I lost in 2nd round of this tournament, and normally i always congratulate my opponent. The guy who beat me though was using lines, and i didn't geta single shot from being up 3-1 to losing 3-4.

I knew going into the tournament that lines were being used, so I can't blame my opponent for using them. It is though, really frustrating to see a guy making these tough shots time upon time not caring about positioning the ball for the next shot, and it is very sad that this feature was allowed during such a big tourney like the battle of the continents.

Spratt Factor had the same fate as me meeting a 2-star player in 3rd round who potted like a robot and beat him 4-1. Spratt is one of the best players on here and it's sad to see that he is not awared for having practiced and honed his skills by playing thousands of games. Instead his edge is taken away from him and given to his opponent even, since im sure spratt wouldn't touch those lines with a stick.

What is more, is that my opponent, Pomodor, is also a player called Wolf-tr. He told everybody this was the case and that he was not hiding the fact. Using multiple accounts in itself should warrant a ban, but if Wolf_tr also played in qualifier satellites for this tournament, then it is really serious as he has taken a chance to win 500 dollars from someone more deserving.

At least soon rooms without lines will be introduced, and I pray that the sunday freeroll will be without lines too, so that players who have actually practiced a lot get rewared for this in some way.

Sad way to end a promotion that started without lines and finished with.

like i said in my post.... VERY VERY VERY BAD WORK ADMINS (thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)(thumbdown)

A big farce again.

No:1
ok great.
Normaly i wouldnt write msg in this thread. But beacause of Albinaire called my name in his thread i have to clear some subjects.
First lets talk about being a great player. To be a great player is easy. Practice and practice.....How about being a great player and person? I bet there is not so many person that can give answer to this question in those who has 4-5 star rating. Because most of them starting to yell and trying to find excuses to their loss games with stupid covers. So i am very sad i couldnt face a player in this site who is gentle against thier opponents except 1-2 player. Albinerie talking about lines and some other stuff to explain result of his loss. You Albinerie, wote "good liner...etc" after our match. I didnt see any congrats from you. And you keep writing about my skill, my shots and etc... in comon chat even i didnt answer you about them. When you were writing them, i bet you forgot how you lost the game. It was 3-0 for you. And i did 2 run outs with my break. And 1 run out against your miss shot. And 1 game against your safety. And you were still talking about my "skill", about my shots and about my positioning game. I bet someone watched my 2 run outs which were great. Especially last game.And it is funny you were still talking about my skill and positioning game. Where were your skill during 4 games? Even you had 4-5 shots not 1-2 shots as you said. But in anycase you are still trying to hold this case. Who told you that i am using lines? And how can you say that someone playing like robot? Who gave you permision for this? Being no:1 does not gives you ticket to win every tournament. Please be gentle to your opponents. And watch out what you writing in comon chats and forums. Because you dont seem like no:1, you seem like a little child. And you are getting smaller and smaller infront of everyone.

No:2
And i have a small info about me to those players rant about me. I created my ID in 2007. I believe i am older member of this site than most of the other players. Admins can prove this. I am playing pool more than 15 years. I made over 10.000$ from other online poolsites. I can see some members of this site also knows me from other sites. I have great friends who plays pool great at that sites. And i am missing to play against them because all of them was great players and great gentlemen. I am searching some of my friends here. (Btw Vlad if you hear me please send me msg: doguaktan@hotmail.com I lost your addy man.)We created ID with them around 1.5 years ago.
I have never ever have hided that i have 2 ID in this site. Because it was not in my knowledge about multiple ID rule. I am not that stupid. I really interested to play in this site last two weeks. I won 6 tournament out of my last 7 tournaments. But It is ok if i banned. Rule is rule. Dont worry Albinerie, i never played with 2 ID in a tournament also in BOC.And i am in shock how you wrote this also. You are trying to show me a full cheater. I am not that kind. I know how to handle loosing a game. Money is not my aim. Star raiting is noting for me. Just playing good pool. I know you will write some stuff after this and i will not give you answer.Thats all....
And a little note for Die(Hard): I played many games against him. I dont know if he is cheater or not.(I dont believe btw) But he is playing great. He knows the mind of this game. Positioning, creating run outs, safety shots. It is great to watch him on table. And there is no prb for me about loosing to him and also loosing to anyone. Thanks man, thanks for playing with me. You are the best for now in this site. And one day i will beat you. You are my aim...lol...
Oh last word..if you really want to see a great positioning game watch Manowar.. Damn good..
Regards,

Made my feelings clear in the thread about Spratt's elimination. And I echo them for Albinario's situation too... all the hours of practice and training made obsolete by a moronic admin decision. And moronic is kind word to use.

a couple of days ago, i posted these very concerns to the admins in a 2 part post in the feedback section. now, juggalojiggalo is bragging abt how he took out Spratt Factor. unbelievable. and the thing about the multiple accounts, i agree with you that he ought to hv his money taken away + that he be banned.

Pomidor if it's about playing good pool to you, then you shouldnt use lines man. It worsens the game cause it takes away the importance of position.

I don't know you, don't think i ever played you before, you may be a nice guy and all.... I beleive you were using lines in the match considering the crazy cuts you made, but why should you be ashamed of that, since it's perfectly legal. And if you didn't cheat with multiple accounts, then good for you, but it's pretty obvious you can't have multiple accounts on a real money website. I never called you a cheater, just stated the facts as I knew them.

I'm mostly upset at poolstars for not taking itself seriously and degrading itself by adding these toy game features.

And congratulations and well done to Maniac for making it to the final without lines. Sisu!

Guys ( maybe i should to say only Albinario) u becomes annoying. You won here too much, i think that created a star illness to you. I remember like u said that the guy u played ( Pomidor ) was totally stupid and couldn't play at all. Well as far as i know this guy during few years everything i can say, well man your not even deserve to be a big pool player u know why? Because its not only about playing pool it is also about being gentle and show respect to all of your opponents. I would like to say that this guy ( Pomidor ) is better that u + me + who ever i played on this site before. Yeah, i know it is hard to understand, it is very hard to believe in this, u supposed to be totally best on here...

I would like to say also, guy stop talking about the lines, the poolstars admins made it not just for fun, it is all about to have more members and u know it, they need more people, please tell me online pool game that has MANY MANY members and there are no lines at all? Yeh none of them, your right. I played many games, many sites and so on, every single game has lines so no need to talk about it anymore and create tonns of topics, its just annoying.

P.S. Pomidor, Vlad will hear you some day.

AMEN !!!!!!!

Manowar, I never called anyone stupid or, like you, assumed things about their character. All i said is that i was beaten by a guy that potted extremely well, but looked like he didn't know much about where the white would go after a shot, and that he was using multiple accounts actively. You've beaten me enough times to know i don't moan when losing (for long).

Personally I've never seen an online 3-d pool application that has lines, but I havent played at many. Only online pool games with lines that I've seen are the 2-d versions such as yahoo pool.

And I'm sure lines will not attract a crowd here. Only thing that will improve the number players is advertising to get more traffic, and then an easy set-up process and installation for those who get here.

Oh and please tell me Pomodor, where did you make 10.000 dollars. I played online for many years and only made 6 pounds before poolstars.

I think the most popular online billiard game ever is iPool & iSnooker. They have lines, not only line from qball to object, but from object to pocket too. So it is useless to speak about lines.

That looks like a 2-d variation of yahoo pool to me...

it is 3d + 2d just like poolstars...

Manowar that is not true what you say, why should the side be called" the best 3D graphics and realistic game play on the web" if ther are lines? camon dont be so ignorant now just because u have a winning streake now with those lines... By the way, i think manowar u have won not much less then albinario in here, u win pretty much tourneys!!! .. I think you people just like the lines because you figured you can be good with them without practicing alot, but how good you people realy are was shown before the lines was ther. Now everywher just robots playing, not realistic it is, you ever seen people with laserpointers on ther cues in real life? noway, because its not pool. U can do those lines maybe for a group of under or on 2 stars, but u cant let them play against some 1 that plays realistic 3d pool, and that was the point why we are here, because it was supernatural... i think it is a shame that people with skills use those lines to win a 500$ tourney when they know the opponent doesent use them. you people will take far more money from the system then albin would without lines, realy a shame on you.... and i dont even think that was the point, i think it was that ther was AGAIN a multiaccounter during the qulifiers tours and even the final... i just dont know what to say... that must have been replayed like the other promotion, but will never happen... Good promotion again

rofl.

so, Manowar, you say that lines are good because other pool games have it?

because of this no-line here, PoolStars was so realistic and skill-friendly. now it is just pool... like other games.
do you think that more people will come here, when this game is easy to play like other games?

good luck PoolStars with your anti-skill policy

Realistic, Realistic, what are u talking about guys??? It never will be realistic untill u keep a cue in your hands... The jumps are so stupid and easy on here why don't u scream about avoiding the jump shots. Im repeating it will be never realistic till u aim with your mouse, lines or not it is still online VIRTUAL game... I would better avoid these silly jump shots, the snoookers are not hard for anyone.... Stop it please....

Also i never seen yet that low skill player beat high skill. Believe me Pomidor better than anyone on this site. I have beat Albinario some day in final of weekly without these lines, i have won the biggest tourney for now on here but im sure i will never win in big race with lines or without it to the guy called Pomidor, so please stop this useless screaming...

sure it is not 100% realistic. and it will never be.

but where is the fun, when there's no tough balls in this game?

I will suggest to the authorites and admins to take it to the next level. Install a "pot the ball" button!! Just press it and you dont even have to shoot....

That will spare the troubles for the aiming line lovers to find the right angles with the ghostball.

And poolstars will earn much more money when the games exceeds superfast...

Ella.. LOL

@Ella: this is the way that PoolStars go - to make pool very easy, but i dont know if this helps to get more people here

I want to say simple thing which is poolstars are right at their place. i know pool must be played without cheating but when we play it in real with real human not opponents on computers and game on pc. so whoever want to use such facilities. the main aim is to win and put others back.

If you think you can do good with aiming lines then show me by winning continous matches ok.
