    My LASIK adventure.

    I had my eyes done 5 years ago now and it was the best money I have ever spent. 4 guys on my team all had it done in the same month as me along with my wife. I also know of about 8 others that had done that love it also. I paid $500 an eye and my vision was 20/800 and was 20/17 after the...

    John Kucharo

    He was in Madison back in March for the BCW finals. I played him on a bar box and he didn't play well that day, he had been drinking quite a bit. Actually he shorted me, too. Still owes me $30 and I had to eat all the table time. He gave me the breaks for $25/game.

    Girl player in US who speaks Chinese?

    Colin, My reply e-mail was returned for some reason. Maria has not decided on any qualifiers yet. She is going to be working with Jerry Brieseth a little when she gets back. She has not been playing much so needs to get her game back up to where she is happy with it. We will know more when...

    Girl player in US who speaks Chinese?

    Colin, My fiance is from Singapore and speaks Chinese, Indonesian, and English very well. She also played in the Cue Tech Nationals last year after winning the College Nationals. She has met a number of players that all enjoyed having her there and think she has a ton of talent. We live in...

    Katrina affecting gas prices...

    I agree this sucks, but we did it to ourselves. With everyone needing a Hummer or Escalade that gets 12 mpg and there is only one person in the car. What else did we expect we use more oil than the other top ten oil using countries COMBINED. My boat has a V8 and uses a ton of gas but it's...

    Vegas, baby...

    You will love The Big Shot, it was a blast. The roller coaster was pretty dumb though. I recommend you go bungee jumping by Circus Circus. That is a much better rush, especially when you ask them to dip you into the pool at the bottom.

    My #1 Problem - Open To Suggestions

    Play faster. Many players get in the habit of shooting too slow and thinking themselves out of the shots. When most people are in dead punch they don't need to think, they just play. Most people have seen almost every table layout and deep down know what to do. Its a double edged sword...

    Did this guy ruin pool?

    I personally think that it has more to do with a lot of the players on the tour. They have dug themselves a hole that will be hard to overcome. I don't know all of them personally, but there are a great deal that have done some pretty bad things to make corporate sponsorship a very difficult...

    Jump Cues make the shot.

    I have to disagree with the original post that Jump Cues make the shot. Yes a jump cue does make a 2 foot jump shot much easier than a full cue, but to be able to jump with accuracy is completely different. I can get over a full ball with OB and CB a little over a chalks width apart with my...

    wanted- pool history lesson

    More Fun Facts Here are some more fun facts that Jerry Brieseth had told me a while back when he used to own Cue-Nique Billiards. The first plastic was acutally invented for billiards. I believe his name was John Wesley Hyatt. They offered $10,000 to someone who could invent a better...

    How hard do you break?

    Size has very little to do with a good break as I found out this week. Angel Paglia, of the WPBA, was in town and I had a chance to play her for a couple days. She has harder and more controlled break than most of the men I have seen. She is about 5'4" and about 110 lbs. I never asked her if...

    Big Ten Schools' Pool Championship

    Raemondo, I am out of school now but a kid that comes to Cue Nique plays at UW-Whitewater and they have a billiard club there. UW-Madison doesn't have too many good players if any. Last year when my fiance won college nationals she was the best player at the school, for the most one of the...

    Big Ten Schools' Pool Championship

    I always thought that would be a great idea to do intra-state between the state schools. I know of some players at DIII schools in WI that would be interested, but as far as UW-Madison the players are pretty weak. Talk to Barry Hart at Viking (608-271-5155) he might be interested in some...

    How Would You Spend Your Money

    It is a toss up between a Scmelke, Cue-Tech, or that Budweiser cue I saw. LOL

    other hobbies?

    Pool, sport boats, sport bikes, poker, volley ball tournaments, beer tents, bungee jumping, and planning to try skydiving this summer. However most everything has taken a back seat as I am trying to open my own room.
