Just got home from watching the finals in the Jointed Cue Open. Trevor Smith won it; he came from the losers' side and had to win both sets - race to 6. He played a young guy, looked Filipino, by the name of Dale (his last name is too tough for me to try to spell from memory. Starts with an...

I watched Raphael on Pro Pool Players .com and was very disappointed. Raphael still has tremendous ability he just doesn't look like he wants to win. He looks like he's bored with pool and is just going through the motions. Most of the time, he's two stroking shots. It's really disheartening...

I couldn't go to the Jointed Cue tournament because my daughter was dancing in a Tahitian Fete competition. You gotta set your priorities right? Anyway, if anyone has info on it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I was playing this guy this morning and he had a shot on the 8 ball (we were playing BCA rules 8 ball) and the cue ball was about 1/16" away from the 8 ball and both balls were in a direct line to the corner pocket. He shot the cue ball with his stick horizontally flat and shot through the cue...

Spent the whole day yesterday at HT and watched some great pool! Some resutls: Orcullo beat Kiamco Orcullo beat Gande (sp) Chohan beat Ames Santos and Eddy were still at it at 11:00 last night and I had to leave. Very close match. Billy Palmer was still in it but was on the loser's side. Ed...

I heard a rumor that Kim Davenport and Tony Chohan might match up at Hardtimes after the Reno Open. Anyone know if there is any merit to this rumor? Sounds like it would be a great match. I'd give the nod to Kim before the eye injury but now I just don't know. Tony is a feirce competitor...

If you are side-betting how much if any should you give to the player if you win money? Would 10% be okay? Again, this is a side-bet not backing someone. My experience has been that side-bettors don't give the players money because the players are either backed by someone or they're playing...

I played a 1h tournament yesterday at Hardtimes in Sacramento. I got to meet and then play Josh Palmer and he put me out of the tournament. Thanks Josh! He plays pretty sporty! I also saw jhedri and of course Tom from Cincy. Had a lot of fun but did I get tired! Some very good 1h players...

Has anyone played someone that can really break well using the kick break? I played a guy yesterday that shot this break shot flawlessly. He would kick the cb into the side rail and hit the pack right around the second ball and the cb would freeze up against the pack. No balls would move...

I was practicing at the local ph and I was watching this guy that plays pretty sporty, a good shortstop. Anyway, this young kid comes in with his girlfriend and another girl and he's banging the balls and he can't play a lick. This player asks him to play even for a few bucks and this player...

Hey Mike, What's the story with the chat line? Is it working and I just can't get on or is it down? If it is down, are you ever going to bring it back? I liked it when it was working but it wasn't on that often. I think if it was on at very set times and was dependable, it would be used a lot.

Okay DM, I know this thread is going to piss you off but wtf, you like being pissed anyway. For those of you that don't know, I got some lessons from Buddy Hall a while back and I've been busting my ass trying to make what he taught me work for me. It hasn't been easy and my game went down for...

As I've stated before, I was very lucky to get 4 hours of instruction from Buddy Hall. Well I gotta tell you, it has been one tough bumpy ride since then, June 6th. My game has gone down and then up a little and then down and well, you get the picture. The thing that has really been...

Mike, I think the chatroom is a great idea but because you never know when it's going to be working or not, I don't think it is being used that much. Every time I enter it, not very often now, there isn't anyone online in there and I can see that others have been there and have entered a "Hi"...

The Chat Room is open.

The chat room is up and running.

The chat room is open.

Well, I just sent in my entry fee and paid for my room from the 5th of June to the 12th. The tournament starts on the 7th but I want to get there a little early to get used to it a little before the tournament starts (I always have a problem getting enough sleep the first night in a strange...

I beat one of the best bar pool players two games last night and it felt so good. I normally play on 4 1/2 X 9 Diamond Pro tables but I play every Tuesday night in a bar league. Our ph is sponsoring us so on those nights that we play away, I have to compete on bar boxes. Well, last night we...

I got to finally play one of our own AZBers the other day. His name is George and he plays a heck of a game of 9b! I think I underestimated him a little and I blinked and he ran about 3 racks on me! Another strike at Gremlin's idiotic comment that all of the players on this board are just...
