Action week at Society Billiards

Last week we said hello and goodbye to shark week. This week we say hello to action week at Society Billiards. I still miss shark week though.

I showed up last night at 9:30 to thier normal crowd. In the matter of an hour the tide turned and washed in the players, gamblers and thieves. They could smell the money. With the weekly Master's tournament on Mondays, I knew the turnout would be low. Nonetheless, it wasn't bad at all. Just not as many killers in the house.

Dippy spent the first hour or so at the bar getting tuned up then he got in a one pocket game. Don't know the player, game or outcome, I was in action myself and we don't need to report that outcome.

By the time that game ended, the place was jumping like I havnt seen it.

Dippy got his next game with Rob Pole (good local player) $200/rack 9ball with one of dippy's "why can't I get that" spots. Including the rail, dippy was playing about $600/800 a rack. (thanks for closing your window in me). Not long til rob made a few bucks and they quit. That should be continued later in the week.

Now it's about 3:30am and dippy gets in a $1k/rack game with*Nick Schulman. Don't know spot but Dippy was down about 8 or 9k when I left.

I'm now on my way to work with 3 hours of sleep and slightly larger lunch budget than yesterday.

I'll be there the next two nights and will try to follow what happens and not make more bad games for myself.

Dippy is trying to help the local NY economy. It is good to see him doing what he can to bring a lttile sunshine everyhere he goes.

Tip to NYC: Postup and pay as you go and do NOT buying any vehicles unless you get the paerwork at the same time.
 
Is this one of Society's newest promotions? Action Week? As long as it gets people through the doors, it sounds like it could be good for business ;)
 
Personally, i don't think Shark Week is over.
I just think it switched locations from say the AIR SHARK episode on Seal Island South Africa, to the LAND SHARK episode via NYC.

If Dippy is in town, there will be plenty of them circling around hoping for a feeding frenzy. Just the mere mention of decent action is going to "chum the waters" so to speak.

Yep, I expect some big guns to come out in the next couple days.
 
What was the spot Rob was giving or getting from Dippy? How'd that end up? Nicky the kid is playing pool again ro just goofing around?

Thanks for the roving action reports, Cleary. Us working stiffs appreciate it! It's a shame that it's in my backyard and I can't get over there.


Eric >some ppl have all the fun

Break, ball in hand and the 5 ball. Dippy held his own and was a tough spot for Rob. The swapped games but Rob still came out pretty good.

The 6 ball would have been more fair despite the end result.

Nick was just messing around.

Yea, I got home at 5am, woke up at 8am for work... Its just too fun to turn down.

Wish you could come at least hang for an hour or two...

I'm leaving town Thursday so I only got two more days of the fun.

Same here. I have family coming to visit starting Wed. Besides, I would have to get my liver in shape to hang with you. I remember you putting down a Godzilla sized Jello shot to just get warmed up (I have the pic to prove it too).
