Hi ole friends! In my neck of the woods they just cracked down on playing pool, again. I'd like to share a link below where you can e-sign a petition to be sent to our N Carolina governor. NC just shut down the ability to play pool in 5 places because of a disgruntled APA players complaint...

Hello ole friends! The Greensboro NC contingent will roll north next week. It'll be my 10th in 12 years. Who's going? I hope to cya there - tilt a couple and maybe roll a couple at the Q! I roll in at 1pm Thursday.

Sooo... I'm in a ring game last night and I shake after 3 games - before the next break for rack 4. I was told I couldn't because I didn't call it the rack before - thereby notifying a rack, or partial rack in advance. We play you can shake after 3 games minimum. For those that have Ring...

I've done it before, on differing laptops. But have been stymied the last couple days. I switch the flat screen (not a smart TV) to RGB. No video... I try holding down the Fn key & hit all kinds of F7's, F12, etc. No soup for me! Any tips? Thanks in advance!

Yesterday an opponent made a good hit on the OB, but during the shot his stick inadvertently hit another ball. That ball moved a few inches and the CB hit it after the legal hit. The CB would not have hit it had that ball not been hit. Is that BIH?

This happens a lot... Someone owes a ball & it's forgotten to be spotted after his inning (and he has a ball in his pocket). An inning or two passes when the coin is discovered indicating an owed ball. When do you spot the ball? I read the rules for the DCC, but I don't know if that's gospel...

I recently played in N. Carolina whereby an opponent - who had no decent shot on the 1 ball, shot the 9 ball in - which was hanging in the jaws of a pocket. There obviously was no attempt or intent to make a legal ball. The opponent wouldn't budge. Therefore the 9 spotted and the incoming...

It's not like we have a ton of rich tournaments to compete in. Better food? Women? Weather?

There's so many good posts here amongst the others. I'd like to encourage people to rep more, regardless of the criticized points based VBulletin system. Geez, some guests here don't know how to give it or how to check theirs. Who doesn't like a pat on the back? I think it's healthy for our...

We have such diversity in our pool desires to achieve and ? Do feel free to enjoy this short song and perhaps think about what you want from pool. It's a beautiful game that means different things to different people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV_jD8K3p6Y :)

We seasoned travelers all have a couple, eh? This one is from the US Open a couple years ago in a land far, far away... I'm "sharing" a room with my good friend, AZB's "fat Albert". I trundle back to our double room before him @ 1:30 am. It's the battle of the snorers, and it's "1st horse...

To one of the best and most liked posters here, I'd like to wish you a fabulous birthday!!!

BB is riding his 20 speed bike down I95 to spend a day or two with Pink and I in N Carolina in 2 days. Over his shoulder he claims he will adorn a Balabuska or replica. I need a steakhorse. The game is Bogus Ball with Black Balled. Race to 100 points, I get the Black Ball. 10 rolls of quarters...

It was cool. Although at times I wished I had an interpreter, lol. I won't bore ya'll with details :grin:, perhaps if there's inquiries, I'll expand. Pink and I have been blessed to share some time in the last few weeks with Scott Lee and Lee Brett. Their knowledge and passion of and for the...

Hey friends, I'm up to no good and am in a mood in the wake of... RIP Kev and Freddy.... I seek your input. How's this? Zero dollar entry tourney. 5 whole f'g dollars added. No green fees. Race to 3, single elimination. Crockpots of chili and Rolaids (Thanks bflad ;)). Stupidity, sharking...

I keep seeing vague references here where some countries financially assist their players. I'm hoping to learn more of the details & perhaps segway into the impact it has upon pro pool. TY!

"We" talk so much @ the US team possibilities. So what @ team Euro? Who do you think will make it?

After my "Is it Kosher" thread and all the responses (thank you) I feel ok doing it again. Everyone and anyone, please chime in! Once again, I have intentionally waited 2 racks in to start posting. I called 2 promoters to ask their opinions, but got voice mail. So here we go! Efren breaks...
