I've bought and sold close to 100 cues but always kept an old Huebler sneaky pete and an equally old Meucci original (cocobolo and ebony points). When gambling I always reverted to that beat up old Huebler.

I watched Steve McAnnich give a decent player the 3 out playing 9 ball and win easily. Also, Alex P. gave one of the best local players the 6 out playing 9 ball. This was before anyone knew Alex and he came through town with Gabe O. and Corey D.

I agree with watching youtube videos but would start by watching Chris Gentile matches. He plays a more conservative game and chooses the right shots most of the time. Then move onto more aggressive players like Scott Frost.

I think Scott has a slight edge in moving and picking out some tricky shots that come up playing one pocket. But Alex is no slouch when it comes to these areas and his shot making and ball running are world class. If Scott plays his normal style, power one pocket, he will have a very hard time...

One pocket is about the only game I will watch. Like Ken said, banks if the players a top notch. I find 10 ball and 9 ball to repetitive and get bored easily.

I thought the trailer was entertaining. All the best pool halls I've been in had guys like Scooter. Nobody cared where the money came from as long as the are putting it in action. JAM, thanks for the link.

Wow. I have played a ton of one pocket and bank pool over 30 years and always used draw to shorten a bank. Like others said, it must be because I always hit those shots harder. Thanks for the information John, I will put that in my memory bank for future use.

Thanks much for posting the video. Love seeing anything about the legends of pool and Eddie Taylor was one of the best.

Omega DPK is by far the best hitting cue I've owned, but don't think you could buy one for less than a $1000. Ernie Martinez cues play great for a decent price.

Thanks for the great stream. Love watching one pocket.

Thanks Lenny. Always looking for high caliber one pocket videos. This is great stuff.

Great looking cue. I've had a number of Ernie's cues and they all played great and the workmanship was flawless. Good luck selling the cue, someone be lucky they got this one.

Sounds like the pool room where I started playing. Every type of criminal you could imagine. Pool and card action every day. A billiard table and 6x12 golf table in the basement. It was a great education into the gambling world.

Not really an air barrel but I saw a guy get in a bad game for a $100. After losing he ripped the $100 bill into about a 100 small pieces and said here's your money. Then the winner spent the next few hours taping it back together.

What a pleasure it was to listen to Karen Corr in the booth with Justin. Congrats to Rueben Bautista for beating Mika.

It was pretty surprising to see an unheralded player beat Mike Dechaine like that. They both fell apart a little at the end of the first set but overall Joey out played Mike in both sets. Mike's break really kept him from any chance of winning.

UpStateAl, great job on your streaming. Love your passion about pool.

Shane seems to play his top speed more consistently than the other top players. I've seen him frustrated occasionally but it doesn't seem to bother him for long. As of now he's the favorite to win everything.

Thanks for the great stream. There was a little buffering but the caliber of play and players more than made up for it.

Congrats to Justin Bergman, hell of a match. Both players made some great shots on a beast of a table.
