Here’s the thing though: he actually has to do it. He has 19 million followers on Instagram and has never posted a picture of him playing or holding a cue. There are more pictures of elk meat.

What? Maybe I have no idea what you’re actually saying. He’s an avid pool player, loves having pool players on his podcast, buys collector cues, and has videos of him shooting and talking about pool. I assume he has those videos on his instagram.

He was good friends with The Action Report. Pool might be his favorite hobby.

Have you ever thought that people that have played both new and old formats may in fact have logical takes? I'm 66 and have seen 9ball played in both the classic two-shot, hard break era and the current cut-break, duck-n-hide one-foul of today's game. IMO most of today's 9b is about as exciting as watching snails fk.

If you want to see the snails, take a look at Clarkson Farm season 5😂

I can’t wait until Stu‘s wrap up, and I’ve only been here for a day and a half, but the venue set up itself for these past two days has been amazing. Obviously, a lot of people know I go to a lot of events,… And this one was a lot easier to watch any match you wanted to, and it seems like all the tables are enjoyable and playing well. At least I haven’t heard anybody saying that the outer tables were playing poorly or anything like that. And there were so many exciting matches yesterday. One of the greatest single days of pool I’ve ever attended.

The downside…? The food. The concessions hot dog and nachos is about the only thing moving. I guess I was expecting that since it was in Dallas that there’d be 100 things to do for food within a small walking distance, but there really isn’t. Fortunately for me, my hotel is easily within walking distance, and it has a restaurant with good food, but with the near 95°F heat, you gotta be used to the heat to go outside and walk a quarter to half a mile. Fortunately I’m from Florida. And I noticed not too many people made that walk.

To be in Texas and not have a bbq truck on site is criminal

I missed classic 2-shot by a generation. Although, when I was 16, I got trapped by some old timer that got me to play 2-shot 9 ball. I was so lost. Haha!! Memories. That was the only time I’ve played that format or even saw it played. I think I’d enjoy it now though.

I know for a fact that many of the previous generations have excellent takes on pool. I’ve read them every day for years here on AZ. But when the horse is dead. Stop beating it.
 
The 15th rack (Fedor at 8-6) was ridiculous. Fedor sorta 2wayed the 3, and left it near the top left corner with whitey cheek to cheek with the 6 near the 3rd diamond on the long rail above the side. Capito 2 rail kicks the 3 dead. Played safe after with the 4 down table but Fedor countered with a terrible safe attempt, Capito then runs out to get his 7th rack.
