    How much money should a Player spend in his home room each week?

    I wasn't aware that I had to adequately support my local pool room (SB&G), but in my case I spend about six to seven bucks a week on table time, and about that much again in tips to the girls. We get free pool if we buy lunch, and usually a couple of the guys will eat so that makes life pretty...

    An open conversation on what pool in North America needs and can support.

    I am no expert here, and in reading some of the posts here, neither is anyone else, but it seems a common sense approach to the matter is needed. Take the best parts of the WPBA, for instance, and use that as a start point. Throw out the parts that didn't work. Establish a board of directors...

    Lucky or intentional?

    The question was: Did he get lucky, or was it intentional? My answer is: He intentionally took the shot and was lucky enough to have made it. Bear in mind that Efren is going to get lucky way more times than you, and I. :smile:

    Way to go, Lou. Anyone who can accumulate that many posts has got to be windier than a sack full of assholes. :thumbup: Congratulations. Keep up the good fight for One Pocket. :smile:

    Can pool players benefit by crossing-over to 3-cushion billiards?

    So. After three pages of how beneficial 3-cushion would be to your game, how many of you folks out there in radio land have access to a table? In my fair city there isn't one to be found. :)

    What are you thinking?

    Funny you should mention that. Yesterday, while playing One Pocket with the boys, I bent down to have a go at a pesky little three-railer, when all of a sudden I remembered that I had forgot to let the cat out, at home. Then I remembered I didn't have a cat. What a relief. :smile:

    Photographic evidence of my very first game

    Did you know the Hollies recorded a song called 'Carrie Ann'? Is that you? Great memories. Thanks for sharing them, and do you know who the luckiest person in the photo is? It's your Dad. For having such fine young lady to play pool with. I envy him. :thumbup2:

    New: Pro Series (Billiard Glasses By Curran Opticians)

    Ain't it the truth. They censored me, and a couple of others on this thread. Regardless of what's been said, pimping products on the main forum should not be permitted, IMHO.

    Correctional Officers to Open a Pool Room

    Here's something you may not have thought of. Correctional Officers spend a third of their lives in prison. :smile:

    why is it so hard to be left alone in a pool room.

    I don't find it hard to be left alone in the poolroom. :)

    Pool story

    I know whereof you speak. Nam was just getting started good and all the branches of service were needing all the warm bodies they could get. The Navy, being no exception was paying six for six. A six thousand dollar reenlistment bonus for six more years of service. A cousin of a friend of mine...

    Pool story

    Please standby by for an old guy story. Back in the late Sixties I was in the Navy stationed aboard an old amphibious ship named the USS Talbot County, LST 1153. Me and a shipmate had inherited a 1966 Triumph Bonneville from a guy who had gone AWOL, which we all know is absent without letting...

    Can pool players benefit by crossing-over to 3-cushion billiards?

    I agree with my good friend here regarding three-cushion play being beneficial, but I can't figure out why he has a severed penis in his avatar picture. :smile:

    At what point is a celbration of a pool win out of line in your opinion?

    I think it would depend on how big the win was, and how much the winner is willing to spend. Drinks on the house, free cigars, a three-piece band, lap dances for everybody. The sky's the limit, I guess. :smile:
