He doesn't post here. I doubt he'd play you with out a spot. Kirk has been looking for a game. I'm sure he'd figure a game out. I'm sure he'd play you even for some cheap action.($50-$100)

Long story short - I sent an email with the snooker run by Rodney O'Sullivan lately where he asked about a "maximum pot" after the first ball - then proceded to run out. (still think he's a wanker). Anyway - the 'boss' emailed back about how snooker was popular in the 70's and he was 'city champion' in small town USA. :yeah:
I would love to play with him some for 'love of the game'. But I got to thinking about it and might be able to turn it into a charity fundraising exhibition grudge match for fun and frivolity.:idea2:
So I was wondering if I could find a snooker table -- 6x12 preferred, but 5x10 acceptable -- to rent, steal, borrow, and set up for a little change in the daily routine. Mostly for the educational value in showing people a little different game...
I would have to coerce him into the match, but I think it would be fun. The table is the pivitol item -- if that was solved, I think it could come off. Could you reach out to those folks, Jeff?? I probably would know them by casual recognition only.
Anyway - Thought it would be fun and it provides me with an excuse to do something other than work. Plus I don't get to play snooker enough for my tastes...
I'll check....don't hold your breath.
Refresh me...to whom am I speaking?

I just want to play the game more to learn some moves. I have lost twice to Paul so I just want to play for something to improve my game to play Paul again. Anyone have Kirks number?
Well hell, in that case just show up, and any of us will play you:welcome:
If I am not feeling weak tonight I'll play one of you monsters also. You guys do scare me though.
Translation - please jack the bet.
I think you should just stick to your $2 games with Steve...:rotflmao1:
LOL so true. I can find higher action though if I play some bar table 8-Ball or Straight Pool or give up the double nuts or play one of the variety of games I can't win no matter how hard I try. I wanted to shoot myself last time I found myself in some $200 races on the bar table playing 9-Ball, all I could think about was how the hell did I end up on the bar table. I think I won though but I forget.
Jason what would you equate the pick 2 in one pocket to in terms of a ball spot, like 10-6?
I only play him to piss him off cause he has like a 15% winning average against me and it drives him nuts. We used to play $10 or $20 a game though, now its reduced to $2/game. He's definitely a better one pocket player than me though, he just gets pissed when I go for my hole and make the ball.
Bruce do you have any fine oil lotion for my lizard wrap?
I believe so. I will look.
That sounds bad, double entendre or not. :groucho:
Stop listening to Jay-Z songs!!! Besides I would have interpreted as the infamous triple entendre...That's too complex back to Grammer Rock
'I'm get-ting a magic rack for christ-mas'
Frosty and Brucy are sad!
Ho Ho Ho - :joyful:

Mikey, I don't see why we couldn't have rebuys since we aren't doing our wsop thingy anymore. We can take a vote on rebuys. Just a side note Mikey, there's no way in HELL you can win. And yes I will bet it!
Hey Bruce, come to the poker tournament and I will put you in!(with your league payout of course!) Think of it as a free lesson....
If things don't get too crazy at poker, I will be up at Big Dogs for something...Maybe Kirk can play me for the couple benjamins he owes me!
Matt, if you don't find a snooker table on Craigslist for sale, just place a wanted ad for what your looking for.

You can have mine!!! That's how gay they are. Magic Racks are so damn gay I refuse to use them. It'a a fairy tale that a piece of plastic on top of felt makes a perfect rack. They make a gay rack, a really really gay rack. I'm not homophobic but when I even see a magic rack I feel like I got subway touched on the middle of my two butt cheeks. It's very uncomfortable for me.
So yes Matt you can actually have a magic rack from me for the cost of a single drink a 9-Ball and a 9/10-Ball combo rack. If I see you using them I will judge you behind your back and online and never directly to your face for having magic rack 'tendencies'.
You want the rack or not? I might let my female ankle biting ros clot doggy dog play with them.
Of course I can't win you guys assume everyone has aces every hand and AK-suited isn't even good enough to see a flop with. Everyone that checks is not trapping. Everyone who check raises does not have the nuts. There will never be a 3 bet in that game. It's too snug a game so you are right I have no chance to win. It's hard work dragging blinds. No that one bluff every 3 blind levels does not make it action packed. You tell me when the game loosens up and people start playing hands versus the hands just playing themselves and I will come back.
P.S. If Kirk owes you a couple hundred you should have called him Saturday morning, I lost that to him late Friday night. I won it back on Tuesday though so you missed the window.
Is it in good condition? I don't want damaged goods...
Consider it bought - although the way last night went, I doubt I'm out for a while. :sorry:
Take it for what its worth...
It use to just be a calling station game. They would just check/call over and over. A 5x BB preflop raise would get called by 7 people. I've asked Brad for 2 years to make it a better blind structure game. Scrap the 2 decks since half the people there can't handle working with one. Use real poker cards, that aren't dirty and stuck together so you continually see the same cards over and over.
But at the end of the day, its just like my game...He runs his like he wants and i run mine the way i want.
I also asked one time to do a combined deal with his tournament and mine. every 2 weeks ... his place, my place. Keep money back, and use a point system. Then have a end of the session/year tournament. But no one from his game wants to come to mine, lol.
Honestly i don't blame them
--- Stay away from the sharks ! ! !
We haven't had a poker game in a month or more. I should try to set one up i guess.
