What's the name of that book from the 40's/50's that details the pool hustler/bum life from a sociological perspective?

fast improvement indeed! I played him in a D level 9-ball league at Corner Billiards about 3.5 yrs ago. Though I won that league, I'm still a D+ player and Mike is now breaking and running out against Archer in pro tourneys!

Sample clip? John, You should try to post a sample clip of a few minutes on youtube so people can get an idea of the quality before shelling out the $35. I'm sure some of the resident computer nerds on AZB could help you do that. J

Lisciotti Didn't Larry Lisciotti pass away recently?

scorekeepers Jimmy, I looked around for quite a while to find something similar that also looked nice in the room. I ended up buying an antique snooker "marker board" on Ebay. These don't have beads but some have nice sliders. The antique look is cool too. Just an idea, J

Ask Nick Schulman, 21 y.o. from NYC, a open/pro level player who just won $2.1mm in a WPT tournament at Foxwoods. I would guess his pool playing days are over.

Nick Schulman, an open level player who used to hang with all the big boys at Amsterdam, won a World Poker Tour event at Foxwoods, cashin in over $2.1 million! IPT or not, that beats any pool payday. Haven't seen Nick playing Tri-State for a while, is he in college or just laying low?

Staying right in the Westin-Kierland area of Scottsdale with relatives. Any nice pool halls with 9 footers nearby? I know CLicks is in Phoenix but that's 30 mins away. Any help is appreciated. thanks

I bought several sizes since my pool table is a tight fit in the room. They really have the feel/balance of full size cues. I recommend them

Damn!! I stopped watching when Kuo gave up ball in hand at 16-12. The Chinese Espn was driving me crazy (going in and out due to my internet connection)! Alway seems to happen to me, misssing the suspense :)

SJM, It appears from the brackets that Mike is still alive. I played in a D-level 9-Ball league with him at Corner a while back (I ended up winning that league, he wasn't playing well in the heat back then). He has grown in leaps and bounds in maturity and ability since then. His dad's a...

Yeah, my wife would prefer that also but work forced the move. Would rather be in city playing thurs night league at ABC (I actually beat you playing as a D+ a few seasons back; luck of the clueless).

Peter Vitalie 9' Worthy . nice table. Yeah, I know going back to NY makes most sense . Irony is that you wait 10 yrs to finally have the room for a pool table, then you realize there's no one to shoot with.

After 10 yrs in NYC, playing in leagues at Amsterdam Billiards and Corner Billiards, my wife and I moved to Greenwich CT. The pro: I bought a 9 footer for my house; The cons: No one to play with! I was so spoiled in the city to be walking distance from Broadway and Corner Billiards and 10...

Snooker Tour, Once a U.K. TV Favorite, Is in Danger of Demise 2005-05-02 19:15 (New York) By Ryan Mills May 3 (Bloomberg) -- Professional snooker, the billiards- like game that was created by bored British soldiers and once drew record U.K. television audiences, is heading for a financial...

There's nothing that scares me more than if a future child of mine caught the pool bug early and ended up a A-level to Pro player. That would signify that they wasted most of their life in a pool hall. I personally caught the bug after grad school and because of job and family commitments...

Walked through Grand Central this a.m. on way to work; They're setting up the tables right now; Looks like it will be a very cool/unique venue for the tourney; Bought tix for Friday night, can't wait...

I've been granted permission to put a new 9-footer in the living room of our house (room is 14x19, sweet). Although I would rather get a player's table (GCIV, Diamond Pro), the concession was that I would buy a nice "furniture" looking table. What would AZB'ers out there recommend for a...

I recently won a Schon cue (STL-1) in my league tourney. It's 18 oz. and I want to an ounce of weight to it. Do you recommend sending it back to Schon itself or can a local cue repairman fix it? What is the going rate for something like that? I'm in NYC. Thanks, JD
