If that Canadian link keeps working once the match starts, that'd been both great and funny.

DAZN is such a P.O.S. I now see a screen with World Pool Masters Day One LIVE and a "Subscribe Now", but when I click on that, all that shows up is this: No matter how many times I click on the World Pool Masters link, it keeps coming back to this "Fight Season" option, with no alternative...

This is all I get when I try to access DAZN/pool. At first I see a dropdown for "Sports", but then it evaporates and this shows up, only without the "POOL" part of the screen:

My favorite drill is placing the 9 ball just off the top rail in the center of the table, then placing the other odd numbered balls at the same end of the table, and the even numbered balls on the other end, but otherwise all randomly distributed. This helps you to learn how to navigate the cue...

I completely agree with your point about the luck factor in straight pool runs, but to put Tony Gwynn above Joe Dimaggio as a hitter is a joke, unless you're simply referring to batting average and nothing else. The generally agreed upon overall gauge for batters is the OPS+ metric, which adds...

I've never minded losing a game on a lucky shot, but since lucky safes make up 90% of the luck in 9 ball once you get below the pro level, I'm all for giving the incoming player a "shoot again" option in the case of an accidental snooker. Maybe allow one two way option per rack if the player...

Tennis and pool have different skill sets, and in tennis the luck factor is almost non-existent. Not so in pool, and when you add the variance in pocket size, humidity, and the way the balls are breaking on any given day, it's harder for even a Filler to dominate on the level of those tennis...

To have maximum effect it needed to be shouted by Toshiro Mifune.

Did SVB win that hill-hill with Big Ko?

Is there a link to that page?

Anyone know who won the Filler - Big Ko hill-hill? The Live Score page removed it within seconds after it must have finished.

And FSR returns the favor by jarring an easy 7 ball. SVB escapes by 5 to 3.

SVB had FSR 4 to 0, dogged the 6, dogged it the next game, and now it's 4-3 with FSR about to break.

Beenie's (Jack & Jill) was in Shirlington, VA. Guys and Dolls was in Silver Hill, MD. Guys and Dolls was the best action room in the DC area until Beenie's opened in early 1968. Both of them were open 24/7. Personally I liked Guys and Dolls better, because those Gandy tables at Jack & Jill...

Is there a schedule posted for today's matches?

I'd put the over/under at 12.

Now that you mention it, I do remember the absolute silence. Unlike most every other pool room I've played at before or since, there wasn't any woofing or sharking. All it needed was a house man to tell first time visitors, "This is 211, mister". I loved that place, and the last year I was in...

The Philippines picked up on pool shortly after WW2, but other than that, were there any other countries where pool was even played by more than a handful of people outside of American Army bases? I remember visiting England in 1981, and in an entire month over there all I ever saw were snooker...

Maybe most of those rules were common sense, but before the coming of the pool glove, every pool room I can think of had at least a few players who powdered their hands repeatedly and left the residues all over the table, creating an unsightly mess. AFAIC rack templates and pool gloves are the...

Are you referring to the 211 Club in Seattle? I used to visit Seattle once a year, and played there at every opportunity. Loved the pristine 5' x 10' table, and the way they cleaned the cloth every time a table went off the clock. It may have been the best maintained pool room in the country...
