Thanks for making me laugh Glen. It sucks working Saturday morning in the office when I could be home with the wife or playing pool. You made my day. Have a great weekend! JMP

The Iowa boys played very well. My son was on the team that finished 2nd. Congratulations to all of you and hope to see you next year again. JMP

Johnnyt, I am not sure why youth don't play. One of the reasons I have come up with in my area is that youth are not allowed to play in the bars. They can't practice there, play in smaller tournaments, etc. For me, the closest pool room is 1 hour from my house one way. This does make it...

Both my kids, ages 15 and 11, play in junior leagues and my oldest plays in tournaments with me. I think pool is a great thing for kids. It teaches discipline, patience, and how to handle different situations. I do not allow my kids to gamble though. Pool is a family event for us and I could...

That's perfect schakes. Thanks for the laugh. Rep to you and mully.:thumbup:

I'm 34 and tired. I think I would feel much better if I could spend more time at the table and less at work. 60 hour work weeks suck!:(

Great story. Thanks for pointing it out. :thumbup:

Nice Cue Nice looking cue. Enjoy watching you kid learn to play and most importantly enjoy the time you get together. Rep to you for giving you kid a new cue!:thumbup:

Well, I play two leagues a night and bring both of my kids, 15 year old son and 11 year old daughter to junior league which is 60 miles one way from our house. Both my kids also participate in 5 - 7 junior tournament though out the year. I don't push my kids to play but I do really enjoy...

I like the rule change. Just as chris_williams said, gives a chance to kick or jump at the eight for those of us who hook themselves from time to time. Note => JMP has been known to hook himself a time or two while trying to shoot at the eight.

I don't gamble because I don't have the funds to. Now if I am playing at the bar and a friend wants to play a game for a drink I might do that, but I don't consider it gambling. I have no problem with the people that do gamble. I can see the advantages. I am a firm believer in if you can't...

Nice looking first cue. How do you like the lizard wrap.

I alternate between head ball and 2nd row breaks depending on the table, cleanliness of balls, and my opponent. I have noticed that I can make a ball off the break a larger percent of the time with the second row break if the balls are dirty and/or slow cloth. I don't have the power to crush...
