    Wishing there were more bank tourneys

    People seem to leave out the facts. Banks is super interesting to anybody who is trying their damndest to learn how to bank well. The problem is, nobody in the general public anyway, wants to learn to bank well so yes it's not a good spectator sport. If you could make a million dollars a...

    What is the greatest single achievement in sports?

    The girl at the end of the olympics, I forget her name, she had like a bum knee and needed a score on the vault and got it to win gold.

    Earl Strickland: More Straight Pool

    I think earl is on the right track big time, but it should be more balanced. If you look into what Ronnie O believes with snooker, he doesn't think slow play should be tolerated much like earl, he thinks people should be shooting in general and that matches should not come to a snails pace, but...

    These "AHEAD" pool gambling races are utter nonsense!!

    All the major sports can't have ahead because of commercial dollars. Tennis matches, for example, as they stand are a somewhat predictable length. Ahead sets can last two hours or two days, there's no way to predict it. That's the simple reason we don't see them on tv, not because they are bad...

    Just assume everything that was alleged was true for a moment... I'm personally taking the drunken grabbing as the lesser of two evils here. Jail time for these social media drama/defamation sessions would not upset me in the slightest.

    Was Dennis Orcollo right by calling this foul?

    That #2 I think is different than the one I'm thinking of. Shane and him were playing 8 ball on a bar box I forget at what tournament, and orcollo was seriously acting like a whining baby because he could not make a ball in the break. He finally ended up just throwing a fit and walking off...

    Was Dennis Orcollo right by calling this foul?

    I gotta say pretty strongly that just because a guy doesn't defend himself doesn't mean a thing in my book. I think the call should just be the call. Period. Guys that are good at defending themselves should get less fouls called on them? I think that only would come up for me if I was a td if I...

    New MC cup captain team USA

    Managers and captains get way too much credit when things go well, and take way too much heat when things go bad. Who cares about this crap, it hardly matters. USA will either want to show up and win, or they won't. My personal guess is that if the victors got like a million bucks each and the...

    Time limit for games like in chess.

    First of all someone would have to buy the punch clocks and put them at each table. Someone would have to watch too, what it a player decides he doesn't want to punch his clock in an inning? What if there were an inordinate number of innings in a game because of saftey play? We would never...

    Should Earl be ejected given the "evidence"

    Almost every match I see where jayson loses there's some sort of argument. The guy is bad for pool I think he should be fined, ejected whatever when he acts like this. Same goes for earl too of course. The reason they act like this is because nobody lays the smack down on them.

    Why Draw?

    If you notice how players hit balls when they hit a tough combo, especially when they make it. It's much more rare for them to use a high, rolling ball on a combo. I'm not gonna go into the physics of it because that is useless, but it's easiest to be as accurate as possible with a low ball. It...

    Ronnie O'sullivan

    I totally agree. I don't think the top pool pros are reaching anywhere near the level of play the top snooker guys are. Impossible to compare it but if we could somehow I bet that's what we'd find. In fact, if the snooker crowd could somehow all morph their talents over into pool, it may have...

    What's the point of inlays?

    The point of them is to get cue collectors to buy more cues, and they are very good at their job apparently. I wonder what percentage of cues are actually, really played with, and what percent just sit in glorified closets. I bet the real number is totally shocking, like not even a tenth of a...

    Snooker vs Pool

    Let me tell you right now without a single doubt, the perception is the money. If golfers had no money and were forced into playing every month for 500 dollar pots they would be low life's in the public eye too, believe me. It's just that there's no money in pool. There is absolutely no...

    What would you like to see accomplished in the world of Pool in 2017?

    Leagues disappear. Longer races in pro tournaments. One pocket begins to become the game of choice for tournament play. No more bar boxes. Ever. More money. Open minds to rule changes. (Why are matches won and lost because a single ball happens to slide in on the break for example? Why...

    Ruslan Chinakhov (RUS) - Lee Vann Corteza (PHI). World Pool Series 2016 Molinari. Fin

    It's honestly been a while since I've seen a top pro play that bad. He started acting like he couldn't get a roll, but it was all him.

    Best Black Players Of All Time

    There's a match with him vs Parica on YouTube playing banks in the la open. If you watch closely mark sorta looks down at parica a couple times in the match and just sorta laughs at him. I mean the guys attitude is just amazing I think there's a lot to be said about getting in that mindset where...
