Player A bets Player B that he can't cut the 12-ball into a corner pocket (not a game situation--just two balls set up on the table). Player B makes the ball and scratches. Who gets paid?

In a local weekend tournament, a player pulled a B.R.A.C. bank calculator out of his pocket to figure out where on the rail to aim. Is that legal?? If not, what is the penalty?

This is my first time flying Spirit Airlines, and my heart told me not to trust them with my cues! How do you lose a bag on a nonstop flight from St. Thomas to Orlando??!! I guess Racks in Sanford won't be seeing me tonight! 😡😢 Praying that they are found, and warning all players...leave Spirit...

Am in Ft. Lauderdale for a couple days, and I always like to meet my fellow fanatics anytime I go somewhere. Will be at Corner Pockets this afternoon/evening. Anyone up for hitting some balls and playing some cheap sets or 14.1 games?

Since I'm foolish enough to lend out instructional books, I find myself having to replace them every so often. I am dismayed, though, to find that Most of the great books published over the last couple decades (such as Capelle's, Henning's and now Wilson's books, are not sold in e-book format...

I'm visiting the DC area and had the honor and pleasure to hit balls for a couple hours with Brandon Shuff at First Break Billiards. I can't begin to say how much I enjoyed playing and conversing with this great player and, more importantly, this fine gentleman! He gave me some great advice that...

Here's the situation: In a tournament match presided over by a referee, a player is lining up on a ball hanging in the corner pocket and calls "14 in the corner". In reality, however, he has called the wrong number and the ball is actually the 15. Does the referee declare his turn over, or does...

Here's the situation: The two top guns for the teams in the finals of the league championship are playing in a crucial match (the team score is tied 6-6 in a race to nine matches). The match is being presided over by a referee and is thus all ball fouls. Player A touched an object ball while...

I was playing some straights last night, and I was on a 42-ball run and was playing perfectly--going through the racks the right way, landing perfect on the break balls and feeling like this was going to be the big 100-ball run. I got to the break ball, and noticed that the tangent line was...

After a few months of reading and participating in discussions about why there is such a poor market for men's professional pool, I have come to an obvious but important conclusion. The obvious place to look for the fan base is in the amateur leagues. There are hundreds of thousands of players...

It just started 15 minutes ago, and I tuned in just in time for "...like the church of the good hustler."

Congrats to Jim for his stellar performance at the Hollywood Billiards tournament this last weekend. He posts here regularly, but I don't know if he wants his forum name mentioned. Cornerman, are you checking this out? Our UMASS pool buddy is hitting 'em pretty straight?

Once again, The Color of Money is starting now on ESPN Classic. For us addicts who just can't resist televised stuff about our sport, it's another little fix.

This is the 1994 U.S. Open finals, when Efren was still "Mr. Second Place"!

This is the 2005 UPA Pro Tour Championship Loser's side finals. Action!

Can't lose with this one! Nick in his prime (during that period he was as dominant as anyone has been in the modern era) and the always dangerous Tony Ellin (RIP) are in the box! You should see the cut Tony just made on the 9-ball!

Yep, you got it! Earl at his peak and a young Busta in action!

There's some guy that is reportedly on St. Thomas by the name of Alfredo (no last name provided), and the line on him is that he's a champion (runs 200+ balls, etc.) who hails from the NYC area. I thought I knew about most of the top players in that area, and the only person I could think of...

Yep, it's on! Mike before he became "The Mouth", and Johnny before he became so conservative!

Here in St. Thomas the youngbloods have a saying, "Pressure does bust pipe." If you want to see proof that this saying is true, take a look at the WPC match between Efren and Tony Crosby now showing on Fox Sports Network. The match aired an hour ago on another regional network, and without...
