    I beat Allen Hopkins this week!

    ...playing poker at the Mirage in Vegas. He was hanging around there for the few days I was there. I thought it was pretty cool to take a few bucks off a champion on the green felt, 'cause I'd never beat him hittin' balls. Does he live out there? Any other pool players bet it up in poker...

    Tulsa, OK...any good poolrooms?

    I've been interviewing with a company in Tulsa. It's all been over the phone, and I have no idea what life is like there. Anyone live there or been through that could help me out? What's the pool scene like? Night life? Is it all old and ugly people or is it pretty cool? Thanks in...

    New Ring Game

    Getting back my game...how long's it take?

    General question...After taking three years off, how long will it take to get my game back to where it was? Started playing again almost three months ago, approximately 15 hours per week. My original guess when I started playing again was that it would take six months to a year. Can anyone...

    Banks

    A little background on me. I've recently relocated from Arizona to Central Illinois. I've been playing pool for about ten or twelve years. I learned to play in the 9-ball / "Color of Money" generation, as I like to call it. I play pretty decent (my best run is four racks of nine ball on a 4...

    Up and down

    Friday, I beat a guy out of $250. Not just any guy, but this guy was THE main stick when I started playing about ten years ago. My game is very similar to his, in style, for obvious reasons. Today (Tuesday), I lost $125 back to the same guy. Now, I'm still $125 ahead. My question is, why...

    I don't hustle, I gamble

    Ok, yesterday was the one year anniversary of me having my thumb surgically repaired. To make a long story short, I was drunk, in a bar, having a good time, and when walking to the restroom, I saw some guys playing on a bar box. I said, "can I get next game?" I had no intention of gambling...

    One line of advice...

    Just to be upfront, I stole this question from another forum. What is the best one liner of advice that really helped your game? I have two favorites: 1) Anyone can feel the cue hitting the cueball, but when you get to the point when you can "feel" the cueball hitting the object ball, you...

    Jump cues

    Hello boys and girls, Reno here. I've lived in Arizona the last 7 years, and I just moved back to central Illinois. The main thing I've noticed of players around here is that they ALL carry, and use, jump cues. Not just once in a while, but EVERY time they're hooked, they run for the jump...
