    Are Junior players being set up for a tough life?

    Ai doesn’t make any direct decisions for the company, it provides analysis and data aggregation at a rate humans cannot match. You’re right there is no secret Ai engine but there are definitely tiers and you’re also paying for the cpu. I agree that in the widest lens it is a net negative for...

    Are Junior players being set up for a tough life?

    Yeah the magic lies in the way you prompt it, and everything it tells you that you decide to act on needs to be vetted in some way. Definitely not to be blindly trusted, but I will say that we use Ai engines not available to the general public yet that cost a decent white collar workers salary...

    Are Junior players being set up for a tough life?

    You are sorely mistaken and I think you will be surprised very soon. I work for a small sophisticated fund and we are delegating to Ai left and right. One of the main features our head developer is working on is creating Ai agent teams that are field experts. You can feed Ai research papers and...

    Justin Bergman is on a mission

    Bergman is severely underrated imo. He can beat anyone at any game. Glad he’s finally willing to hop on a plane

    Gambling spot table size, which would you pick

    On an easy table I’d rather have a game spot, on a tough I’d rather have a ball spot. If you’re getting games I’d go bar tabke. If you’re getting any kind of spot and you’re better you can probably do whatever you want lol

    Meh. It’s an industry. If you get close but fail, you can teach ppl how to influence. Like your golf friend. Everything is perishable when you zoom out far enough

    No joke if savannah had to to play this kid she would roast him. She doesn’t have to is the thing and that’s good for her. Shes on a good track I’m a fan

    Wow what a loser comment. Any woman succeeding must be a whore eh? We’re talking about a 16 yr old up and coming pool player. Don’t know wtf you’re talking about but sounds like you have some inner demons buddy.

    Are Junior players being set up for a tough life?

    Agreed. Savannah for instance, she’s not living and dying off being staked in big sets. She’s getting sponsors, building a brand, playing pro events. How far she can go in pool remains to be seen but it’s quite clear she’s invested in branding herself, she’s got a good head on her shoulders, and...

    Are Junior players being set up for a tough life?

    As a former professional AP casino gambler, these kids are in trouble man. I’ve seen it over and over. This gambling for a living thing gives people such a fucked up perspective of money. 10k isn’t 10k to them it’s just a days worth of gambling coupons. If pool doesn’t stick for some of these...

    small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

    I do think that professional level specs should play a part in what equipment is used, but at the end of the day it’s really up to you. Baseball moved the mound, but not for little league. NBA moved the 3 point line but not for college. You can play on whatever you think suits you best that’s...

    small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

    This wasn’t directed at me but I echo the sentiment of who it was directed at so I’ll field it. This what pros play on standard these days. I’m not delusional I know I’m a big dog to the ghost on this equipment, but if I can win playing my A game that’s what I want to strive for. Do you want to...

    small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

    Doesn’t necessarily make the game more difficult it just changes it. It makes pocketing more difficult. It makes taking balls out easier. It makes playing safe up table easier. It makes scratching less frequent. Etc

    small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

    I’m just trying to make a point that a lot of rooms here have 4” pockets and plenty of patronage and action. I live here and frequent the rooms. Not sure why people are trying to argue with me. Don’t care anymore ✌🏼

    The front 3 tables and 2 of the side ones were all 4” flat. Maybe you were just playing well lol

    small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

    Things change, but not this thing. If you were there anytime after 2000 you’re simply mistaken. Or they just sent you to the kiddie table

    small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

    Hob most certainly had 4” pockets even 3 7/8 on some tables. Hardtimes FAMOUSLY had 4” pockets on the tournament side. Other popular action rooms here with 4” pockets are aloha billiards in Buena Park (big action here people playing 2-10k sets daily), libertad in Santa Monica (one pocket room...

    small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

    Ok lol. So instead of a simple “wow I didn’t know that maybe I was wrong!” we’re going for a “I’m right and you’re a liar even though I’ve never been there”. You can live in your world and I’ll live in mine buddy. Next time you visit beautiful sunny Southern California, stop into a pool hall and...

    Like I said, not the case here in SoCal. 4” pockets as far as the eye can see and rooms are packed
