Greetings and Salutations!
Welcome to Jane’s house! In this house, we are polite, respectful and expect to have some good clean fun. I’ve come across some interesting folks and fantastic shots on this Pool-adventure and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon.
I felt the world needed a better resource for poolplayers and poolaholics everywhere.
Pool is one of those sports (and yes it is a sport!) that unless you are there, it’s tough to show someone how it went down. No amount of explaining or drawing on napkins really does the shot you just made justice. They just won’t get it…Maybe if they play and if you can explain it right, they will get an idea of how amazing your shot was…but more often than not you get a lot of “un-huhs” and polite nods. With technology today, I’m pleased to present some of the finest shots in pool by some of the most inspiring players around the country and in the world.
On this site you will find highlights of players, tournament schedules, product reviews, Opinions about Pool and anything and everything I get a notion for. I encourage you to explore the videos, watch the players, learn some new shots — if you’ve never seen it, how likely is it you’re going to remember it in the middle of a game? Engage, make comments, play in tournaments, sponsor players and grow the sport.
So as I started with, Welcome to Jane’s house. #wehavefunhere. It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about playing the game. Once upon a time I was a minnow too, and with hours of practice, an open mind and some very patient friends, I’ve started to swim with Sharks. I have long since started a torrid love affair with this often unpredictable game and through the ups and downs, wins and losses, perfect shape and JaneShape shots and the end is no where near. We will not go softly into that goodnight – we will rage, rage against the light!.
XoX,
Jane
This was the shot. We took a time out. I did not like it but I didnβt have a better option. I tried to hit it the way Aaron Hara told me to. It was the shot for the BNR.
How fun π

RACK ATTACK went undefeated today to get into the redraw final 8 tomorrow at the Rocky Mountain VNEA Womenβs Tournament!
We play again tomorrow at 6. It has been a blast playing with these gals and making balls all day! The last match was super close, they made a tough push at the end and made some phenomenal outs including a kicked in 8ball. πͺπ» But we won only by the 4 handicap points they gave us. Woohoo for the handicap! π€£
1 BNRβ¦ itβs not nothin.
We are ready for day 2! Letβs get em Ladies!
This format you play round Robin, and every break you get can literally make or break the match.
I love my BK Rush from @predatorcues It does so much of the work πͺπ»

9 Break n Runs
4 Table Runs
1 Shut out
2 Losses (1 before the redraw and 1 after)
2 days
1 great weekend of pool with 1 of my fav players
= priceless!
βPom Starsβ won the 12th Annual Bev Walker & Jerrold Harris Jack & Jill Scotch Doubles Tournament at the VFW 1881 in #Cheyenne, #Wyoming π€
We lost our first match and ripped through the left side of the bracket to get to the Top 8 and Redraw. We won the Hotseat match and lost the first round of the finals double hill.
πππ
The final set we won 6-1, and it was a pleasure to play with Pom this weekend. Thank you for being my partner! π
So many incredible outs and smart safeties, lots of waiting and tons of pressure to compete with a field of super tough teams.
Iβm thrilled, home and exhausted. ππ»
Thank you to my friends and family for the support and words of encouragement π
Thanks to the VFW 1881 for hosting and toasting to Bev Walker and Jerrold Harris and honoring their memory and raising money for the Make a Wish foundation. π
Shout out to @predatorcues for the very best cues - 9BNR isnβt possible without an outstanding break - and for helping to make this an exciting and lucrative weekend. π€

3 Table Runs π€π€π€
1 Shutout
16 hours of pool π°οΈ
Lost our first match (stupid morning pool) β¦ and sent folks home all day
#leftsidekillers π€ ππ»
Made the Top 8 for the Calcutta & Redraw
Currently 2 deep on the winners side of the redraw, playing for the hotseat in the morning and guaranteed third πͺπ»
Pom is super fun to play with and came with some big shots and fantastic plans. We had our share of miscues and mishaps, but we pulled out a pretty phenomenal performance for the day π
Thanks to the VFW in Cheyenne for hosting a wonderful day of pool π€
And thanks, as always, to my sponsor, #PredatorCues my Throne 3-1 and BK RUSH are reliable and feel great under pressure. My breaks were pretty darn good today, and definitely helped get to SEVEN BNRs.
I donβt think Iβve ever done that before in any Scotch Tourneyβ¦ I liked it - a lot - and it all starts with a good break.

I love this set up!
My @predatorcues Apex Table plays great, and the #LittmanLight is perfect. The light is never in my eyes and beams straight down onto the table. We got the idea from #griffslasvegas, which imo is the best poolhall in the country! π±
This is my #temple. This is where we put in work πͺπ». This is my favorite place to #zen out and #chill.
Every table plays a little different, every pattern requires different #skills - and the #knowledge of when to do what. #vision #execution

got to the table early and kicked off some other people trying to practice, my opponent who well outranked me, came up early too, saw who he was playing and decided he didnβt need practice and let me have the table. π
He and his friends came back before game time, lots of friendly Spanish and jovial attitude. He didnβt speak English. So he got his friend to ask me if he could have the break because he was giving me such a big spot.
He said the tourney dir said thatβs how it is.
I told him to go get the tourney dir to confirm it or flip. ππ»
We flipped. He won. π€
I made 3 crazy early 10s. π₯π₯π₯
I had a jump, that was intended to combo. Called the 10. But instead the cue ball hit the one and caromed perfectly into the 10. He broke, left a close cut on the 1, but the 10 hanging in the pocket. Nailed it. Iβm on the hill.
I broke dry, he played safe, I couldnβt see the 1 under the stack. Through a bunch of balls from the middle of the table, I 2-rail kicked the 1-10 into the side. It flew in the pocket and I shook his hand as he picked his jaw up off the floor. π
I walked back after dropping the scoresheet, he was re-enacting some unbelievable shots to his friend π

My first match was against the runner up from last year - on the stream!
She was an excellent shot, and made me work. I was nervous, and freezing, but tried my best despite not being able to feel my fingers. Came up short, but this was my best shot of the match. πππ
I love banks and this one felt reallllly good! My @predatorcues #THRONE is so smooth and works well under pressure! π as always, thank you to my #Predatorcues sponsor for the equipment. Never ceases to amaze me. π
