Just a short story for you. My neighbor was the counterman at a local pool room. I was sitting at the counter having coffee with him. A customer walked up to the counter and asked who the guy was playing on the center table. He is continually talking to himself while shooting. He never...

easy, Know of at least four times the players of a BCA (PL) league got ripped of. Twice in Rochester and twice in Vegas. Each time the finger pointing always went away from the LO or treasurer and in another direction. Pretty sure this also happens to players in other leagues. This one is...

Hey easy, Not going to be there this year. Pretty sure it's the first time in 27 years I'll miss it. Would have liked to put your face with the screen name. Maybe next year. Would have liked to play. Was second in the platinum seniors last year to Ed Borrega. Wanted revenge!!!! Lyn

It all depends on who your target audience is. If it is pool players only, burger, wings, fries, etc. are sufficient. When our room reopened three years ago, that was pretty much all we served. A year ago we received our full liquor license. With that change, we also expanded our menu to...

East Ridge Billiards in Rochester, NY uses Simonis 860 HR cloth on all 20 tables. Cloth is changed on an "as necessary" basis. NO jump cues or masse' shots are allowed. By anyone. Most all cloth damage is caused by careless customers and the beverages they spill. Cost of doing business. Lyn

Nine, Pretty sure I mentioned in my earlier post I'd prefer NOT to have to play Shane, Dennis, Jeffery, et al at 74. Do appreciate your suggestion though. Although you didn't specifically mention it, your knowledge of the 720 number means you were aware of the change. Incidentally, I...

Thanks for the levity Paul. You're the best!! Lyn

Woody, If "cornholing" or hot dog eating wasn't sad enough, what was the game with four players swatting at a ball over some central hole? Was too far away from the TV to see or hear what they were playing. Is this really proof pool is dead to the consuming TV public? Are we now a...

Hi Folks, Just a question to my fellow BCAPL players. Didn't qualify in either my local or Vegas league this year. Planned on playing as a player member as in past years. BCAPL does not allow that entry anymore. Was suggested to me by other players to enter the CSI 8, 9 and / or 10 ball...

Hi Steve, playcsipool.com/bcapl.html. Go to upcoming events. Scroll down to BCAPL World Championships. Click on link. Go all the way to the bottom of the page. Entries are listed by event. Good luck. Lyn

Hey banger, are you sure these guys are pro's? They could be shortstops ;) ! Lyn

Hi Glen, Accidentally poured some beer into one of the two compartments in our pool rooms Diamond ball cleaner. We're space limited so this may have happened before. Any suggestions beside changing the rotating pad? Lyn

Hey Marek, Great looking case! Use it in the best of health. Lyn

Paul, on this point I disagree. Mike is not deaf or blind. HE chooses to be treated in the manor most AZ posters feel. Must give him credit for his "sticktoitiveness". He doesn't give up! The color IS money! Lyn

Mike is supposedly coming to Rochester in July to promote the new league. It will be interesting to say the least. Both he and Dan Hiedrich are former Rochesterians. Wasn't Mike involved in a new amateur league a few years ago? Seem to remember when it failed he only "promoted" it and was...

Super Billiards is 9 ball. Why so tight? It makes you shoot to the centers of the pockets instead of allowing for slop! Even though I'm 74, still beat a lot of those youngsters. Since I used to play on that table daily, a standard Valley or Diamond 7' pockets are bushel baskets! Sadly the...

Not sure exactly how much I spent on this Valley table. My guess is under $100. Used this table to practice for Super Billiards Expo the last two years. Tough? You bet! Lyn

Guess that is why Johnny Archer was the "Player of the Decade" in both the 90's and 2000's using a Schon cue and maple shafts. Lyn

Nah, he's not that good :eek: ! Lyn

When does Paul Thornley get to play? Heard he's a top notch player in Canada. Please let me know. Lyn
