    Best People To Gamble With In Your State.

    (IMHO) - In Missouri - There is only one choice. As I've said before - If you can't get a square Pool Gamble w/ Terry H., You need to find a new game to gamble on. I personally have seen (more than you could imigine), Terry quit a game because he realized he had the nuts. He told the oponents...

    Pool Dreams?

    Dreams of anything you do all day are natural. I would have pool dreams if I played pool all day or night. When I got into Hi$ Gin Rummy, I would dream of Gin hands. TY & GL, OHB

    lucasi, pros-cons

    I love my Lucasi. I've been playing with a lucasi since Buddy was endorsing them and asked me to try a few shots I was hooked and found a $175 New Lucasi on Ebay. I got it for $89. It plays and hits as well as any cue I've played with. TY & GL, OHB

    Question for Pool Hall Owner/Operators

    How to do this.. Without Booze and Food - You have NO chance. Next - Figure out how much it will cost to open the doors and operate it for 1 year with NO income. Then triple that and don't think any further if you don't have at least that much. Next - Find the best Bar/ Restaurant manager you...

    Who here has "hustled" or made a living on the road?

    It was quite a good & exciting life - Thanks You! I was literally "Foot Loose & Fancy Free" & "On The Road" for over 25 years. The Day my wife said we were going to have a child - IT ENDED RIGHT THEN. Please don't worry about my SS, IRA's, R.E. Investments or stock portfolio. Since I started...

    Who here has "hustled" or made a living on the road?

    Hustling Pool (the right way) is OVER for ever. I don't have the time, energy or inclination to go over my life of pool in the late '60's,'70's & '80's. I've been there & done that - Here. But I will tell you it came down to the Hustle much more than the playing. Playing pool is a talent - but...

    Best Action City of All Time

    Now Grady - Think about it............. I know exactly what you’re saying (and agree) as far as action - BUT - You & I both know why nobody got robbed. 1st - The FBI was usually parked across the street in that light blue van (in the Stanly Steemer parking lot). 2nd - Getting the cash and...
