I think the commentators should have information on every player with basic information like age, place of birth or residence, recent accomplishments, type of cue, favorite game, etc. Danny Diliberto just asked how old James Aranas was, and Mark Wilson did not know. These players are on the...

To all of you ready to jump in SVB's shit...try winning 5 U.S. Open titles and earning six-figure incomes from pro pool every year for the past 10 years before you run your mouth. The man is human. He feels pressure. His right arm gets wobbly just like yours in $20 events! You think those...

It is very special to be able to see these world-class players battle up close. This field is literally star-studded. Sometimes I feel like my head is on a swivel. Everywhere I turn there is a superstar making an incredible shot or a great run-out. For example, last night Alex Pagulayan was...

I recently watched two pros gambling at 10-ball. Their names are not relevant. One of them began complaining because the other was feathering the one ball with his hand after he removed the rack from the table. My question is this: What's the harm? It seems to me that the player is ensuring...

Magic 8 Cue Club (formerly Johnny C's) in Cockeysville, MD is closing its doors. Former owner Trevor Dentz has decided to pursue other business endeavors. Trevor is one of the good guys, sorry to see him go. Rooms are dwindling...where do we go from here?

I was checking the results and saw that Briana Miller won the Women's Division for the 3rd. consecutive year. The men are only allowed to win the amateur open once and they are restricted from future events permanently. This seems unfair. Perhaps someone can explain it to me? There are all...

I will share something I learned about the game of pocket billiards, which most players already know. It is *not* like riding a bicycle. I have never played golf so I have no basis for comparison, but I will say that in order to be successful at this game you have to practice constantly...

Adolini's Family Billiards 236-254 W 9th St, Waynesboro, PA 17268 I attended this place for the first time yesterday and was very impressed. They hosted the PA State Bar Box Championship and got over 100 players! I did not fare well (0-2) but I played well (for me). I just ran into a couple...

He was a very strong player out of the MD/VA area. Back in the 90s and early 2000s he could be found gambling for big $$$, sometimes with Danny Green at various rooms. What happened to him?

For me it was "Dot Pool". We would play 9-ball, and the winner got to use the tip of his cue stick and make a big blue dot on the loser's face. Doesn't sound so bad, but when the room is crowded and you have to stand there while the other person takes their time to slowly make a dot on your...

I found these by accident. Ten questions are posed to various champions and living legends. I found Efren's responses to be very interesting. The questions are: What player do you admire? What is your favorite game? What is your least favorite game? What quality or trait do you like in a...

Last weekend I was practicing next to three kids (early 20s) who were trying to play cutthroat. At one point one of them complained that she did not know how to jump the ball and wished her boyfriend would show her. You guessed it, she broke out the ice cream scoop and tried to lift the cue...

I visited this room recently to say hello to the owner whom I have known for years (Trevor Dentz). He and I used to play at the old Blue Jay Cue Club in Ellicott City, MD back when we were teens. Anyway, he bought this room (Magic 8) a while back and I wanted to share a little information...

Another pool room has fallen due to various factors. I have played there and hosted nine ball tournaments there. The former owners, Steve and Jessica Didier, were two of the nicest owners you could hope to meet. Rather than trying to provide the details, I have posted this message from their...
