Im not new to the game but new to actually wanting to be good. don't need to make the pros, with my age and family It probably wouldn't work out anyway. At 19 I was captain of a BCA team for 2 years at a bar called the Turtle. couldn't get the darn drunks to show up. its 20 years later now and I never lost the want to play but was getting tired of playing in the local neighborhood bars it was getting to easy to beat people. I was kind of intimidated by the local rooms so I started looking for bars with better players. Found a local bar with a $5 tournament ,played a few weekends and was asked to be on a APA team. Cant get in till the next season . So I went to a local room to buy a tip for my stick and these two old guys were playing one pocket I had never heard or seen the game played. man that looked like a fun game . started talking to the old guys and they weren't the argent people I thought they would be . I really have a different view on the room . Past there the other night and played with them till 5 in the morning. Got to try some stuff I read on here and worked out pretty good. I just picked up on a free one piece slate and Im going to build me a table. I know I can pick up a table for $100 but I like building crap. Any way that's my story. Ill be asking questions shortly.
