    Since you persist on calling me "Poolkiller"...

    Wrecking your threads? This site is a community. You may start threads and make posts but as far as asking people not to hurt your feelings by ignoring your input and pointing out the mistakes in your posts, get off it. I've thought about ignoring you but the shear ignorance of your posts is...

    What forum users am I supposed to know about?

    ... Or maybe not. You are getting this flack because you insist on coming to this forum, mostly populated by serious players, and spout on about the type of play we all want to see go away... Sloppy banging. Look at your sig line. That is what gets you lumped with PK and others like him. I'm...

    Interesting pool story....

    And would you believe it, tiger gets the waitress. And then mentions how good she likes the back nine.

    Does Las Vegas ever "make a book" on a pool tournament?

    Incorrect. The state of Iowa has a law that the casino can pay back no less than a dime on the dollar for non-exotic wagers.... Win, Place and Show. Every once in a great while you will see a strong horse fit into a weak race in preparation for a larger race. I'm not talking about being a big...

    How prevalent are bar boxes outside the US?

    I played on a valley 7' in the Bahamas in an open bar just off the ocean. It was a "touch" damp from the humidity.

    What is the most powerful shot?

    Look at the combined amount of years those of us have as members of this forum. Maybe we should be wise enough to not waste our time. And I do mean wasting. He obviously has no intentions of taking any of this to heart. It's too bad, there is a lot of good info here. And good people who truly...

    What is the most powerful shot?

    Push&pool, I had hope for you but I'm slowly learning it was wasted... From now on I will be referring to you as Gomer Pyle. I'm sorry you don't realize this is a finesse game and not about power. I feel like a lot of knowledgeable players have given you good advice that you just don't want to...

    Valley Table H*ll

    If I had to bet I'd say your position play beat you. Going from a 9 foot or even 8 foot to a BB is not as easy as it sounds. There are pros who don't handle it well. Playing two rail shape to get a foot closer to an object ball is foolish and can get a player into trouble. That said, you got...

    A pool-related business idea

    To the OP, we see you trying. I can tell you obviously like the game. But for you it is just a game. You are excited about it, you like making balls. We all know the feeling. The reason you get the icy reaction from so many of the members of this forum is because instead of liking the game...

    need advice on Joss on ebay

    I understand asking for advice but why alert the largest concentration of pool players online to an online sale. Last move I would make if I was trying to get a deal.

    8 Ball Rack Analysis

    Please be honest about this. Are you in anyway serious? " shoot strong as I could at 4 to direct 3 in the direction of 1." Why do you constantly strive to mock a game that is so important to do many of us. If you want to mock pool players go to a bowling forum. I'm so tired of reading the...

    Table size math... Just for fun

    A while ago there was a thread that talked about the importance of shot making vs. position play. I started to think a lot about the differences between the two. I came to the conclusion that making an argument either way isn't possible unless the size of table and the game played is factored...

    Instead of having a league every week, why not just have a tournament?

    I'll bite... With all due respect, the majority of the players who are new to the game and spending money to support the pool industry are league players. Not tourney players, not gamblers but just plain old league players. League players buy cues, use them for a year and leave them in closet...

    Tired of the cry babies

    With all due respect, the comparison of helmet to helmet hits and making a ball on the break is a bit of a reach at best. Now if the pool room owner or TD wanted to regulate break speeds because too often the cue ball was flying off the table and giving head injuries to unsuspecting railbirds I...

    Pool needs more of this. Thank you for taking the time share. And congrats to both of you.

    Tired of the cry babies

    I think we can all agree that tight races are exciting. However, we need to remember not all fans want to only see back and forth matches. There is a segment of pool spectators who want to see big packs laid down. Just think about all of the streamed TAR matches with money flying around on...

    Tired of the cry babies

    This is correct. Thanks for all the replies from those who disagree and those who agree, discussion is what is important. And to be honest, I think there are a lot of people who would like to see nine ball played how it was meant to be played, pre Texas Express rules. It was changed for TV...
