    Heavier playing cue. Is Earl on to something?

    In the 60s I played with light cues in the 17 oz. range on 9ft tables with regular weight cue balls. When I started traveling and playing on the barboxes with the heavy greaseballs, I started using 21-22 oz. cues trying to adjust to the heavy cueball I could barely move. After a while though I...

    Post Removal

    I agree Billy, same thing happened to me. I understand now a little better but it hurt to lose all of my posts with only a few being spam when I jumped in the fray. To me it was the way it happened all of a sudden and to my knowledge no warning. I do see a need to require a waiting period...

    How Will the Poker Site Fiasco Affect Pool?

    Would someone elaborate on this. An acquaintance who owns some of these machines told me he can adjust the pay out level with a switch in the back. When he first put his machines in his business the pay out was 70% to customer and 30% to the house, a month or so later it is gradually...

    thanks PT109, I'll do my best not to disappoint and it will be easy to disagree with almost everything I post. :grin: as for Pocketpoint, I got some good laughs also.

    I don't know Celtic, I've never been to the action room. However, it seems that some other things were affected also, like pictures in peoples signatures and viewing the raffle section. One poster said that he was in a raffle and couldn't access it. I've lurked for about a year and finally...

    With so many gambling sites being investigated by the Feds, maybe the owners got wise and decided to protect the "action room" a little with the 25 post rule. just a thought

    not allowed in action room forum

    I wouldn't post a bunch of meaningless posts to get the 25. I joined in on a few and lost the posts that I had that were legitimate.........fair warning. I do think that lurkers are being unfairly critized by regular posters. All forums have lurkers and many more than regular posters if you...

    STICKY - For Those Needing 25 Posts For Full AZB Access

    agreed Luke, but to my knowledge there was no warning about needing 25 posts. I admit afterwards I felt ridiculous and tried to turn it into an introduction thread but that didn't work either. I will try to make reasonable comments in the future.

    STICKY - For Those Needing 25 Posts For Full AZB Access

    I was perfectly happy with a few posts and a couple of purchases, but the new rule was put in place with no notice and involves more than just the action room. So, if you are in a raffle as one poster mentioned you are out of luck. There has always been a power thing in forums and I've been...
