    The life of a pro

    Being young isn't everything.... This thread is interesting, but I don't think you HAVE to be YOUNG to chase your dreams. I am a 40 y/o female, works full time, owns a home & a car, no kids, no husband (and no, i'm not ugly either..hehehe). I love my independent lifestyle and I LOVE pool...

    How do you WIN in this situation?

    What would you say is the absolute BEST defense against someone who plays VERY well, you are almost at their level but not quite. Their ego is through the roof, they think they're invincible, they're arrogant and for whatever reason don't like you, think you're weird, don't want you to fit in...

    smoking ban and the effect on poolhalls??

    Hi there, I play on the Westside at the Rack & Roll, they still smoke over there. I've heard a hundred stories on it to, they're still working out the law language, who will enforce it, HOW they'll enforce it, my God...like there's not ENOUGH crime out there they can focus on. Maybe they...

    See Cue Ball Run Four Rails

    Hey, I loved seeing this! I have a "Best of the Best of the Masters" of Snooker dvd that I love watching, it's from back in the 80's when Steve Davis was just a young thing. I also have the very first 147 ever, by Cliff Thorburn that is amazing. VERY COOL! Sure wish Snooker would take off...

    Room Owner Question

    I like the break down you sent, very interesting. It makes me sick that over half of my business will be alcohol. Not exactly the image I'm interested in creating, but what other way is there? It's so sad, anyone you ask, what comes to their mind when someone says the word "pool", except...

    Room Owner Question

    Excellent advice! Thank you! You're so right, I already have 100 know-it-alls who know what I need to do already and I'm only 1/2 considering the idea to open a place! I'd love to take the plunge, but it's a scary step! Does your place offer darts or cornhole? Just thinking in terms of more...

    Room Owner Question

    Great advice to, I'm big on customer relations and I believe it goes a long way with people when you give them your attention and make them feel like they're someone special. I'm trying to identify what my "edge" will be. There is virtually no competition where I live, two places to play, one...

    Room Owner Question

    Thanks for the info......I understand it's not a bunch of tables in a room and *poof* I'm successful, and I realize it's not rocket science either.... but for the beginner business owner and being a female, it sometimes is daunting to think of all the expenses going out and then the worry of...

    Room Owner Question

    What are your biggest money makers? Liquor, Food, Leagues? It's fascinating to me that you open a pool room and the room itself does not generate the bulk of your income, it's all these side items. How do you guys stay in business????????!!!!!
