Earl the Pearl Burns One in competition

 Earl , probably pissed off after seeing the horrible impersination by mr Joe Rogan proved that he could top 184 contestants. Taking the US Bar Table Championship. 

Efren "The Magician" Reyes brought nearly 1.7 million in prize money to bring the Filipino natural position to the eyes of the world. Reyes noted as the Magician for his seeming ease at pocketing and positioning nearly unhuman shots.

Efren Reyes, the 55 year old sensation, won more than 20 major mens professional pool titles during the decade, starting way back with his $30,000 Camel Pro 8 ball championship win in 2000. Of his 22 majorly notable victories, the Magician won four one pocket, four 8 ball, and 14 9-ball titles. He also won the Derby City Classic all around player three times.

It was during the short lived international Pool Tour that Reyes scored his biggest cash wins. In three multi-million dollar events. Reyes walked home with one of the biggest takes in the history of billiards $765,000 from the 2005 IPT King of the Hill and 2006 IPT North American Open.

Fischer established her dominance over the womens pool scene for a second straight decade. After winning 26 Classic Tour titles in the 90's the former European snooker champ added 27 more major titles form 2000-2010. In addition to her WPBA Classic Tour titles.

Fisher at age 41 earned the gold medal at the 2009 World Games. She was also noteably the 2000 BCA US Open 14.1 champion and won the Tournament of Champions five times. She earned 637,000 over the 10 years run

Mika Immonen and Jasmin Ouschan are crowned players of the year. Both are born outside of the US.

Jasmin followed controversy with a beautifull showing for 2009

in 2008 The Austrian Jasmin Ouschan, Winner of the WPBA Tour stop in North Carolina, was suspended for two tournaments by the WPBA Board.

Mika double dipped in 2009 taking multiple duplicate titles including the US open 9 ball championship two years in a row.

Immonen, who resides in New York City, enjoyed his best year ever citing Kamui tips and lots of practice. Added to his list of 2009 wins are the Galveston World Classic 10 Ball title and Qatar Open title.

Snakewood were did you go

Failures to find good snakewood have resulted in a rise in the price

With all of the devistation down south of us, snakewood has become even more of a comodoty

I spent a good 3 hours calling at least 15 dealers in the US, none of wich would give me a price under 250 US for a 6/4x18 inch square 4 side A+ Grade

It seems that there might be an increase in the price of snakewood cues for some time

We appologize that were not going to be able to attend. Probably next year.

We will have an update with some high resolution pictures for you to drool on.

Cheers for the teaser!

Holy ballz I'm less observant than previously established. It looks like inside pool magazine is also free to download. I thought I was one of the elite that managed there subscription to every billiards magazine , carefully surveying competition. Indulging in billiards literature monthly to fatten my head, and my wallet.

Now anyone can get there free copy online, where is planned parenthood in all of this. I should have aborted a year back. Now im stuck $100 for the year on these billiards magazine subscriptions that I never really needed to purchase. I could have used an extra tank of gas.

In the words of a great poet.. Dont stress what you cant change.

Little known fact - You can cancel a credit card transaction up untill the end of any subscription. Not that Im advocating credit card theft. Ya Wankers

  WHY AM I PAYING FOR BD?

Im not to big on checking my junk email accounts, but every once in a while ill look through to see if anything important has slipped past my eye.

 A Deaf guy signing that earl is an A-hole? I found this little clip after I saw the Joe Strickland clip.

Check out the guy in the background.

For those who dont pay all that much attention to who is where in the billiards industry. Our beloved cheap shot billiards is no longer in service . From the looks of there whois, they either did not pay go daddy there penance , or they were doing some naughty things that brought the law in to the mix
