Why is nobody talking about Busty & Alex????

Earl made the final shot.

Who won the matches between Earl/Shaw and Busty/Warren?

Thats from my rules for pool gambling:

1. Never bet against Shane
2. Never bet against a Filipino
3. If Shane is playing a Filipino keep your money in your pocket and enjoy the show.

I don't have a rule for when a Filipino plays a Filipino. I guess Rule 2 could apply but it wasn't written with that situation in mind. I honestly cant pick a favorite. I think Alex is the favorite in the one hole but after that who knows. I am really excited for the next two weeks.

Justin,

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you had in coined for #1 as "always" bet on Shane.

That other guy has a funny stroke and his name is harder to spell, a sure sign of a loser.

And.........Alex's last name is easy to spell???

Pag-you-lion, right???

This match is a coin flip.

Pool in NYC has never been better (in recent years) over the past year. Steinway Billiards has recharged some life into this area has been action central. A healthy mix of road players, pros and gamblers. Action Action Action! Last night Shaw/Strickland played Busty/Kiamko on the 5x10 while the 9' tight tables were in constant action. I heard Scooter and Jorge Rodriguez were going to play a big set, but I left early.

Pool, at least in my area, is alive and well.

But in general, it's been non stop. Always something to sweat and bet on.

Steinway is the only reason there is any action at all in the NYC area. I think Amsterdam is a top caliber room but always much more a league room then any type of action room. Society never had action and Soho had some action but the "$20-$50" a set variety on Fri and Sat nights only. Slate was a yuppie after work in their suits crowd with NO action (and bad restaurant). Steinway has changed EVERYTHING in relation to action in NYC Pool Rooms. Getting Earl as the House Pro is also a way of giving that room even more excitement. NY pool players and fans of playing for..or watching big $ and big name games just got really lucky. Thought it would happen in Manhattan before Queens but the drive is worth it.
