Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

With Bank the Nine, a "pool-playing photographer" presents a terrific blog on the great—and greatly photogenic—game of pool. Reviews and lush images of the best tables in New York jostle with accounts of cueing up in Wichita and failing to in Taos. A real-life Fast Eddie rubs elbows with the silver screen version, while the drama of a biting "shark attack" and the romance of outdoor tables along the Hudson River add to the richly textured portrait of the cinematic game. We lingered over pictures of league players at Sophie's and accounts of a death and a rebirth in Manhattan's family of pool and billiards halls. Though this player-blogger doesn't always receive a warm welcome from guys sinking balls at the ends of strange stairwells, he will, we hope, continue to bank the nine for a long time to come.
