When I typed Fischer pool tables into google, one of the links was for more images of Fischer tables and it seemed to me there were several that resembled yours but since they probably don't make that model it is hard to tell. Looking at those side pockets still gives me the shivers.

I am not really sure, but it could be a Fischer. They were really good 8 foot bar tables with side pockets that were unbelievably tight and all corners were also real tight. They had one at a bar called Charleston Heights here in Las Vegas in the 70's and early 80's and it was a good action...

It seems a little funny that the "Grady Matthews" rule would be designed to eliminate nit like behavior. Grady was the greatest at that type of play. Bump a ball, thin a ball, lay on a ball and continue to do all those things until he got an opening, pocket a ball, maybe two or whatever and go...

For the most part, bottom line is- " You can't get robbed in a poolroom unless you're looking to rob somebody yourself ".

A line I have used successfully many times is " A $100 is a little more than I usually play for, but I'll do it on the condition that you'll give me a chance to get even if I lose." Say it just loud enough for anybody who is with him to hear. You would be surprised how many times you will get a...

Of course all rules must be followed. I have been gambling at pool ( and about everything else ) since I was 11 and I will be 70 in a month and still doing it. One of the first lessons a player must learn and abide by it the rest of his life is that he is responsible to protect himself...

I beg to disagree. I believe good shortstops all the way up to world class players would break and run out many more times on a valley than on a diamond. I am including 8 ball, 9 ball and 10 ball.

I know it was an easy shot. I had to miss it to get shape,

Quit making excuses No such thing as bad luck- just bad shots!!

It's not the bow- it's the indian.

Following orders (kind of) I was watching a real good player who shall remain nameless playing 9 ball in Las Vegas a few years ago and as he made the 7 the cue ball had to travel 3 rails and it quickly became obvious that for shape on the 8 the cue ball had to kiss the 9. It was going to be...

The Mirage booked action on this tournament and Lebron was the longest shot at 18-1. There was a lot of money bet on him. You make the call.

Obviously most players would automatically prefer a straight cue but it certainly does not have to be perfect. I have played for 55 years and learned a long time ago to focus 100 percent on the situation directly in front of me. Too many times I have seen players that had potential but...

The side pockets didn't make any difference to Keith. He fired balls in the side 90 mph from some unbelievable angles, shots that 999 out of a 1000 guys wouldn't even go for. And he always split the wicket and just kept that fast pace going. He broke a lot of his opponents down just by his...

Call the Rumrunner Bar at 1801 East Tropicana in Las Vegas Tuesday night and you will catch him there.

Just for the record the old train station was about 50 yards directly behind the main entrance to the Union Plaza which is now The Plaza. Fremont street which now ends at Main street went straight across Main and you drove right up to the front of the train station and made a little circular...

You can only blame yourself if you get stiffed. I started gambling at pool in 1959 when I was 13. The last time I got stiffed was in 1960. Post the money- how simple can it be!!

There is an element of luck in all sports and pool is no different. I prefer pushout- 2 fouls in a row by the same player BIH. I play all ways so I really don't care- All I know from playing for 54 years is that the better player is gonna get the cash any way!

If the rule says unsportsmanlike conduct can include intentional miscueing, then this rule is very bad- 1. You tell the ref you're go to intentionally miscue-Foul 2. You don't tell the ref- then it is up to the ref to determine if you did it intentionally or not- gonna be a big problem at...
