You have to be kidding about this - or mistaken I hope. If neither than that's pretty sick behavior by Karen. In the OP's example, tournament director's should, above all else, follow a 'common-sense' logic to decisions. In this example, it really doesn't make any sense that the player at the...

If you order a gross you also get a set of Ginsu knives and a Mega Memory book, but only if you call within the next 15 minutes. Hurry! Operators are standing by.

Penn and Teller said it best, that's Bullshit!

The only way to stop missing is...stop playing - forever. Downside is you have to stop making shots too but, hey, you asked.

So where do all the NYC pool regulars go to play right now?

I heard it did. If so, where are the Corner Billiardsers going now?

I too gamble, and I certainly don't consider it a disease. In fact, I don't consider addictive gambling or alcoholism diseases either. Both are behavioral choices that a person makes. You don't just 'become' addicted to booze or gambling, it happens over time, and it happens because you...

This is a joke, right. Do you honestly believe that the US did nothing. Maybe nothing that day but come one, the nation was grieving and showing respect EVERY DAY for months. Maybe we were just too busy trying to dig up the wreckage and the bodies that day. You obviously don't understand...

I never clean my shafts with anything but water. I get a slightly damp rag and run it gently over the shaft, then dry it with a paper towel or with a dry rag. Alcohol and other solvent-type liquids like lighter fluid (kerosene) or vinegar (an acid) can't do anything but harm, in my opinion...

This thread would be a fitting tribute to 9/11 if more people would post their stories from that day, and less would focus on some stupid issue of an apology/flame.

It's pool related for me as well, because like a lot of others, I was at the US Open in Chesapeake that week. I'll never forget the call from my dad that morning to wake me up, and tuning in to CNN just about 30 mins before the first tower fell. When I heard about the event I immediately...

Let's set it up. I think you should get in touch with Ronnie and see if he's interested. If he is, I'll see what I can do about contacting Efren - though I make no promises on that, I don't know him very well.

Fair enough.

John's point is a good one. Chasing a dream is a good thing, but do it for the dream and the love of the pursuit, and not for the money that might go with it. And, of course, chasing a dream is a lot more fun when you achieve it!

Is 'knowing a pro' something that warrants respect? I didn't know that. I know about 200 of them, should people respect me more than someone who knows none? Wierd. The theory that larger purses would attract more TV hours is valid, but do you really care whether players that you might not...

It's a mystery to me is why so many people on this board think that pool players deserve to make a lot of money. It's as though just because there is big money in other sports like golf and tennis there should be big money for every sport. I mean, who cares whether pro pool players are making...

I believe he also gave a personal guarantee once that Coral Calcium cured cancer. Would anyone be willing to bet that, now that he has turned a substantial profit from the IPT, Kevin Trudeau could care less what happens to the tour, the players, or the fans?

I have to agree with this. I've played most of the guys mentioned and these are the breaks that concern me the most during a match. However, Larry is notoriously wild with his break and I've seen him jump the cue ball into the next zip code on more than one occasion. The question is a little...

You probably either 1) took your eye off the ball 2) misjudged the angle and hit the ball fat because you wanted to hold for the 6 ball Neither of these are particularly massive errors. If I turned off the lights and questioned my abilities every time I did that I would have given up the game...

You don't consider John Schmidt a 'top player'? Give me a break. Same goes for Tang. How many times does someone have to finish runner-up in the US Open before they get that label?
