That is unexpected... Especially since Sky is 35 points above Tony on Fargo.

Just what the odds predict.

There were huge cracks too. That college professor had managed to damned near blow one side off of the engine block and keep driving. I wouldn't have thought it would run but it started easily when he came for it. Two or three rods had to be broken, perhaps a chunk of rod and piston had migrated. I don't know. One of those engines that I would have been curious to pull down just to see the damage but I didn't get the chance to. I have seen more damage to a racing engine but that is the most I ever saw in a street engine. Happened at pretty low RPM too.

When I was a young man, just out of the Corps, my dad was a general contractor with construction contracts with the military for San Nicolas island, a california coastal island. I was running parts for him from Riverside to Point Mugu to have them flown out to the island and on my way up the grape vine, my s10 pickup ran out of oil and put a dollar size hole in the engine block, it made it all the way up the grape vine and was still running when I pulled into a gas station. It kept running until I turned it off but then it locked up and wouldn't turn over again.

It depends when you play. There are special deals in non-peak hours. For example, if I drop by on a weekday afternoon with a friend and we play from 11am -5pm, it costs about $60 in total, which comes to $5 per player per hour. Yes, in peak hours, you pay a premium price and get a premium product in one of the best neighborhoods New York City has to offer. Amsterdam Billiards is, for my money, the best poolroom in which I have ever played in America.

With over 750 of them, Amsterdam is the go-to pool room for league players. It's also a mandatory stop for any pool enthusiast visiting New York City.

It sounds like the reality is though, it's more of a night out and not a place for people go to just play pool and hang out. Fact is it sounds just too expensive. When I used to run around playing pool I've been actually in hundreds of pool rooms all over the country mostly the East Coast.

I've been in a lot of really nice pool rooms and they didn't have to be palaces or even very big. They could be a small 12 table place with a service bar some good tables and good lighting and you knew you were in a pool room where people played pool.

I remember being in a pool room I think it was in South Carolina maybe North Carolina. This place was like walking back in time. I ended up spending a whole day there and I got talking with this black guy who worked there.

He had like a little tobacco stand and it was also a shoe shine stand but I doubt anybody had shined shoes in a long time. This guy was interesting. He told me the only job he ever had was working in that pool room except when he went to the war a couple years.

I wish they had cell phone cameras back in those days because some of the places I was in were great.

Chris (cue smith) carries them now. I’ve bought several from Roman at this site:

Okay, your turn to "prove" something. Show me a recent video of Tony Chohan beating a 796 FR player in any rotation game, on any table. I'll wait.

We've decided to explore selling it - if anyone is local to Denver (or willing to have it moved from here) and interested in purchasing the table and all accessories (two sets of Belgian pool balls, cues, racks, etc.) please be in touch here. Not yet ready to mess around with putting it on Facebook Marketplace.
