    8 ball hill-hill: combo leaves a straight-in 1, what now?

    Good points. I feel like leaving them on the same end as the 8-ball in your first and third options leaves a higher probability for them to get safe after kicking at the 8 ball for an easy hit because the balls up table are a combo that I wouldn't want to shoot from the end rail so it would...

    8 ball hill-hill: combo leaves a straight-in 1, what now?

    If I were playing safe I would kick off the right end rail to hit the two on the bottom side, soft and then you have the 2 and 1 to hide behind. You have to hit the 2 on the side closer to the bottom long rail.

    Hohmann Declines Mosconi Cup Spot

    I disagree with his decision to do this, especially for the stated reason that he is not confident in his game right now. But he qualified through his game. He played his way on to the team. He earned it when players who other people might believe are better players, didn't. I think his...

    Variations on "Playing the Ghost"

    I like this modification. When I used to practice using the ghost I needed to work on safety and kicking play so I modified it slightly as well. If you couldn't run out you could play a safety, then I would play as the ghost and try to make a legal hit 3 times. If I could hit the ball then...

    Luck as a skillset.

    I think I know what you are getting at. It's like experience trains you through positive feedback that some shots or ways to play position give you slightly better outcomes over time, when randomness is introduced, so you prioritize those methods and you get a little lucky a little more often...

    Some AI levity...................

    Using the consumer free ones like Gemini or copilot are kind of like being a detective investigating a murder with 22 witnesses who all saw something different and 5 different medical examiners who have slightly differing opinions. You have to do a lot of sifting through bs.

    Yeah. I usually check both regular and incognito. I also have a subscription to a different one that I mostly use professionally.

    Some AI levity...................

    I ran your username through a while back and it was pretty accurate about your forum posting. Said you were an authority on cues, blah blah blah …but I laughed when it said “beware though, if you buy a cue signed by Chopdoc or have Chopdoc sign your cue it will decrease the value of it.” Lol. I...

    WPBA Fine of $2,000

    Normally in business, non-compete agreements are not enforceable without some kind of compensation attached to them. If you are an employee and getting paid a non-compete is valid. If you get let go, normally they will ask you to sign a non-compete in order to get some kind of separation...

    Is Your Cue Right For You? Does Professional Instruction Pay Off? How Would You Know?

    Just chiming in to comment about your son. I knew a young kid like this when I was a serious golfer. He was a baseball player and man he could hit the ball. We had a 424 yard par 4 and he caught a driver from the back tees and ended up over the green and on top of the tee box for the next...

    Won hill-hill off the tit

    I play kicks off the point whenever I need to and I’ve made a few at critical times. I developed an aiming system for them but each one is different so you need to shoot a few to calibrate on a table before you start.

    I know this is old but I'll post pictures if I can find them. Worst case I'll take some when I'm back where the cue is in a couple of weeks.

    Yes, it's true. I do not have a link. The Freezer was talking about it during the SVB v Fedor match.

    Time and effort required to reach Fargo 400, 500, 600

    My opinion is that everybody has a vision of what playing good pool looks like for them. they work their ass off to get there and then stay there the rest of their life. Unless they change their vision of how good they *could* play, nothing will change.

    New Pool Move about our member

    Yeah, I forgot about the PoolSleuth persona. Oh yeah, Koop, Hemicudas, Fred Agnir, Rackemsucker, Timberly, are the ones I saw off the top of my head. Many, many others as well.
