I like Center Pocket and most often choose that room to play in when I can find time to play at all. My only serious complaint is the concrete floors - not great if a stick gets dropped or knocked over. But people are nice and tables are in pretty good shape. FMP sounded promising, but then I...

Does anybody know of an individuals / singles league in the Annapolis, MD area? I would also consider a team-based league providing lots of games/reps in a given night. I am not interested in APA, TAP, or similar systems because of the overhead for stats tracking and small number of games - and...

Very cool to have players like Jayson Shaw around. The nearest I have played to US1 Billiards was in East Haven years ago. I had also played at a place on Berlin Tpke decades ago, but I have no idea what it was called. It was a large room with 9 ft. tables, but that's all I can remember...

Thanks, yeah. I saw a number on Google, but am hoping for first-hand perspectives.

Nice. I saw them online and it looked favorable, but I wasn't really sure how anything is doing in the COVID era since that would seem to impact pool rooms pretty hard - at least early on. I have spent time at Gold Crown in the past down in New London, but I would probably be in the Hartford...

I am planning to relocate to Connecticut this summer. What are the best pool rooms in CT and why? Your input might influence where we choose to live!

It's been a few days and not one comment so I am thinking maybe this section isn't widely viewed. I am gonna post up on the Main forum and see what happens...

Folks, It's been a long time since I posted anything. I am possibly relocating to the Connecticut area this summer and am interested in hearing about the current pool scene in the state (and nearby cross-border rooms as well, I suppose). I would probably be in the Hartford area which is pretty...

Top Hat's Pretty Good I don't know of any rooms between the greater Baltimore and Philly metro areas. But there is a pool room just barely north of Baltimore , right off the beltway, called Top Hat. It's a pretty nice room which has Gold Crowns instead of Diamonds. 8809 Satyr Hill Rd...

Cathy, condolences on Rich's passing. He was a gentleman pool player and the game in these parts won't be the same without him around. And to my old team-mate, we shared many APA matches, but I will never forget the straight pool. I'll also miss sharing a rail at the SBE and the Maryland 14.1...

Payouts were as follows... 1: $4000 2: $3000 3-4: $1800 5-8: $800 9-16: $400 Total Purse: $17000 Hopefully next year we can hit a $20,000 purse.

Archer beat Schmitt by 150 - 74.

I am so happy you enjoyed yourself. It was a great tournament again this year. I can think of a few minor things that may improve it next summer, but overall I was pretty happy with it. Peter, Dave, and the room (Rick & Cindy) all work really hard to bring it together and they deserve a lot of...

Good tip Oh, thanks for the tip. That sounds like a good time. I haven't seen any tournaments in Ottawa at all, so if there's one in Gatineau that's just as good. Pro and Semi-pro calibre? That's awesome. I'll get my brains beat in, but it's much better than not playing anyone who can shoot...

Sent you a private message the other day, but haven't heard back yet. In case you check here...yeah, that sounds fun. I wouldn't mind seeing what Gatineau has to offer for pool rooms, either.
