This is bizarre. LoreeJon and Jennifer Barretta are hill-hill, LoreeJon plays a safety, Barretta kicks and hits the 1, but clearly gets no cushion after the hit. LoreeJon for some reason does not realize this, and Jennifer says nothing.

LoreeJon plays a safe on the 1 without ball in hand, then ends up losing the game on a 1-9 combination. Very, very strange.

Barretta didn't hit a rail after contacting the 1-ball in their hill-hill game, but Loree Jon failed to notice and didn't take ball in hand. A couple minutes later she lost the match to Barretta on a 1-9 combination. Ouch.

JB pulled a move and that little smirk after making the 1-9 tells me that. She knew damn well she did not make a rail after contact. I am big on technicalities and admit it is not her responsibility to tell her opponent but at times doing the right thing trumps that. You are supposedly supposed to be a professional pool player.

My guess is that she'll say she didn't know that she didn't hit a cushion, even though it was obvious that she didn't.

I'd like to see a replay of this. I was sitting right there and didnt see it.

After this match and the Grabe vs Wilkie match, I just can't understand why TV and Vegas want nothing to do with pool.

Clearly looks like she looked at both balls and knows damn well she did not make a good hit.

Yep, you guys are right. no rail. Dont know if she saw it or not - not gonna speculate, cause I didnt and Loree didnt either.

There isn't gonna be any funny business with Wilke.

Just hard to believe she did not see it when she looked at both balls.

Does she have a history?

It's hard to see sitting down 10ft away. Loree is going to be sick

I'm just gonna assume Grabe pulled something or another at some point in their match, as he's kind of a doucebag.

This is part of the problem. You're 10 feet away, and you're sitting down, which means you can't really see what's going on on the table when your opponent shoots.

Just a quick comment on "Kevin West"....

Wanted to just say congrad's to "Kevin West" for playing very well... keep it going bro...

[WoodyMPW]

Nope. Just both played as slow as baseball changing pitchers with every shot.

Players are in folding chairs down very low. They should be in taller spectator chairs.

I'd never want to win that way...

Any action at your place? Might come by tomorrow night if there is - depending on the poker game at TS
