Don't we already have one ? I always figured that road player stories belonged in the pool history sub-forum . They're certainly the history of this game in the US . . . .:smile:

"What's my shot ?" Early Times , straight up . You buyin' ? :confused:

how good is good enough ? Johnny , in all the years I've been ding this , I've only ever set one goal for myself- be better than my opponent . Sometimes it works , sometimes it don't - but thats always my goal- beat the guy standing on the other side of the table. Don't worry about the...

Remember the good times . . . . No , Bonni , its absolutely the right decision . Occupy your time with the things in life that bring you joy - don't allow grief to swallow you up and take over . Don't mourn her death - celebrate her life ! Good luck tonight - try to get back to 50% pool !

I'll jump you on #1 - I'd say there are many more than 50 - you just seldom see them in the same place at the same time , because the financial rewards really aren't there to devote all their time to chasing tournaments .

hand /eye coordination , depth perception , physical prowess ~ its as much a sport as pool . . . .:D

walk into LOWES . Go to the lighting department , and grab an associate . walk them out of the lighting department to anywhere else . Point up , and say "me want dat" Their whole store is lit up with 8' florescent fixtures 8 bulbs wide. use cool whites - with that many , daylights will blind you !

it's all about return on investment . . . . I don't know if there are more Equestrians than pool players , but I do know this : per capita , they spend way more than pool players~ you can have the nicest cue in the world , but it doesn't eat , go to the vet , need shoes or shots . . . . . ...

hustlin' . . . .? It's kinda like fishing - you gotta throw out some bait if you expect to get any bites . . . . . . .;)

you broke the cardinal rule ! Man , Jay , I'da thought you knew better ! Never play against anyone named after a playing card (Ace , Deuce , King) or a city (Minnesota , Buffalo , NORMAN ) . . . . . . :cool:

didn't even know I was doin' it ! might not have if I did . . . First time I ever played a pro , I didn't even know I was doing it . This was sometime in the late 70' , early 80's. . . . In High School , I was devoted to the big 9' furniture table in our basement - spent all my spare time on...

Years ago , my pool mentor told me "don't show your whole game on the practice table" . The measles do exactly that :D That's why I love to watch these guys play with them !

Nope , young 'un LOVE pool ! The table at our local Boys & Girls club is in CONSTANT use , with young 'uns always waiting for "next":thumbup:

Heck , yes , I'm a racist ! I watch RACIN' every chance I get ! NHRA , IHRA , NASCAR , SCCA , NHDRA . . . . any time there's a race , I'll watch it ! I'm a huge racist !:grin-square:

I'm so damn spoiled ! Wow ! 4 barboxes is a poolroom ? In Daytona that's a bar . . . I'm suddenly embaressed by the plethora of GC's & 9' Robertson's I have access to . . . . But the murderous , cutthroat attitude ? Nah , that's a Yankee thing . . . . . :D

a review of the facts . . . . Actually , neither the size of the tip or the curvature (nickle , dime , etc) effects the size of the contact patch on the cueball . Several years ago a study was made on this subject . results can be accessed below : http://www.sfbilliards.com/jax_bd150.pdf

Don't worry - I won't look like a robot . . . . I've used the same pre-shot routine for years - never varies a bit , but I PROMISE I don't look like a robot . 1) take a hearty swallow of Early Times . 2) stagger up to the table 3) gesture wildly in the air with my cue in the general...
