    One Pocket in New York City and thereabouts: does it exist?

    If so, where can it be found? If not, now that Steinway is gone, where do the better 14.1 and 9 ball players gather? I know about Amsterdam but have never seen a soul, not even me, play one pocket in there.

    Fedor v John Morra 10-8 May 22 2023 Five Ahead Buffalos

    Did anybody just see Fedor's sweet runout against Morra? Ahead 1-0 in games but now down 7 to 1 in Game Two, John goofed and Gorst spun together a perfectly executed sequence elegantly negotiating nine widely dispersed balls. It had an air of inevitability about it. About as good as it gets...

    Don Lim, and Jimmy Duval RIP

    I first met Don in the 90's at lots of pool events, but I didn't get to know him until a few years ago when I started playing 14.1 at Crown in San Ramon. He seemed like he knew what he was trying to do but he couldn't ever get it done on the table, however he never came up short with his...

    T-Rex vs The Killer Game by Game Analysis

    I don't know if anyone wants to do this, but this conversation has really got me wondering exactly what happened in this match. It's only 38 games, and it won't be the definitive match of the pandemic era (or will it?), but something is happening here and I'm not sure we know what it is. Since...

    It is wonderful to be a Shortstop

    Isn't it an amazing opportunity that reasonably seasoned 1p players have when they can wrangle competitively with top players and not come out of it feeling like they never had a chance? In what other important individual contest of skill and experience do 2nd and 3rd tier players, hell maybe...

    Accu-stats vhs tapes from the 90's

    I've got a few dozen tapes of great 1p match-ups, and am looking to sell them off now. If there is any interest, let me know and I'll put up a list. I'm thinking they have to be worth about $10 each.

    What is or should be the rule when a player puts their hand in the pocket

    Last night, in the case game of my match with George Michaels, he shot a standard crossing bank while pulling the cue ball two rails towards the far corner. He hit it a little hard and the cue ball was heading right towards the corner hole. As it rolled, he walked over and put his hand into...
