I was saddened today to find out a dear friend and pool lover passed away on July 2nd. I've known Tom for nearly 30 yrs and he was always a lot of fun to be around. He loved to joke around and play pranks and when he was on his pool game was pretty darn strong. In the last few years his health...

I'm happy to announce that the Chicago Billiard Cafe is going to start having thursday night 9ball tournaments once again. They used to have some great tourneys in the past with tons of competition and I'm hoping we can get a nice turnout to get this going again. The first tournament will be...

I want a recount! Are we satisfied that Brumbach won the bank pool, Schmidt won the one pocket, and Shane won the 9ball? I have yet to see the results posted or who played who anywhere. For a person who wasn't fortunate enough to attend the Derby I would like to see the charts, brackets, etc. I...

Heard he plays a mean game and no one knows his real identity. Does this man have a given name? Inquiring minds want to know.

I saw this movie last night online and was very disappointed. Has anyone else seen it? What did you think? The female lead as a poolplayer was not at all believable they never showed her stroke a ball in but I could have lived with that but the story was weak. If anyone wants to critic the movie...

I was reading the info about the one pocket tourney at the DCC and it said it was a race to 3 single elimination one buy back. It also said there would be a lag for determining who would break first. Is anyone who wins the lag going to hand the first break over to their opponent? If someone...

Does anyone know where I can purchase some replacement rubber bumper inserts for my Southwest cue. Thanks in advance Philw

I was thinking about potential matchups for Joe that would make it competitive and the name that came to mind was Fatboy. He is someone who has some degree of celebrity at least here at AZB and I know he participated in a ring game at the Derby Classic so I'm wondering is this a good matchup...

While Mike Sigel was commenting on the Boyes-Robles IPT match he said that the Baltimore Bullet movie was based on him. I've seen the movie but I never knew it was Mike they were portraying. Is this true? Has anyone heard this before? Philw

If Mike wins I think there will be a lot of conspiracy theories. Some might claim John threw a shot or didn't bear down. Right now Mike is ahead 79-73 and I have to say Mike seems to be running balls a lot better meaning getting into less trouble than John. What is your take on this match? Philw

Saw an exhibition of Dr Cue at onthebreak.com I didn't know it was Tom Rossman who I had seen numerous times on ESPN trick shot competitions. I was really impressed by his great personality and comedic timing he really was entertaining. I think he's rather boring on ESPN and my suggestion to...

Has anybody heard from Don lately? How is he doing? A friend gave me this homework assignment. He wanted me to find out how Don is and where he's been lately. I couldn't think of a better place to get quick info than AZ Billiards. Don , a very solid player by anybody's standards played around...

What a year for Shane I have to agree with Jay that player of the year can only go to Shane. Shane has shown his prowess in 9 ball and 10 ball but I really want to see him play one pocket. If Shane doesn't play one pocket I think someone should give him a crashcourse in the game. With his skills...

Jeff Kaletta has passed away. I just received an email and was shocked to hear it. Jeff played pool in Chicago mostly at the Chicago Billiard Cafe and Chris's. I must have played thousands of games of 9ball with him throughout the eighties and nineties. He fought some adversity having lost a leg...

I was browsing at Barnes & Noble yesterday when a book in the bargain book section jumped out at me. Jersey Red was on the cover and the book was called Hustler Days by R.A. Dyer. It mainly covers Jersey Red, Minnesota Fats and Luther Lassiter but there are others covered also. It was indeed a...

Can you recognize when someone is deliberately sharking you and how do you deal with it? What are some ways you have been sharked? Philw
