Dave- are you referring to Minnesota Fats or Walter Tevis? If it is Fatty, no question. Just tell anyone that you play pool and they will say something like "That Minnesota Fats is pretty good I hear." There are 2 pool players the world knows. Fatty and "The Black Widow"-- they might not know...

FloridaPoolGal- I'm a former room owner that lost my business due to smoking change. When the law in my town was put into effect I lost 60% of my business overnight. But that was because the surrounding towns allowed smoking. If I was setting up today I would be non-smoking. But it depends what...

Was it my imagination but did Allen post something that he was holding an event in the new Valley Forge Casino. I think it was on facebook. Now I can't find anything. I want to know where to send my entry fees! Bob

You are totally correct deanoc. He can sell his cue any way he wants. And I also agree he won't have much trouble selling the cue. I've bought six cues from AZ (maybe more but these are what I remember off the top of my head) and probably sold as many. I never had to call a single person or...

Sigh....application for a weekend pass DENIED. Apparently I have had too much unsupervised fun lately. Maybe next one. My goal 10 events this coming year. Keep up the good work. Bob

Thank you for your courtesy. I was actually looking for a Callaluca cue. My inquiry was serious. They rarely come on this site. I was looking for a price. Nothing to a buyer is more annoying than someone offering something for sale that you are interested in only to be told "guess how much I...

How about $10...$15 if you have joint protectors. If that isn't the right price, what do you think you would want? Bob ps- what makes this cue any more collectable than the other 100 that are posted here each day?

Good morning! You know I was reading your post with interest. I was thinking of another great investment. This is a can't miss and sooner or later this will come back. As soon as they get the performance drugs out. Someone will come along and people will be breathless to purchase anything about...

We do one tie all tie and you throw in another buck. If a guy ran out of money he will usually be able to finish except if he is an a-ho, then who knows. I think a couple of APA 3's won all of the money last night. I think there were only two 2 rounds last night. Most of the wins were 3, though...

West Point and Mac Guy-- I'll try those. One of the guys was sinking (or just missing) the two back balls in the side pockets. I couldn't figure out what he was doing. I thought I did but it never worked out that way. It was the great equalizer though. The two guys that were winning the most...

So the old timers (like me) at my men's club have discovered three ball. Six, eight even ten guys play. The pots get rather large (at least for a bunch of old barstards) when it gets to the 3rd or 4th round. So anyway, I had never played this game before and my break shot absolutely was...

Oh man I love this thread. Nothing in the world frosts me more than the guy that goes through listing the specs and has great pictures but won't name his price. He knows everything else about the cue but what it is worth. :rolleyes:

Thank you watchez. Once upon a time tennis was on television every weekend. There was a viable World Team Tennis League. Celebrities and movie stars gave up golf and took up tennis. Some even cancelled their golf tournaments and started tennis tournaments (I clearly remember Bill Cosby have a...

Good morning Beard- remember watching that event vividly. Bobby playing with his jacket on and the many faces and grimaces. If you ever waged a penny on a sporting event you knew immediately that you were being had. Though the world had treated it like a major event, when it actually happened...

I agree. That is the whole thing. Why would you invest? A pool rooms business has to be developed locally. Why would you pay someone that wasn't a part of developing that business anything? Why would you need a franchise partner? I actually think a cigar shop is a better investment now. They...

People outside of pool know two pool players. Minnesota Fats and The Black Widow.

I can't believe anyone that posts to a pool site doesnt realize, THIS IS A SCAM!! There are no what if's, or maybe's....this is a scam plain and simple. Bob

Lots and lots of good points. Here in Mass/NH, you simply cannot afford to open a room now because the rents are so prohibitive. I have "almost" opened another pool room three times and the numbers just don't work. I got to say that the Billiards Cafe owner has done a fabulous job with that...

Do you believe the car dealer when he says you can lease a 2013 auto for $99 a month? Do you believe the bank when they say they have a totally free checking account? I once worked for a company that said they had a "state of the art computer system". They didn't even have a computer! Here is...

Oh Rackem...so here is how it works. Doesn't matter if you like him or his business practices one bit. Mark owns a company called New England 9 Ball. He runs tournaments and receives compensation for his efforts. Now, here is the important part...he decides what he is going to make on his...
