There is still a lot of Stigma attached to owning and attempting to get licensed for a pool room. It exists in the minds of city council members everywhere. You have to deal with those realities and not try to fight them. Your presentations have to address those concerns because they are real. In my city, you have to be a minimum of 500 yards away from middle and senior high schools as well as churches to even apply for a license. That's reality and you have to have a business plan to address it. But, massage parlors don't have to worry they get licensed immediately. That's California................

I leave it and yes, if a ball rolls over it slowly, it will change the path.

I also like to leave a break pad or 3 on the table too. They are a wild card- hazards- and are the source of both laughs and tears

That's why nothing ever bothers the Filipinos when they are playing. They are used to playing with distractions all around them - People walking around the table when they're shooting, yelling out bets while you're getting ready to shoot, having to ask someone to move over so you can get down on the shot (really!) and long waits between games and even shots sometimes while there is some kind of discussion going on. I've seen it all over here and it never fails to amuse me, and there is never one complaint. A few nights ago in Capito's I picked up a cue sitting on the table and hit a ball or two with it. A young Filipino guy comes over and says that's my cue and we have a money game. Lucky for me he was only practicing for the game and it was not a game in progress. His name was Edmar Balboa and he had a pretty big money game with Tomay Bacolod. They both played jam up!
