    Handicap question

    Player A, B, and C all play same speed. If A and B play partners against C, is C the favorite? I thought being your own partner was an advantage but what do you think?

    Efren v Parica match this Sat in Simi Valley

    Efren will play an exhibition match this Sat against Jose Parica at a place called The Billiard Plaza. I don't know if that is the old Sal Butera pool room or not. Afterward Efren will play challenge matches with all comers. I heard he flies back to the Phillipines the following day.

    Who wins when shooter makes winning ball in his hole and his opponent's hole?

    I am getting 8-6. The shooter makes his winning ball, but also makes my winning ball. Who wins? And does it matter which ball goes in first? And what if he makes a ball, and my winning ball, does his inning continue?

    Sad News. Don Jackson passed away

    Sad news. Don Jackson died yesterday. He was a good player and a regular at Hard Times Bellflower for many years, and before that could be found in any and all pool rooms and bars in LA or Orange County. He had some health problems, and died in his sleep. We will miss him.

    First Shot in One Ball One Pocket?

    I know you freeze the ball to center of the foot rail, and you can't try to cut it in. But what is the best opening shot? Trying out new games being stuck in house with only one opponent. Lucky to have a table and an opponent. I have seen the game played, but never paid enough attention.

    Getting a Gold Crown I today in my living room!

    I decided I needed a pool table more than a couch and chairs. So I bought an old Gold Crown that used to be in Kenny Ishida's Golden Cue in El Monte, and they are going to deliver it and install it today! Can't wait to get back in stroke!

    Frank the Barber we Miss You!

    Frank. We miss you at Hard Times. But of course, it is closed. What happened to your pool table? I think I need to buy a table for my house so I don't forget how to play before this virus thing is resolved. Do you know anyone who has a table for sale? Hope you are well. Carla

    When I left the pool room last night Ernesto had 4 beautiful tables completed and hoped to have the rest of the tournament room done for the Sat one pocket tourney or at least by Sunday's 9 ball tourney. And he is going to do the 6 x 12. The new cloth is gorgeous! Thank you Eddie and Ernesto...

    Who Wins When Balls Goes in Both Holes?

    Last night, I needed one ball and my opponent needed two. He cross banked a ball into his hole, making my out ball first. I win, he still needed one more ball. But what if he only needed that one? Do I win because my out ball went in first, or does he win because he is the shooter? Next...

    Push Shots

    Cue ball is frozen to object ball. Some say you can shoot straight through this, and the cue ball follows straight through as fast as the object ball. I would rather have my opponent [and myself] elevate or shoot at a 45 degree angle away from the object ball. How do you guys do it in gambling...
