Let’s say that you own one of the more important pool tournaments of the year called the Mosconi Cup. It’s very popular but in recent years you’ve had a problem. That problem is that team USA is routinely beaten like a drum by team Europe. This leads to declining interest as there seems to be...

Break, make a ball and run out. Rinse and repeat. Unwatchable. At least in 10-ball there are more opportunities for a bad roll or spectacular safety play. In pro level 8 ball it's Break, make a ball and run out. And, if you don't make a ball your opponent has a 90% chance of running out.

Earl again, I guess it's really that bad, huh? This had to come from Matchroom as Jeremy Jones can't be that braindead. Doesn't really matter as we're going to get killed with or without Earl but I guess Matchroom had to do something to keep people from tuning out. When you've got no talent you...

I've watched a lot of pool but I don't think I've ever seen more bad luck than what happened to little Ko with all of the scratches in the Semis. He should leave the area immediately and not even put a dollar in a slot machine on the way out the way his luck is running.

I'll admit it. I didn't know either the Polish or the Peruvian player in the finals of the 10-ball. BUT BOY OH BOY COULD THEY PLAY. Reminded me of the scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Could be a new world order to quote Bush 1.

I love Mark and I think CSI does a great job but this two races to four followed by the normally inevitable shoot-out I simply can't hack. A race to four proves nothing and a shoot out proves far less. Race to 8 and that's that. What a complete crock of shit this is. I SIMPLY CANNOT WATCH THIS!!!

Well, as expected in a round robin event the cream has indeed risen to the top in the current Matchroom Pool Tournament. If at the start of the event you would have told me Josh, Albin, SVB, Jason and David would be at the top that wouldn't have surprised me or anybody. However there are some...

OK, maybe purple isn't that good of a color for TV so change the four ball to pink to make it stand out more on TV. I'm OK with that. A black and Yellow Nine Ball doesn't bother me either. Can't deny that it does stand out on the table. HOWEVER, if purple sucked on the four ball why is it...

I'm watching a real the 9-ball tournament presented my Matchroom Pool today on YouTube. You know. a real tournament not the spot shot shootout festival they played over the weekend. I've just discovered that I really like not needing to listen to commentators tell me shit that already know or...

How can a pool tournament make sense when every match turns into a spot shot shootout? I refuse to watch this nonsense. Mark and Ozzie can't be this stupid. This madness has got to end.

6 out of the last 8 matches in Ohio went to a shootout. What a crock. You play 8 games just to see who can make the most spot shots. Why not just run to 8? I can't watch this shit as I feel it will lower my IQ if I do. If Mark or Ozzy came up with this garbage they've got to rethink it. It's...

OK, look at the winner side bracket at the U. S. Open. As the cops say "all the usual suspects." Dennis, Shane, Neils, Max, Jason etc. Why would inferior players, who in their hearts must know that they're no match for any of these guys, pay money and sign up to get embarrassed by these people...

Fast cloth is OK. In fact Simonis 860 is the reason pro pool is played the way pro pool is played which is mostly with follow whereas with the Mali cloth it was mostly with draw. However, this new Predator cloth is crazy fast and when the best players in the world all have trouble adjusting to...

Just looked at the U. S. Open field https://cuescore.com/tournament/bracket/?id=9209905 If Shane is ever going to win #6 this is the year.

What is the purpose of two races to 4 with a bullshit shoot out of spot shots to determine the winner? The only purpose for this that I can think of it to give the dead money a chance to win since if you go to eight the cream will always rise to the top. I watched the Polish guy play Alex and he...

Arguably the best players in the world where are the Taiwan Typhoon boys at the World Championships. How the hell can you award a world championship without the Ko brothers and the rest of the Taiwan contingent? I DON'T GET IT.

Title says it all. They never mention that he is the current U. S. Open 9-ball Champion. Is there bad blood between Griff and Hearn? Seems weird to me that when they are giving his resume that they don't mention this.

In the past Matchroom events have been streamed by ESPN3. I looked and that doesn't seem to be the case this year. Is anybody streaming these matches?

The actual reason for our continuing beat downs is two fold: 1) Pool in Europe is played in clubs. It is considered a sport. These clubs are what we at one time in America, if you're old enough to remember, were called pool halls. These were serious places to play pool and learn the game of...

The title says it all. ALL OF GENIPOOL14'S VIDEOS have been removed by YouTube and his account closed. This is a disaster!!!
