small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

Went there *many* times while my Mom was still alive living there.

Played One Pocket Richie there. Don't recall a kiddie table but would often play 3C there on the back tables.

To the best of my recollection, the pockets were tight but not 4".

Lou Figueroa
I don't recall seeing you in that room.

I do remember scuttle butt about you dodging a game with Wayne back in the day.......

small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

One thing I have learned over the years is that nothing stays the same.

I have been to pool halls that had 4.5" pockets, only to come back and find smaller pockets. Gone to other rooms filled with nice GCs and find half the room is GCs and the other half Diamonds.

IOWs, thngs change. When went to HOB I did not encounter any 4" pockets.

Don't know about Aloha, Ibertad, Crenshaw, Alhambra, or Sherman Oaks. In any case, people do stupid shit and ruin the game -- enjoy if you can.

Lou Figueroa
If you played at SMHB on the first three tables in front of the gallery 11,12 and 13 you were playing on 4 inch pockets.

Ernesto has tightened the pockets on tables all over S. Cali.

Tight pockets in one pocket is the norm in S. Cali although action is dying.

Crenshaw has very tight tables for one pocket.

Sherman Oaks has tight pockets.

MAYBE SLOW PLAYERS WILL GET THE MESSAGE

People who play slow when it seems there is nothing to be really contemplating probably do it in other areas of their lives. They are procrastinators. It's who they are. I'm not sure they can change.
Also, if they are good players and have found success in their slow play I would not expect them to change.
Many people don't trust their own instincts and constantly reexamine everything. They fear making mistakes. Lots of reasons and not all they need to be condemned for.
I would not take it personal.
