And of course Shooters in Olathe is great. I'm in Missouri so I don't get out that way much. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

For a big table only old school room with GCs, go to Raytown Rec. Tables are well taken care of. Lots of bars with well taken care of bar tables out toward independence/blue springs. You have Side Pockets/Brass Rail which are sports bars/poolhall combos with overpriced food and drink. They are...

Ordered this cue through cue and case and through a long story I'm not going to play with it and don't want it. It is paid for at the store I ordered from waiting to be picked up. http://www.cueandcase.com/supplies/jsm-60.html It's 21 oz I paid $375 for it. I can have it returned and get a...

That would explain it. Thanks.

That link is playing English 8 ball world championships.

Yep, I'm 25 and have the same feelings. I love pool partly because of its history and the atmosphere of the wild west found in the pool room. But if pro pool wants 20 and 30 somethings to watch, they've got to reach them in the leagues. For every 1 of my peers that's obsessed with pool, there...

I'm going to guess 562.4 grams

I prefer to gamble with my friends over just about anyone, but that's because we have done it for so long without any incident. Plus it's normally friendly. Race to 3 for the next pitcher type of stuff. If you have a weakness for gambling, then gambling with anyone is probably a bad idea but...

That's a great point. I don't like guys that ask for any kind of weight honestly. If you need the 6 or 7 out to play me, find someone else to play that's closer to your speed. I guess that's where I agree with calling someone a nit. I won't even bother. I'd rather play 8 ball for cocktails with...

Thanks for that post JB. I think I have a me against the world mentality so I've had to learn a lot of the lessons the hard way. I appreciate that post because it validates that I have the right mindset. I used to have doubts if I was dumb or what. Now I'm five times better and just as...

I have never played played one match, won, and quit. I've never played one match, lost, and quit either. I'm getting to more of an advanced level of play and can play with and beat guys who used to say the ol cliché "nit" lines to me because I would lose 40$ in 5-1 5-0 and quit. To me...

What is this "etiquette" you speak of? We are talking about illegal (in most cases) under the table gambling. Are we really supposed to abide by some sacred honor amongst thieves bullshit that allows hustling and dishonesty to be okay? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I have a question for you 'follow the code' guys: Where does it end? At what point is it okay to quit if you didn't lay it out ahead of time? Am I supposed to let you determine what I do with my money (and time) just because it was yours a short while ago? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using...

For me it really depends on the situation. If I'm in a pool room with players I know and respect, I follow the unwritten rules of pool action. I'll give them a chance at their money and I expect the same unless agreed upon prior. However if I'm at a bar and I get in a game and win a few and...

I don't think you are a "real odd ball". That being said, I'm the opposite of you. I love to match up and playing for fun with people I like or $/tournaments with whoever. Mostly I just enjoy playing the game and getting better. I love the fact that pool is a test of "me vs them". Not "us" vs...
