Scotch doubles gambling match being streamed live from Griff's in Las Vegas. Eklent Kaci and Alexander Kazakis vs Carlo Biado and Edgie Geronimo. Race to 19, playing for "close to 20k" per whoever is posting under Biado's account that it is being streamed on. I assume the 20k is in the...

For those that have some interest in early pool and billiards history, the site linked below has an online digitized copy of the 1893 "The New York Clipper Annual" which contains information on dozens and dozens of pool and billiard challenge matches, gambling matches, and tournaments along with...

One of the things that I see a lot of disagreement on in the pool world, even among extremely strong and knowledgeable players, is whether tighter or looser pockets favor the stronger or weaker player, and under what circumstances they feel it favors each if they feel it varies. For some people...

I just stumbled across Jennifer Barretta's pool blog and she is one incredible writer in my opinion. Along with holding your interest and painting great pictures with words and the superb writing style she also provokes thought and there are some great insights and lessons to be had as well. I...
