...I think there are a few. I wasn't sure if this was pool-related but I guess it's aimed at everyone I've gotten to know through AZB so that'll do (although with my aiming lately I'd probably miss!) Most folks know I've been living in the USA for awhile now & have been acting as a...

I got thinking about this a few days ago & decided to start a thread. Personally, I have to consider 2007 a succesful year for me where pool is concerned. The highlights so far (yes, I know it's almost 2008 but you never know!) 1. I became totally hooked on AZB! 2. Thanks to meeting Donovan I...

As some of you may know if you've read TXPoolsharks thread "Off to a good start for a 20 week season" (which has become a constant update between me & him on league stuff) one of my teammates had to quit playing earlier this summer due to sickness. He had problems with his back & legs & had...

First off let me say I've been wanting to try my hand at straight pool for awhile but just hadn't gotten around to it. I'm mainly an 8 ball player & occasionally 9 ball. So, I arrived early (as usual) for league last Thursday & was watching 2 guys I know play some straight pool, just to 30...

Wow, I'm more than a little surprised that I've hit this milestone in less than a year! I'd like to think that somewhere among those posts are 1 or 2 good ones! Funnily enough I think one of my first posts was in Solartje's thread when he hit 1000. So, I thought I'd take the opportunity to...

This place is getting busier every week, and the fields are getting tougher! 3 events each week now. Friday: Scotch Doubles 8 ball Saturday: 8 ball singles Sunday: 8 ball singles First Sunday of each month: 9 ball singles. All tournaments are double elimination & cost $10 per player. There...

I hope I'm not speaking too soon with that title! Since our 8 ball league ended (which we won) back in June, my game had gone downhill horribly. Now, I'm no expert & have only been playing for the last 10 months after a 13 year layoff but I know what I'm capable of & hate it when I play below...

OK, possibly silly question time again. How does a player gain the rank of Master? Do you have to win certain events or a certain number of events? Or against a certain level of competition? Or is it just bestowed upon you by the Jedi council? I started wondering about this last night after...

Hey my friend, Having not seen you in awhile I was hoping you hadn't missed the last PM I sent you.

OK, this has been discussed in another thread briefly & now we're going to go for it. A few of us DFW area folks are looking to meet up & possibly play some kind of mini tournament. The venue will be Volcano's in Hurst on Sunday May 6. We can start anytime from 11am onwards depending on what...

This could be a long one!! I just wanted to post my thoughts on Donovan after meeting up with him today to play. I can honestly say he is as much of a good guy in person as he is on these forums. We spent the best part of 6 hours playing 8 ball today & I had a blast. We had some great games (&...

Yep, I think a week off or so is on the cards. I was planning on just one night's play this week, that being the usual 9 ball tourney, after having a really good few hours fun on Saturday afternoon. Now, however the choice is not all mine. The problem is, I twisted my ankle last Thursday while...

This could be long. That's how I feel tonight. It hasn't been a good few days. I have an Aunt back in England who is really like a second mother to me, she's been in my life as long as I can remember. Lately I've noticed she is getting very forgetful whenever I speak to her. I'm lucky to have a...

Well, to me anyway! We were visiting my sister-in-law today & I found out that her husband is a big fan of snooker, something that had never been mentioned before. Not only that but they're currently having a new house built. A big one. She gave us the tour around the place today, I really was...

I think I'm going to try not to play pool over Christmas. I was very tempted to get some practice because my wife is working Christmas Eve, Day & the day after (Boxing Day to me!) but after playing some horrible stuff this week I'm going to do my best to forget all about it. Now, I don't play...
