I kind of figured that!

Congratulations on winning the cue!

As an aside, knowing how particular KM is on his cue -- skinny butt, long taper, 4.0-plus ounce shaft, hard tip, forward balance, Irish linen wrap, and 20-plus ounce in weight -- I often wondered when people do win pool cues if they are put to good use.

In other words, when a cue is a prize in a raffle, it isn't necessarily tailored for your likes and dislikes, or is it?

This one is a Jim White and though I will play with it now and again as I do all my cues, it is primarily a collector. In this case it is not tailored to my particular likes and dislikes, but cues on the secondary market rarely are. If you know the cue Zeeder had, it is that one.

I have only won 1 other cue, a production line Joss cue which I sold for a little under it's retail value. This one I won't be selling unless I fall upon very hard times or maybe when I bubble to the top of Joel Hercek waiting list.

I think somebody who plays at the level Keith does has to be more particular about what he is playing with. His game is so precisely tuned that I venture a guess it has a bigger effect on him to change his weapon.

I hasten to say it, but I am not sure I know who Zeeder is. :o

The cue looks very nice. If it is a collector's item, that is a wonderful prize. :)

Me personally, I can't tell anything about different cues, other than the weight! I like a 19-ounce cue, but as far as forward balance, short or long taper, soft/medium/hard tip, Predator versus "normal" shaft, they all seen to have the same hit for me. :o

Hmmmmmmmmm....

I'm one of those who open a window to AZ and leave it open all day rather I'm home or not ... It is the first thing I check when I get in and one of the last before I go to bed. I've not been here long but I'm a AZ junkie ... Not sure if I should be posting this here on in the drug addiction thread. I keep thinking sooner or later it will grow old but as of yet it has not ... I still manage to be on here several hours a day... I'm hooked ... Do they have rehabs for this ???

The AzBilliards addiction starts out as 1 to 2 hours a day.

However, if you're not cautious, soon you will be on here 24/7, with the rest of us.

Be careful. Be very careful! :D

I check in and out several times per day, while at work. On really slow days, I spend way too much time on AZ!! Don't tell!!
 
Yeah I'm in the 8 hours a day while I'm at work. But don't fret I get the job done. For all you know I might be a computer monitor tester.

I love Az. I'm excited to go to some events like the DCC and meet some of the regulars on here. Maybe play some of the other b players for money, have some drinks and then have something to talk about while in the forum and pms.

What events are a must attend for Az members?
 
Sadly since i'm stuck in bed most of the time because of my back i'm on alot, its open on my computer all day, i work from bed so I dont read here much, perhaps an hour or 2 a day, I'm learning to write better, so thats why some of my posts are way too long. I want to learn to write books and sell them, I know I could do it, i'm very well spoken but for somereason it dosent translate to the keyboard, converly I have a friend who is an amazing writer but he never ever says a word.

if I was healthy I would still come here an hour a day to relax and clear my mind, TV sucks, I dont read novels or books. National Enquior is great but I never remember to buy it, and besids there is more bull shit to read here,:D


and yes when i do write books I will have someone correct the spelling etc. i'm actually gettting close to attempting that, when I get to that point i'll disclose what they will be about-its not pool, more like Anthony Robbins or KT kinda things, with a differnt concept. Not get rich quick schemes or biz-op from home BS, but real stuff.

Depending on what time of day it is, I see quite a few of what I'd call "regulars" on AzBilliards Discussion Forum. I know I'm always taking a peek at this forum when I am working. :p

It's a habit, I think, being hooked up to the Internet for work reasons, searching on Google for correct spellings, et cetera. :o

This is a blind poll, meaning nobody will know how you voted. So even the lurkers can be comfortable casting their votes.

How long do you spend on this forum? I am interested to see how the membership, at least those who read this thread, vote. :D

And be truthful! ;)

I own a pool room, so I am usally on-line during Buisness hour's from 12:30pm until 02:00 am. Throughout each day I veiw the forum in between Cue Building and Customer service. While I stay signed on, throughout the day I normally veiw the forum 4 hour's a day.

I had BB in the exacta for the derby.
Liked the way he pulled away from the field at the top of the stretch.
Hopefully a duplicate trip this Saturday.

and if he does win look for 1-10 or 1-5 in a very small Belmont field.

Several times, I have taken hiatuses from reading AzBilliards Discussion Forum.

I must admit that in the morning time, as I'm sipping my Pleasant Morning Buzz coffee, I like reading this forum. Some folks like to read The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Post. Me, I like reading AzBilliards. :D

During the hiatuses, I initially felt the void and experienced a little angst looking for some worthy morning reading material as I was trying to wake up. :p

After a week or two, though, I didn't miss it at all.

I have met many AzBilliards lurkers who state they will never post on the forum because once they start, then they have to keep checking back for any and all responses, and it represents, for lack of a better word, a mental commitment. Not posting and just reading, in other words, seemed like a better fit for the lurkers.

At any rate, I'm on here now procrastinating a horrible job that I have already decided I can't finish today. ;)

I've been on here off and on at least 12 hours today since I woke up. :eek:

My wife keeps screaming for me to put down my I-Phone. I just pulled over and let her drive. :D

Ahhhhhhhh, this is much better!

Anyone have a 7 step program for AZB addiction ??

I was wanting to ask this poll question for some time myself. AZBilliards forums are kind of like going down to the local pub for happy hour everyday:

1. Some days you hit and run and go home to do chores or play a tournament. (your pick)
2. Other days, you find someone that is looking to pick a fight and you jump right in or walk away.
3. Other days, you wife is yelling at you to mow the lawn and you tell her as soon "as I am done with this thread." (drink)
4. Lots of laughs, lots of cussin', and great camraderie late into the night.
5. You wake up the next morning late for work wondering what time you made it to bed the night before.

Gotta go... gonna be late for work.:D :D :D
 
At least 5 times a day, its one of my homepages and im probably gonna get an iphone so i can check it at the pool hall. I think ive got a problem.
