actually I think that the air barrell actually hurt the game
almost as much as tournament pool
people don't like 9 ball tournaments because 9 ball is nasty
and tournaments are lilly white sorta sissy
why would anyone want to watch people that don't bet
their own money
next to the Mosconi cup ,where people go out of the way to make
the game into a team sport and actually think it is patriotic
to support a bunch of brokes that never will beat the Philipinos
without matching up and instead they play even
this puts too much emphasis on playing pool and not enough on
matching up.What kinda fun is that?
Everyone knows that pool halls are more fun without trying
to make them so sanitary and clean cut,Guys like that never lose big money
Until we can attract the bookies ,thieves,dope dealers andpimps back to the game
it will be almost impossible to win big money
At least that is the way i remember the game
Also league competition takes too much money away from the action players by letting
funsy players to actually think they are competing
Other than these major obstackles,everything is great with the game today
