    Playing a better player

    If i wanted to play a better player cheap but cant get a spot because it’s too cheap are there any ways I could play to get the most bang for my buck? Would one shot and done be a viable option? Not worried about taking the worst of it because it is cheap just dont want to be down 6-1, 7-2...

    Best player with a 30 second shot clock?...now and then

    Who would be considered the best with a 30 second shot clock, now and in the past? I think T-Rex would do pretty well. Also, would it rearrange who are considered the top five? Of course all top players would eventually adapt. Lastly, has anyone played or practiced like this just to mix it...

    Ball spots equating to money line wagers

    For example, if I gave someone 8-7 but instead of balls they would rather get odds on the money. What would that equate too? How about other spots as well? 8-7 = 8-6 = 9-7= and so on

    Toby Fleharty

    Does he still play? I was watching a tape of him play. He has a really solid style and seems to pick the correct shot a large percentage of the time. Grady mentioned he was part owner of a pool room in Vegas.

    Prop bets for the future

    Of course it would have to be a long set like this to apply I believe. -Over under for the longest game -Over under for the shortest game -Will all the balls ever be above the head string - Over under number of 8 and outs -Number of games won by player who is losing 7-0 in balls -Will a 4...

    Racing to a certain amount of balls

    Instead of the normal 8 balls to win has anyone played to a higher number and played thru the entire rack. For example a race to 30 balls. In the first game I make 14 and my opponent makes 1. I now need 16 and he needs 29. I would think that this is a good way to learn how to play all...

    John Grissim's book Billiards

    Has anybody read it? What a great read. Stories about and quotes by Billy I., Lisciotti, Rempe, many others, and a whole chapter devoted to a match up and banter of Jersey Red vs. Gene Nagy playing one pocket. Awesome. I would rate it 8-7 under WOP and SM&S.

    Turnout for US Open 1 Pocket

    Do you think it will be a strong field? Just got done looking at turnout for SBE 1 Pocket and it seems like mostly regional players. The 4 marquis names were Appleton, Orcullo, Kiamco, and Thorpe. I'm sure they are expecting players to travel from SBE to Us Open 1 Pocket, but it doesn't seem...

    Playing Ability and Knowledge

    At what point in your playing career do you think your peak playing ability and one pocket acumen intersected. By acumen I mean when you look at a situation and say I know what the right shot is, not a guessing game.

    Thought this might be of interest

    Took me about 2hrs of searching high and low to find these. I had to go thru countless boxes in the attic and the basement. I knew I had them somewhere. I can remember calling JJ after getting his number out of WOP. He was very cordial and eager to place my order. I sent him a money order...
