The only line I've heard more than "I paid my way through college hustling pool" is "I used to play minor league baseball". And then they can't even name the team they played on.

"Would you care for a beer before we start?"

To me that was the highlight shot of the match. What a combination of power stroke and the ability to foresee the long path the cue ball had to travel. Thanks for pulling it up, because now I know exactly where to find it.

In the old Brass Rail in Durham, NC, there was a local sweater named Wayne Dixon who used to ask every road player if he wanted to gamble. When the road player said, "Maybe. What's the bet, and for how much?" Wayne would reply "I'll bet you a hundred dollars that my d**k is littler than...

Truth is stranger than fiction. I've beaten two Mosconi Cup players several times each. Just don't ask me how many times I've lost to them. I'm also undefeated against Leonardo Andam. Beat that stiff 5-3 in the first round of a local weekly tournament that he dropped in on, and then quit...

Bottom line was that Kaci got penalized because the ref was deaf. And the rule is stupid to begin with. Not one person in a million who saw what Kaci did would've thought that was anything BUT a push. There are legit rules and nit rules, and the one that cost Kaci is definitely in the latter...

It sure did, and it's nitty rule. Give the ref a hearing aid.

FSR won, but if Casper hadn't dogged that last 9 ball and had been breaking at 9-10, FSR would've been thinking about his terrible position play from the 6 to the 7 when he was on the hill. It looked like he couldn't make up his mind whether to pound the cue ball cross table to get on the left...

Before Styer shanked that 8 ball in the critical game 11, when he looked like he was about to take a 7-4 lead, I was wondering why he was using draw English on what looked like a pretty steep angle. If he'd just slow rolled the 8 it looked like he would've been perfect on the 9. Too bad he...

It was about 10 seconds after I turned it on. Since then it's been nothing but this:

For about 10 seconds, it was.

And now tables 2 and 3 are actually live and working. But table 1 is just a rerun of Chua and Al-Balkhi.

Now table 2 is working, but not tables 1 and 3. This feels like a 3 card monte game.

Gorst became a permanent U.S. resident in 2023, so he can apply for citizenship in 2028.

And yet there are many cases like this.

He was, but Buddy still could give him the 7 and come away with the $$$$.

Love that 1984 group picture, but where was Earl? Did Cesar Morales scare him away? :p

There's not much I can add to what's been said above. JL Chang was always one of my favorite players, with his methodical style and forever stoic demeanor. I'll never forget the time when he watched Shaw put a 5-pack on him to get to hill-hill in the hot seat match of 2016 U. S. Open, and then...

Interesting you mention the time of day factor. In one of the first pool rooms in Washington I ever went to on a regular basis, the midday crowd was made up largely of salesmen from the nearby Pontiac dealership, along with former neighborhood residents who'd since moved out to the suburbs...
