    Fraud beware

    Get their phone number. Call them. If they are genuine they won't mind. If they've claimed to be from xxx town. Look that town up. Tell them you've been there. Make something up like 'it was great that it was only a 2 hour drive from Chicago'. If they are 20 hours from Chicago then they'll...

    Ronnie doing Ronnie Things - Highest Break Ever

    As amazing as a 153 is - then guaranteed he's a bit gutted that it wasn't a 155. It was on. Surely he'll be playing in the World Championship year. Looking for the 8th.

    Why do some Chinese players shoot insanely fast?

    Agreed. They aren't playing crazily fast. It's just that some players take way longer than actually needed. Was great that Zhao Xintong won the world snooker championship playing a very fluent, no mucking about game. If he'd have been a grinder you'd now have x million Chinese players trying to...

    Seyberts exorbitant shipping charges?

    Yep - you get to about $70 worth of stuff so that 'laser aiming device - shoot like a pro - guaranteed or your money back' thing at $32 suddenly becomes very tempting...

    Jim Rempe's brainwash position/pattern drill

    Just tried this one with 3 balls (got it 2nd attempt - quickly learned that angles are BAD for this one) then 4 balls (got it 1st time). Now onto 5 balls... will try to get to 15. I like it because it's simple to set up - always slightly different - and quite challenging. You definitely have to...

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    The ref called it a foul - like Ronnie knew she would. Frame was long since won. He just did it for the fun of it. Great stuff.

    So many tips to choose from.

    For me it's the best $20 pool expense going. I've done them myself manually - but it just ain't the same as having a pro do it with a lathe/tools/glue that he's been using for years. It only takes him a couple of minutes because he knows exactly what he is doing. Just like you can change the...

    SJM at the 2026 Derby City Classic

    I watched that as well. First time I'd seen that game. Ball-in-hand if you miss a ball makes it a very aggressive game. Great to SVB close-up in a room that wasn't that packed. Plenty of empty seats. Since getting back home I've been trying to imitate the way they were both breaking. They...

    Drill System

    Yep - def sounds like FARGO game (nothing to do with the rating system). Rules link: https://drdavepoolinfo.com/resource_files/fargo_sheet.pdf

    All 8 first round matches at the Snooker Masters...

    Judd was a strong fav to win the game. 5/1 for Judd to win 6-2 was THE best odds you could get. Many other bookies were lower than 5/1. Even with a very high percentage book then no way was 8/1 the true odds for him to win 6-2. Let's just split it and say that 13/2 was the true odds...

    All 8 first round matches at the Snooker Masters...

    As I said - I checked the odds before the game. The best you could get (via oddschecker.com) was 5/1 for Judd to win 6-2. Will bet you <name your price> on that!

    All 8 first round matches at the Snooker Masters...

    Final score of the last game. Judd Trump 6 Mark Allen 2. I checked the odds pre-game and yep.... Judd was 5/1 to win 6-2! We should have all backed it, yeah? I didn't. Grrrrhhhh. (Allen was 18/1 to win 6-2).

    All 8 first round matches at the Snooker Masters...

    The odds of a correct score (i.e. 6-2) will vary - depending on the odds of the players in the game. It definitely won't be the same price every time for every player. Just like 6-0 or 6-5 won't be 5/1 every time. The commentators probably checked with the bookies what odds 6-2 was at the...

    Derby City Newbie (be gentle)

    General admission works fine. Go to the registration desk (you can't fail to find this - it's by the entrance to the main hall). Pay $15 and you get a wristband. You can then go and watch any games you want all day long - including the tables and money room upstairs. The main TV table (where...

    World Darts Championship.....................

    Players aren't allowed to drink (or smoke) on stage nowadays. Not like back in the day - that was when darts really was a sport! This past PDC world championship was live on Peacock in the USA (and as mentioned in the original post - some games were shown delayed on NBC). Still way more...

    SVB vs Josh Filler announced for Feb 6th at NYC's Amsterdam Billiards

    Yes they normally both do well in 1P and Banks. Often winning them. It puts them right up in my estimation. They are far from just brilliant 9/10 ball one-trick ponies. Often beating people who pretty much only play 1P - plus on a table in a room full of other tables in front of a handful of...
