We banned smoking here in CA 10 years ago, almost to the day. It effected my business right away, about 10 per cent, and slowly the business came back again. I was really upset when it happened, but I began to realize that, even though I don't smoke, I've been in this environment for 40 years or...

I've played at the Sands since the second tourney in '85, and what made the event so well attended in the late 90s was a couple of factors. 1. Like someone said earlier, the added day scared a lot of players off who didn't want to spend the extra time or money. They only added the extra day...

Good luck, Sal. Your dad and I both know how difficult it can be opening a pool room and consistently showing a profit. I'm sure with your background you'll do well with it. Danny K

With all the problems with the economy and rent increases, it's sure a breath of fresh air to hear from pool players who have been to my room and enjoy what Danny K's has to offer. Thanks for all the accolades and encouragement. Danny

Thanks for all the compliments. It took a long time to get any type of good press, and this write-up is invaluable, from a popular editorialist and a great guy, Barry Koltnow. Look forward to seeing some of you guys down at Danny K's. Danny

Thanks for placing this on AZ. The wings we slow-cook (but not overdone) and so the meat falls off the bone. I'm always thinking of something new for the place, for players and sports fans alike. Keeps the job interesting. Danny

Marissa, until members start posting who they are, this forum will stay the same, period. You might claim that pool is a different kind of sport and people are generally nicer in other types of games, maybe so. Once you can trace a name to a face and the person has to take responsibility for...

At Danny K's in orange we have five tourneys a week and a league. These have been going on for 14 years now, and are all handicapped nine ball, except for Monday nites we play eight ball. Web site is www.dannyks.com .

Sorry, Hu. No arguments, no probem here.

Amen, Joey, amen.

The problem here is that too many people shoot back, and it causes the hostilities that take place. I don't shoot back, I don't in real life and I don't on a forum like this when I don't know with whom I'm contending with. I like to resolve issues calmly, without the hostilities. I think many...

Sorry, folks. Bottom line is that if everyone knows who you are, you're more careful about what you post. You might disagree with this, but to me it's fairly obvious; the people that refuse to post who they are want to stay anonymous for a reason; and that is so they don't have to own up to what...

Of course I can't change the rules of the game, but this is all about what some of us feel should be done. And I'm sure it isn't going to happen. Why was this subject even brought up if people aren't free to offer opinions about it?

Well, it obviously won't work on this forum. I can deal with it this way, though. It follows that with pool players and this forum people get a kick out of being secretive or hidden. Even if full names were required and a few people tried to put up phony names I don't think it would be the...

That isn't necessary on the Steel Guitar Forum, nor would it be preferred by any of the members. Enough people know about who is posting to be aware of any falsehoods. Other members would eventually find out who the imposters were anyway. The truth usually comes out in the end, by direct or...

Chris, make it on down, love to meet you. I make it to Austin once a year as well. Hu, there is also a forum named the Steel Guitar Forum, in which about 75% of all steel players are on. They are required to reveal all info about themselves, names, addresses, etc. It is an extremely civil...

Yeah, I think it would happen some anyway. It just makes sense that if you have to stand behind what you post, because the person you may be speaking about might see you at the next pool event, or someone in the poolroom where you play might have noticed the post, you're going to be naturally...

John Schmidt might still be posting also if members were more respectful with their posts. It's easy to not be respectful when you don't have to be, and there is no consequence for it. Forums that require identification are more civil, period.

I saw a guy at Hard Times recently that I've known for years, but we only run into each other every year or so. We talked about the az forum, and I asked him his forum name, and no way would he give it up. Like he had something invested in keeping it a secret. That's fine, except it makes it...

About 8 years ago at the Sands Regency, I was having dinner with my brother at about 5:30pm about 5 miles away from the hotel, and we're going to catch a cab back in plenty of time for the 7:30 pm match. 6PM no cab. 6:45 no cab. We start walking really fast at about a 5 mile an hour clip. We...
