Maryland 2010 14.1 Straight Pool Championships

The equipment at big daddys have been in good condition when I have played there...the owners of bid daddys make you feel really welcome to be there and are very knowledgeable about pool compared to alot of poolrooms that have no clue...I look forward to all challengers... so you better win the lag or else its over.

Bobby Chamberlain

I am gonna agree with Bobby. The Molineros are not there to sell alcohol of food, they are there for pool because they love the game. Did I mention that you can find anything between a barbox/ Snooker table there (yes, 10' heated euro billiard too). I can't think of any other place around here that offers as much pool.

Go get um, Bobby!!
 
why ... I have personally watched this "business" man price a cue at 3 times the price that the actual owner asked him to sell it for...

Sounds right, guy wants $200, seller asks $600, buyer offers $300, gets it 'today only'. It is the American Dream.
 
why are you jumping into this conversation Steve? It has nothing to do with you. If pricing canned sodas at $1.50 (or maybe higher now) is honest business, than you're right. If paying $7.00 for a homemade tuna sandwich is honest, then you're right. I have personally watched this "business" man price a cue at 3 times the price that the actual owner asked him to sell it for.....so that he could pocket more profit than the owner, and more profit than the cue was actually worth. If thats honest, then you're right. I know more about the way he runs his busines than you may think I do. Im not basing anythin on assumptions, rumors, or false information. Im speaking the truth, and its striking a nerve with a few people because he is generally friendly with most people. You can defend him or his business all you want, thats your right. Just dont make the mistake of thinking that Im simply out to bash him or his business. Im out to make people aware. If you dont like it, dont read my posts. The world i an ugly place, but it needs truth-tellers as much as it needs anything else. Most people that know me will tell you that I will pull anyones card when they are wrong, as I would expect them to do the same to me. If you dont people like that, that's unfortunate. have a nice day

You posted a public complaint and then tell me I have no business responding. Huh?

Btw, on the food/soda issue, smart business people do not charge their cost + a miniscule profit for something they can't sell in huge volumes. Do you think it makes sense for the staff to charge a quarter profit on a tuna sandwich that they have to MAKE, and that they'll only sell maybe 5 or 10 of a day? Would you go to the supermarket, buy all the supplies, then go through the trouble of making all the sandwiches if you could only make $5 on a day on it all? Even $10?

Thanks to Steve, Rich, Bob and everyone!!

It is always a pleasure watching you play 14.1 and we look forward to you playing again this year. And thanks for putting Prettyboy in his place!!:thumbup:
 
Im done going back and forth, its pretty childish and has gone on far enough, for me. My beliefs will remain the same, just like yours will, nothing is going to change and this seems pointless. @Levi - every dog does have its day

Just think of what he would have said if he saw you recovering the tables with your shirt off...:)

So if you're a regular who are you anyway/
 
that sounds like fun and a good warm for the wisconsin Open state championships!

If I can find time I may come out for some straight shootin 14/1. It would be a good warm up for the Wisconsin Pocket Billiards State Championship for me. I may even see some old friends.:thumbup: big props to the rooms putting on nice tournaments.
 
I don't know what your problem is but I play at Big Daddy's a couple of times each week and the equipment is fine. They have a mix of Gold Crowns and Diamonds and all are in good shape. As in any pool room, there is some wear and tear on the tables but I'm sure they will all be in top notch condition for the tournament.

There is no such thing as a poolroom with perfect tables. Well, there was one in Manhattan (Ameterdam Billiards) but they charged between $10-18 per hour per person. The place had more than 30 new Brunswick Gold Crown 9' tables and was generally packed with a waiting list. Prime equipment costs a lot to maintain.

LMAO!!! how did Mike Davis get two entries?? That really is a strong field. There are some names on there that arent really key players though. at least not 14.1 players, they may be really good in other games though. I like the line-up alot...looks to me like Rick's dumb ass wont even come close to the money with that many champions in there lol. I think I'll root for Shaun, Ed, Brian, Andy, or any other "Marylanders", even though theres a few world champions in the field. Good luck to all of you....except Rick, I hope he trips and knocks his teeth out on the corner of table 12 LMAO.

Comments like these are for the action room where woofing and shit talking happen daily.Very uncool whoever you are and im sure others will say the same.Its a good thing for me you dont have a problem with me as i give you the award for being the ultimate basher.Also on the other hand though its very good for you that you dont find a problem with me as everyone that knows me knows what I say I back up and I would take care of you.What have you accomplished by your statements just ask yourself.Are you the one that is friends with easy-e?If so I hope eric reads your post before you decide to erase your comments.

Bobby, don't waste your time on this guy. He just doesn't seem to understand what an ass he is making of himself with all of his bashing.
 
Why don't you step up from all of the BS and play in the event yourself? I will even bring a cooler of sodas and tunafish sandwiches so your cheap ass does not have to buy lunch. To me it would be worth it to watch you get barbecued, and then go off after a loss blaming the equipment.

I'll take $10 of his entry...and bet another 10 he doesn't beat Rick in the event!
