    Whatever happened to that Kristi Carter chick??

    I recall awhile back, her suddenly appearing here at this message board & chewing someone out (Jack Madden....or some guy who made cues).....then disappearing. I've never seen her post here since. The last I saw her, she was busy being one of Allison's groupies. I know this for a fact 'cause...

    I just watched "The Hustler"....

    for the 3rd time (I've watched it a couple of other times over the past few years). Great great movie......great acting......great story. I appreciate this film better with each viewing. The Color of Money is a decent movie also, but nothing like the original. "Vince" vs "Fast Eddie". No...

    I went 0-4 again in league last Wednesday...I guess we all have "off" nights?

    I went 0-4 again in league last Wednesday...I guess we all have "off" nights? I couldn't string together making more than 2 balls in a row. I'd make 1 decent shot, than miss on the next, sometimes terribly. I can think of alot of excuses: didn't practice much the previous week because of the...

    Billiard Sanctuary/Timothy White DVD's

    Does anyone have an opinion of these DVD's? A teammate of mine from pool league lent them to me....I think there's about 9 DVD's. I watched the first one today....touched on the basics....but Timothy White's teaching method seemed pretty clear.....he seems to be a pretty good player as well...

    How many hours/week do you practice?

    I've asked this question here awhile back, but wanted to ask it again to refresh my memory & compare to other players. I'm in a BCA league, was ranked #3 earlier this season, but have slipped down to #34.:( My record is padded against easier teams, but find I am doing poorly against the...

    Lord help me, I struggle at position play....

    Actually I'm not that bad......but I am screwing myself in pool league, because of poor position play. (I tend to focus on shotmaking). But I'm realizing that the biggest weakness in my game is position play, & will not be a top player unless I get it under control. I watched a Robert Byrne...

    I had my heart ripped out in league last night...

    nah, it actually wasn't that bad. I went 0-4 against the #1 team....all of these guys were in there late 40's-50's, have been playing for years & years. The rest of my team struggled mightily as well. I actually shot relaxed & focused....was making good shots, but killed myself with poor...

    Turning over a new leaf w/my attitude in pool league...

    I decided I need to turn over a new leaf in pool league, starting this Wednesday: I'm going to focus on being more relaxed, not so serious, & enjoy being around friends. I am doing pretty good this year....but have had a few rough weeks recently (slipped from #3 to #15 in player rankings) I...

    "Pool vacation" in Colorado....

    Can someone turn me on to some hot spots in Colorado (Denver area) to shoot pool at? I'm on vacation from Christmas - New Years, & am thinking about hitting the road, shooting lots of pool & having some fun. I live in boring old Montana (miles from nowhere)...so Denver area is the logical...

    The pool scene after "Color of Money" came out...

    I've always heard about how the pool scene boomed after "The Hustler" & "Color of Money" came out. Anyone here remember those times, or were part of the scene?? (I was in high school when COM came out, didn't play pool back then). Must of been the good ol' days, wish I could have experienced...

    So I'm taking a "break" from pool...

    this week was our bye week in our BCA pool league. I decided to take 1 1/2 weeks off.....no practicing, playing, or thinking about pool (impossible, thats why I'm here now). After months of serious practicing & competition in league/tournaments, I thought it'd be good to refresh myself by...

    I have trouble wearing contacts.....

    I should be wearing contacts, but I have a hell-of-a-time getting used to them.....most of the time I don't bother, although they would help my pool game. (I think wearing them in smoky bars doesn't help either). The edges of them irritate my eyes, and sometimes my vision blurs....then I have...

    So our team got smoked in the city pool tourney...

    4 of us from our bca league team decided to play in a players open 8-ball tourney this weekend. 3 and out....we were sent home packing by Sat. afternoon. We were way out of our league though....most teams were stacked with "A" & "B" players (I guess I would classify us as "C" players at best?)...

    KT, Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous...

    The most sickening thing about this whole IPT mess is that regardless of what happens, KT will continue to live the lavish life of a billionaire while the rest of America will live paycheck-to-paycheck. Maybe he & that other con-artist, Don King, should get together. :eek:

    "Pool" vacation...

    I took the last week off from pool (after a bad night in league)....feeling refreshed & ready to play again, with a new attitude. But this isn't the type of pool vacation I'm talking about. I've thought about taking a pool-playing vacation, where I travel down to the Denver area & do nothing...

    I'm turning over a new leaf w/my pool playing...

    After going 1-3 this week in BCA league, I've decided to turn over a new leaf and play "loose & just let go". In other words, I'm going to try to just relax & not try so dang hard to strategize, play perfect position, overthink, etc..... The reason I'm going to do this is that I (briefly) had...

    I'm sick of practicing at the bars

    I've hit a point recently where I've gotten sick of the people in some of the bars/pool halls (I don't have a pool table at home). There is one pool hall here in particular (Bullwackers) where I won't even go....a person gets dirty looks & bad vibes from some of the regulars there (I know...

    This Message Board is pretty cool.....

    The recent ruckus that has broke out here lately is......pretty normal for a message board. I occasionally post at other mb's; in comparison, this one is pretty cool. I can post a question or thought, & always get 10-20 mature responses. (You ought to see what goes on at some of the music...

    Why is Allison Fisher a cut above the rest??

    What has she done, in her career, practice, whatever, to put herself a class above everyone else? I love watching her play (since ESPN mostly airs WPBA matches).....always amazed at how great she is. Is it natural talent? Starting at an early age? Coaching? Or having a background in billiards?

    Fisher vs Ga Young Kim match on ESPN

    Did anyone watch the recent airing of the match between Allison Fisher & Ga Young Kim (Cuetech Cues National 9-ball Final?) Great match. It was interesting seeing both miss easy shots....definitely due to pressure. I think Ga Young almost broke out crying a couple of times. Not that I'm...
