    Oscar vs. Schmidt 10 ahead one pocket, streaming

    Sometimes I don’t like that they completely miss a great shot or something but overall I enjoy this stream. It feels like watching with friends.

    Oscar vs. Schmidt 10 ahead one pocket, streaming

    The guy with the gravelly voice and the hat was Jerry Mcwhorter the cue maker.

    Lil Joe Villalpando Makes Them Stars.....

    Ironman is another one that I miss from this thread. When we both lived in Denver we had some pretty good battles.

    Rubbing the cue against your chest while down aiming/stroking

    It's kind of funny I just was in a huge slump and one of the things that was causing me to hit the CB off center was...my cue touching my side during my stroke. I moved it out and turned a little more and started hitting the center CB again. I still had a lot of work to do on other things but...

    🎈Gabe Owen Wrapless Merry Widow🎈

    That is a beautiful cue! I played with my Shurtz/Bob Owen yesterday. I took it to the pool hall just to hit a few with it. It's not my regular player because I couldn't stand it getting stolen. I couldn't stop playing with it and shot with it for hours. Delightful! Sounds like Gabe's cues...

    That's a great idea! I'm going to try that.

    2023 World Pool Championship

    Unfortunately I agree. This year I had to make do with watching the daily highlights and it was ok. I was too busy to watch it all anyway so it was nice to just get a recap at the end of the day.

    2023 World Pool Championship

    I agree with everything here. I figured out a long time ago that giving out referrals to 'help my friends' always blew up in my face. I had to give out referrals to help my clients. In other words, be mindful of who you are really trying to help. Recommending a plumber who desperately needs...

    2023 World Pool Championship

    $456 round trip from Chicago on LOT. Not much more than a domestic flight.

    Best/Funny Trash talk

    Guy walks in to the tournament and says he just got bumped to a 5 (APA). Another player tells the TD "He should be at least a 6." TD deadpans:"He won't live long enough to get to a six." Young player trying to stir up action woofing at people. Seasoned veteran is not impressed. Tells...

    Is it considered bad form to take a shot just to screw over your opponent?

    I agree. I think they misunderstood the rule in the first place and thought that it meant CB and/or OB had to be driven to a different rail. I argued with the TD about it but to no avail. I wish I could remember exactly where it was but it was 1995-2000-ish. So based on where I was living...

    Is it considered bad form to take a shot just to screw over your opponent?

    I don't remember what league or tournament but for a while there was a rule that if a ball was frozen to a rail then the CB and/or the OB had to contact a different rail. If you hit a frozen ball and the CB contacted the rail the ball was frozen on and nothing else hit a rail, it was a foul...

    This is why Fargorate Fails...

    That guy (McKay) is my spirit animal! He reminds me of a great player from Denver named Ray Selby. Did not care about position just made every ball.

    This is why Fargorate Fails...

    Fargorate ...ok, the rest of the story. He had only a couple of games in and must have won them all.

    This is why Fargorate Fails...

    It can also go the other way. A guy in a tournament I played a few months ago was rated a 980. He was an APA 5 iirc.

    Moderation Change and Rules Clarification

    That too. But I was referring to the fact that we aren't allowed to post about Moderator issues or complaints. Clearly that topic is 'verboten'.
