It usually takes me 3 games before I work out my sea legs and get comfortable with my stroke and pocketing ability. I don't play everyday and don't play sessions that go over 4 hours. I have a family. So usually Im behind before I start playing up to my level. When Im playing those that are on a...

3 years ago the Dept of Justice confiscated all the monies at the Full Tilt Poker site. Recently they returned the money to the players. 27,000 of us. I got my bankroll back last week. I noticed several pool players ventured into online poker. I used to rail some of you and particularly the...

Hi Jason Ive seen a lot of content from you lately. Is it possible you can release the 2012 US Open One Pocket stuff. There was some great material there and I believe it is probably the last major tournament where Danny D makes an appearance as a contestant Please make it available. Would be...

I got into a discussion with my poker guys about tipping the dealer. These were all high stakes players and I was surprised that a couple of them were real nits. But in general most were generous. I tip no matter what. This comes from working in a lot of joints when I went to school and the...

10 years ago I took a cheap flight to New York to attend the 17th BCA 14.1 US open. I had nostalgia for a time in the 60s when I took a bus to LA to watch Irving Crane, Luther Lassiter, Danny Diliberto, Jimmy Moore, Joe Balsis, a young Steve Mizerak, etc. play for the US crown. What stunned me...

Can it just be plain BAD management. The pool hall I frequent has hired a terrible houseman. The owner loves him for some reason as he talks a good game. But he is obnoxious and all the regulars are disgusted with him. In his attempt to attract a younger nite crowd turns up the music full...

TAR announced the rematch in MAY. THis is happening in Danny's home room. I feel that is an advantage to Danny. However I think John is going to try and get his revenge. So I like John as well. Last time it was real close. Will it be a blow out this time. I dont know what to think. I...

Today was a long detailed article about the Canadian tournament in Kelowna. Yet there was almost no write ups about the wonderful BCA tourney up in Reno recently. Whats going on? THis tourney had 3 events with some of the top young players in the country. After TAR situated themselves up...

As of today before the finals TAR has only 33 buyers. Where are all you guys who say TAR is great!!!!??? If we dont support them they might disappear. There was some great matches today. Shane vs Montel, Luat vs Gabe, and now Luat vs Montel. Take your $15 and give them your money. Is it...

First matches today. Im sitting here watching Shane VB playing banks. Next to him is Archer. On the other side is Ronnie Wiseman playing local boy Anthony Hackett out of Scotsberg Indiana. This is banking country. Just saw Mark Jarvis bank out 3 games in less than 20 minutes. He is liable...

Thinking about the 2008 14.1, The Derby 14.1 Challenge, and just getting the Schmidt/Harriman challenge match DVD which I just got from Action Report on their 14.1 match to 400. I started thinking about the MIZ and how he would have flourished in these events. Man he would be knocking all...

THe other night on Poker After Dark a guy named "Boston" told a story of Billy getting together with Stu Ungar the great card player. He was talking about the time they were hustling this wealthy guy at Gin. Which Stuey was a phenom. Can any one enlighten me on Billy's experience with Phil...

I just got the one pocket set from the last DCC from AccuStats. I have every year. I sure am disappointed. With all the great players and matches they have only four items. Cliff Joyner playing Kim Bennet (?) and Mike Surber (?). A quick match less than 20 minutes a piece with Efren against...

My eye doctor just told me I have the beginnings of cataracts. Has anyone had experience with the operation? After the operation I hear you get 20/20. Does it make it easier to play middle and close range.

Does anyone have results for the qualifyers for the upcoming 14.1 tournament in New Jersey?

Does anyone have the details of the Rum Runner tournament in Las Vegas. Is it bar table? When is it?

Can someone do something about the restaurant at the Executive West. The food they serve there is absolutely the worst. Not fit for a pig. Thank god the Corner Pocket provided some worthy snacks. For anyone going next year bring some packaged snacks.

I think it is now time to thank Bob Jewett and the hours and finances it took to get the 14.1 event off the ground. Bob was in there every hour the event took place. A room without windows and happily counting and racking balls. As well as taking the time to talk and explain to anyone who...

Can anyone tell me whats going on with the 1 pkt web site? Hemi, Lewdo,Wayne,John Henderson, anybody???????? I cant get it anymore.

Just returned from Vegas after attending the first half of the US Open tourney that Mark Griffin is running. It is a great event which is free to the fans. Scott Frost, Shannon the Cannon, and Cliff Joyner are playing the best one hole on this planet in one room side by side. No wonder people...
