For Canadian pool players it’s E IOU AY.

I was going to post something similar. The losers in a tournament are more important to the success of the tournament than the winner. Because the more losers the more money. But there is only one winner. And there will always be exactly one.

I was at a tournament one time and a friend of mine bought a big name player in the Calcutta. The player did not buy half himself. So he offered it to me. I bought in. In the money round our player dogged his ass off to the guy he rode with. It could not have been more obvious. I looked...

Me too. But we were in the same region mostly.

In the old days the added money was to get players there because they would drink alcohol and buy food. Players don’t do that as much. I’ve seen tournaments where the house adds a bunch of money and the top 4 players or so drink water or coffee the whole tournament and then go across the street...

Jesse. He came back and started playing again and then was murdered on the sidewalk shortly after that. When I met him he was older (70s or 80) and just full of joy at playing pool.

Need me to send you some homeopathic remedies and essential oils? Never mind. If I send it USPS you’ll be dead long before they get there.

I’ve certainly seen a lot of examples that back up your claim. I quit for 10 years and when I came back with about 3 hours of knocking the rust out I still beat the same players I used to beat and lost to the same players I used to lose to. Except one. Who was a banger when I quit and is now...

The golf influencers do that kind of stuff all the time. It’s pretty entertaining.

I discovered her a few years ago and it was a breath of fresh air. I love watching her play.

Last I heard he was in Las Vegas and still being staked. He would be in his late 60s now I think.

Yep. That’s him. Lol. 25-27 practice strokes every time. He usually washed out of those kind of tournaments then his backer would put him in action. He was playing a guy in Texas one time and just using a ton of English. The guy he was playing was very patronizing to him. Kept saying...

Truth. If a good player offers you a spot that you can't lose. Odds are you can't win. I have posted this before but back in the late 80s or early 90s the BCA league 8-ball championship was in Denver. Melvin Sharpe was holding court. Betting all comers for $20/game. The game was 9-ball...

Fat Randy is a name I haven't heard in a while. I remember a set in Denver with Danny Medina playing someone. I can't remember who right now. But Fat Randy was sitting on a stool in the corner right next to the table and right behind Danny. Danny was shooting a difficult case 9-ball and the...

I say “no way stumbler! No way tempter!” Unless it’s a decent scotch, bourbon or Irish whiskey. In that case I say “”thank you very much much!”

My first instinct would be to say that if you struggle on straight in shots then maybe it isn't the aiming that is the problem. HOWEVER I use a CTE-esque way to aim shots that are straight and slightly off of straight and it works far better for me than just aiming center ball to center ball...

All of the wonderful AZB peeps I’ve purchased cues from packaged them in such a way as to be virtually indestructible.

All governments want to destroy their own citizens' way of life. It's what they do. I really don't think they can help themselves. Any time anyone discovers a new niche or industry where they can make money the government can't wait to swoop in and tax it and regulate it to death until...

That was one of the funniest things ever! Btw - I’m sure it was autocorrect but it was *Justin Collett. Just to make sure the record is correct. Big Nasty was the member who was Justin’s business partner and was pretty tight with Shane.
