Neil, we may start burning books and policing every post to protect people too lazy to google an issue. They might believe some joker and we just can't take that chance. I will blame you personally for any disagreements from this point forward! note: google "sarcastic"

Craig, While your argument seems to make sense on a personal level, when it comes to a company or individual promoting themselves I don't think there's any room for modesty in our current world marketplace. Calling themselves a "master craftsman" is almost a requirement. Great ideas with...

I've gambled where I would play using a small trash can as my cue, or a piece of chalk to hit the cueball. Tossing coins at the spot is a favorite also.

I would choose practice. I chose gambling early on, playing even against champions. I was told that was the "only way to become a player". After losing about $90k I became a winning player, but now looking back I think gambling and practicing with people your own speed or slightly better would...

I disagree!!!!! Gambling on math at school would improve test scores like you wouldn't believe. It would also bring an unhealthy love of math to those who previously didn't care about it. To improve kids math even more we could have the losers of big bets be humiliated in front of the entire...

your avatar is an azbilliards national treasure. I was just daydreaming about being Chuck Norris and my keyboard roundhouse smacked me across the face.

I believe there's a little more luck in one pocket. The stress on each ball is more intense in straight pool. I would say those two games create a bigger gap between a better player and his opponent. I've gone a year or more playing guys straight pool and one pocket without ever losing a game to...

new commercial I just watched a Guinness beer commercial about the invention of the pool table. Is this a new one, has anyone seen it? I liked it, pretty funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmBwGGgkFqQ

Yoda says, "If aware of breath you are, miss you will. To be unconscious, it is best." Or like my grandma used to say, "Shoot the ball in the hole, ya blabbering idiot, all that mental crap is for the sucker racking the balls." Or like a guy who once beat me many years ago said, "Remember...

I think it took 6 or 7 tries, try it yourself and you'll see how accurate you can get, it's surprising

lol...you've said it so many times you're starting to convince me.

haha! that's awesome, I used to gamble where I had to hop around on one leg, then shoot jacked up under my leg, eventually you just can't stop laughing, your leg cramps up and you have to forfeit the money because you can't finish the game. It may hurt when it's out in the middle of the table...

I don't remember a guy like that from Seattle, but I didn't get up there much, mostly around Portland. That's Mel Waiter's Everything Going Up. I am going to try to make it to DCC in the next couple years, college has interfered so far though. If I make it there I will definitely be in some...

thanks Leonard. I'm still surprising myself at how controlled and accurate different shots can be hit one-handed with an unhealthy amount of practice. I've been practicing power draws one-handed and other shots and am amazed that the possibilities are even greater than I first thought for...

I never was a good hustler, I always came out firing and ended up playing the best guy in town and winning enough to buy one shoe. Dippy would tear me apart playing cards, but playing only one hand....I would have a chance!

I actually got the idea yesterday and tried it out last night, good times.

I was afraid of that. This one is just for entertainment purposes. It looks like not many people are reading the info box on the video. I think the seamless nature of the music and editing will confuse a lot of people. It's a drill I like to do, perfect runout, set each shot back up until you...

a few takes, but I wouldn't say HOURS..... : ) ....wait...what time is it?

lol yes you do, does anyone read the info on videos?

wanted to share my latest video. one-handed, behind the back 10ball kick pool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVhmAtx3p8U And for those who say it's impossible, you're right!
