with a lower skilled player - Do you change your strategy?

    Glad to hear you make time for young and up N coming players in your area. I had a ton of help from our local legends over the years for sure. Keep it up good man. I agree with your logic and I usually point out to lesser players that goofing off with friends or "bad practice" is worse than...

    What Is Up With Master Chalk?
