I'm not on the forum much at all anymore but I just noticed a thread on Danny Harriman's big run where Palmerfan used some high run list that he credited to me, and Jay saw some missing names, and then Palmerfan said to blame the author. :) Just want to clear my name - the only list I remember...

I had heard rumors that the 2013 BCAPL would hold the first US Open 14.1 in a long, long while. At this point, the rumor appears to be untrue; according to the mass email I just received, they've decided to add an 8-ball tournament to the pro lineup. Nothing about 14.1. Guess we'll have to...

Thought I'd share my last bunch of balls from the Cohen match, which was anything but a conventional pattern. Sometimes you have to take what you get. 10-page diagram below...

Just started. After a miss each, Sigel is at the table down 16-12. You can watch live at go4pool.net. I spoke too soon... Sigel misses a hanger with an open table.

Alex was up huge, 142 to 11. Toasti has since run 141 and the score is now 154 Alex to 153 Thorsten. Wow! Alex on a breakshot...

Not seeing a whole lot posted on results, so here's what I know so far: - Heidrich def. Hatch - Hatch def. Immonen with a 77 and out when Mika needed 5. - Barouty def. Lincoln - Looked like Morris was beating Barouty when I left but not sure how it ended. - Lipsky def. Sossei (ran a 75 :)...

In an effort to get back to what we're here for, I uploaded one of the videos Danny and I shot in early 2009. I run 143 and lose, with Danny running a bunch himself. Some good commentary as well. Anyway, it's amazing how much I've learned from these videos. Though the balls weren't always...

On a 130 on a Diamond (and only 27 balls away from removing a certain affable and talented German from the high run board at Society Billiards), and here is what happens...

Jon Smith beat Mika, about 100-86. Smith is 3-0 and is looking good to get through his insanely difficult bracket. Sigel beat Mika on the TV table, running 102 I think, possibly fouling during the run and not calling himself on it. I didn't see it. Dave Daya ran 93ish against Thorsten on his...

...is silly. Mika, Jim Gottier, Jon Smith, Zion Zvi, and Mike Sigel. One other person, can't remember. There has definitely never been a group that strong in the history of the Predator event. Wow.

Hey all, I had an idea and, after getting Charlie's permission, would like to present it here. It would be a nice thing if we could have a charity-type sponsorship of Charlie as he looks to take down the world next week. Since he has become a major voice in this forum and indeed in all of...

Hey all, So I think there's actually like a 1% chance that I invented a new shot, which to me is kind of funny. I can't imagine there's a whole lot of shots being invented in straight pool in the last 50 years, but I did this the other day and no one I've shown it to has ever seen it...

http://www.azbilliards.com/2000storya.php?storynum=7778 Wow. Open teams can't have a single master, let alone grandmaster. Even master scotch doubles teams can't have two grandmasters. The most bizarre has got to be the changes to the women's master teams, since as far as I can tell, they...

hello hello

Hey guys. I know some of you don't venture into the 14.1 forum much, but a question arose there about how many 200+ ball runners are currently alive. I'm trying to put together a list and would appreciate some help from any of you who might have some good knowledge on the subject. I'm...

I guess this post is directed mostly at Mr. Griffin, who I have found to be nothing but an upstanding gentleman looking out for the best interests of the game. But I am curious for other thoughts as well. How is the BCA guaranteeing a fair process for vetting their international team players...

A serious hypothetical question, that I'll ask in two parts: 1. If SVB were allowed in the men's open in Vegas, what would be his odds of winning the approximately 1,300 player event? 2. If he were allowed to play, but nobody knew who he was, what would the odds be? I came up with about 3:1...

Hey everyone. My friend had his cues and case stolen from the carousel at McCarren Airport as he arrived for the BCAPL a few days ago. The airline messed up and, after bumping him to a later flight, never had someone retrieve his bags from the first one. So they just went round and round at...

Pursuant to my earlier post where I mention getting laid off, I'm gettin' into the lessonin' business! My teaching style is a bit different than most. I will play scotch doubles straight pool, 8-ball, or rotation with you, in a you-shoot-then-I-shoot format. I have found it promotes a great...
