I went to DC in 1975 and about 5 miles from the capital was a little hole in the wall pool room. When you wlaked in, there was about 8-10 tables lined up one by one. In the back was a private room with a 3 cushion table. I doubt it is there now. Anyone now the name of this place?
I agree that it's mental. Have you ever walked away from pool for a few months? For me, when i do return I play so much better and I think it's because I come back fresh and not dreaming of pool all day.
