Pool Time in Sac Town Should be a good one starting tomorrow with $500 added guaranteed for the 1-pocket, and Sunday with $1000 added guaranteed for the 9-Ball. All on freshly recovered tables and the tightened up front room table pockets. How many players were there for June's "First Weekend...

Great response. That 3rd person that shows up may grab a drink, snack, drop a song in the jukebox (unless it's Ames). Getting people in the room sets the atmosphere and get's more people cumming back and calling more friends. JonnyB

WOW That is one hot looking cue! Very well executed flame scheme. Good luck with the sale. JonnyB

That's T-Shirt Material right there, Folks! :lol: JonnyB

Nice Straight Up Beauty! ---Bumparoosky--- JonnyB

Thank you all for explaining your choices and reasons. I need to learn how to think 1-pocket someday and this helps. Good thread. JonnyB.

A small peice of sticky backed sandpaper stuck to a Craftsman flat screwdriver keychain . I rarely use it, but if my tip really gets so it won't stick the chalk, I give it a few light taps and/or scuffs. Though I must be able to live without it, since I lost it a few months back and havn't...

Great looking cue! Free Bump. :thumbup: JonnyB

Hard Times 14.1 I stopped in late got to see a few matches near the end: Winner Side ======== Frank Nordmann over Robert Aldana for the hot seat On the one Loss ============ Eric Harada over Bart Mahoney Eric Harada over Roy Futternick (100 - 96 I think) When I left, Eric Harada was getting...

The "Got Rep?" concept deserves some rep! JonnyB

357 357/500 hit my Sacramento mailbox yesterday. This is one day I was glad to be feeling sick and take a day off work. This is a very good read! All the names from the old tournament charts on the wall of The Jointed Cue came to life through your recap and stories, Jay. Being from...

Break Pot Ideas A place north of Sacramento used to do 2 things to keep their 9-Ball Break pot under $2,000. (There was something to do with avoiding an IRS form if the amount is under $1600 which is $2000 minus 20% that they put back in to seed the next break pot, so $2000 was their magic...

Bussin' it. I've bussed it lots of times to the Sacramento pool halls back when I did all my traveling around the area on a bicycle. Hard Times (Great American back then) is right on the 1 line and the 61 stops right in front of the Jointed Cue. It's probably even easier now with the Light...

The Shirt The Shirt, Play Pool Fool. JonnyB

My Part I did my part with a $50 contribution to the prize fund in exchange for some table time: 2-6, 5-6. I did come back from 0-5 in the last one but let it slip away on a long nearly straight in 6-ball that I tried to follow 2 rails. I played well early in most racks but, as I am known to...

1 More Try. JonnyB

Jointed Cue Yup. I play the B on Monday's and split practice time between there, Sac State Union, and Hard Times, though Hard Times more lately. Look for the tall guy named Jon who repeatedly runs a bunch of balls and then comes up 2 feet short getting shape on the 8, misses the shot when...

202????? Worth a post. JonnyB

I snapped my Mali over my knee after a particularly lazy shot about a year ago. It was more about life/work stress than pool, but the cue paid. The butt was fine and Mueller's made me a great 30" replacement. They also fixed the old shaft which I didn't think would be feasable the way it...

Not so much distance, but some interesting randomness. I was at Fast Eddies in Capitola, CA and saw an errant break shot shatter a beer glass that a passing waitresses was carrying. It was her first week there. What are the odds. JonnyB
