Play somebody a race to seven for 35 instead. That's one if the things we do have going for,us if you've got 40 in your pocket you can even play a champion and probably dictate all the terms.

Meanwhile, at least half of all the absolute world beaters I can think of never even get close to a smile at the table.

I have a hard cue case. I wrap my case with cardboard before checking it and tape it up. Haven't had a problem yet. I just worry about directly exposing the case to the luggage machines, those things can be nasty. Oh, and insert some newspaper at the top inside the case so there's no play, or...

I sort of agree with pt109. The task of making any ball 100 times in a row can inject some serious mind games into the equation. On the other hand, you could argue he's gonna get in stroke with the shot and just be nailing it. My only contention is that to make it 100 times in a row isn't a...

That decision surprises the hell out of me.

I think shooting a shot 100 times in a row is a bit different than the percentage top players will make this in actual play. I have seen the best players shoot this shot on the money ball well over 100 times. You just don't see the guys miss this ball, even on tight pockets. It is essentially a...

Hustling essentially translates effectively into ability to make money at the pool table. I wonder how much money he has then. Must be lots?

I agree. I think that's about as fair a stance as there is in this scenario.

This is the same concept as an intentional walk in baseball. They gotta throw those pitches. Anything can happen. It would not be fair to the offensive team to let them out of that obligation, errors can occur in the process. Personally, I would just let him know I'm not going to shoot until you...

Oops forgive me I made a mistake post...

That is frikng awesome.

You can spot the closest ball up, which is probably a no brained almost every time. I believe incoming player would have the option though.

That was probably fezziwigs, which is gone now. There were three owners. One player, and the other two pool fans but not players. I take it you sold to the player? He is a good player. He posts over at onepocket.org so maybe start a similar thread there? I'm just not so sure if he'd like me to...

People think this guy is funny too, and they love him. I actually love it too, I think this is hilarious. I just don't know why being as ridiculous as you possibly can qualifies you for anything other than being an idiot in many of these cases. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W7_LtfKYTf4 But...

Honestly, I'd be perfectly willing to admit if I'm somehow not sophisticated enough to get him. I just felt it was more of a laughing at him vibe, but you guys didn't so I can appreciate that. I just have this thing nowadays everyone's goal seems to be to "go viral". No matter how stupid or...

It's true pool doesn't have a large fan base. I remember when Mika was unstoppable for a good couple years though. I remember even players were lining the stands watching his matches. If you've got the fan base, playing great is enough. Efren is the other example. But yeah it's true we need that...

Luat missed a ball much easier than this against Strickland and he was in the hill. Luat had his hand on the table and I mean it was very easy. Being on the rail can mess with your aiming and stroke at times of course. Luat miss https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jdUQyO1yfUY

Pool players change shafts though. I've seen this happen in the middle of full fledged pro pool without incident. I've had a million guys do this and I shoot the ball in without letting it affect me. At least that's what I tell myself.

Your first two half sentences are off topic. What you bring up next is interesting... essentially what you're saying is act like an idiot, but hey if it goes viral you're doing great. Yes this is all great info for our kids. Show your ass in that bikini and make a sex tape and "go viral". Why...

Stop projecting and you and I will be fine. Meanwhile, let me get back to my big trolling behavior of editing posts and saying a guy dogged it when he dogged it. Man I really got my troll going today. Amazing how it's never happened until you cam along, huh?!
