Was pool better 50 years ago?

That's why I don't understand why everybody hates pool hall junkies - it was way more representative of poolrooms in my area growing up. Something always going on, guys jumping(playing) on anybody walking in the door looking for action, ring games, Kelly pool, 9 ball on a snooker table, nonstop full rack banks, etc. Even if it was just for the time, everybody was doing something

Fedor Gorst - looking for action in Louisville, KY tomorrow. If you could - would you?

I played Sky a set of bar table 8 ball - race to 7 for $100.00 a few years ago when he was in town for the Big Tyme Classic - he torched me and then afterwards gave me some great tips/advice - well worth it. If I was in KY, I'd pay Fedor several $100.00 sets for the same experience - if you're a golfer, it's like the equivalent of a round with Tiger at his prime for $100.00. If I find a pro who wants to match up like that and agrees beforehand that when the set is done, he'll talk to me about what I need to work on and spend 15-20 min with me talking through my errors, I'm in every time.
No offense, but Fedor and Sky are 2 WAYYYYYY different people. To Fedor it's a business transaction, to Sky he is like, here is what I saw you did wrong and I look forward to another game after you work on things a bit.

I see Ray has this year's event on his calendar as May 19-24. Starting to plan spring vacation time at work, taking a pass on Derby and hope to attend this. Have they had any talk about the Matchroom UK Open starts immediately after this? Will some of these top guys take a pass on the event? Too bad they don't shift that 1 Ball 1 Pocket thing and start the 1P a day earlier and finish up on the Saturday instead. Always eat well in NOLA!
