How many hours do you think you've spent actually at the table playing pool?

Dang, I was only 9 years old in '95. You've been playing a lot longer than I could ever imagine.
Im always looking for a spot, but sometimes I'm stupid enough to give one.....or two.

That averages 5 1/3 hour per day, 37.45 hours per week playing pool.
Spending 16 hours per day in poolrooms & Pubs for 19 years?!?
If I had a dollar for every hour playing pool since I started, I could buy a NEW PROSCHE 911
Yes that's about right I usually go to the pool room when I wake up and sometimes I don't leave until the next day
Interesting study for a forensic psychiatrist: what might be the predictable effect of 37,000 hours of obsessively inhaled chalk dust continually entering the bloodstream then flowing thru the brain for 19 years?
Is there a shrink in the house?

Oh, I don't think we need one for this. I do believe we've all figured this one out. And besides, this case would drive a shrink to drinking...
I've only been playing for three years, so I figure I've got about 2,190 hours of pool-playing under my belt.
The good news is that according to AZBilliards, I become an expert at either 10,000 hours or 1,000,000 balls (whichever comes first).
So I only need 10 years/8 months (by hours required) or 881,740 more balls (which might take me another 22 years; I'm a slow player) until I turn pro.
So, I'll be ready to turn pro when I'm either 72 or 83 years old.
Watch out!

pool table
Grandfather bought me a table when I was 6 or 7 years old that would of been. in 1962.
I was master at arms of the chief/ wave barracks in San Diego when I was in the Navy.
they had a 9ft gold crown in the back room.
All together maybe 5 or 6 hrs total you guys will have to take it easy on me
Im still a pup

You ran 5??? OK, that's it, I am not giving you the 5 any more.

If I don't get the 5, you don't get the 6 and the racks!
Let's compromise. Short rack banks. I'll let you play even, too.
I might be able to buy us both one LOL
Hmmm ... let me think ? I started playing daily in 1949 on the 5x10 Kling
in our parlor. During 8 yrs. as a Navy Flyer, I played at least 8 hrs. daily
unless on extended flights. Throw in all the night-time 14.1 Tournaments,
weekend Tournaments, Cash Games, etc. I reckon I've spent about 2.5
Bizillion hrs. on the table + or - a half billion. .... Or Not.

ST8poolplayer started when I was two years old. I didn't start till 1962. I put in a few hours back then. Still can shoot a little.

You can get a spot at most pool supply stores. They generally come in a little round tin can.
I thought spot got ran over while he was playing in the street.
