    Can I put a pool table in a Texas garage??

    I think a dehumidifier would be a necessity.....if the walls are just sheetrock...... taking down panels and installing some roll insullation should not be too time consuming or terribly expensive....and would eventually pay for itself......a small window unit A/C can be had at home depot for...

    i want your opinions!

    I see where most have replied by suggesting you open your own hall.....i also saw where this is not economically possible for you at this time. May I pose an alternate solution. I knowa few friends that decided to combine their wealth and purchase an old GC. One of them had an outbuilding that...

    Should There be a seperate forum for the BB?

    If it ain't broke.......... I play only on BB's. I also see the threads specifically refering to BB play on a regular basis. Perhaps I am too lazy to peruse 2 seperate locales, or maybe I'm just opposed to change for the sake of change. Either way.....I am content with the way things are now...

    Your Favorite Book for 8-Ball

    The spelling and grammer didn't bother me all that much. What irked the hell out of me was reading the description of a shot and being refered to an illustration that depicted a different layout entirely. Very frustrating and confusing and completely avoidable even for a half assed proof reader...

    Smoking during a match???!!!!

    Low Class This guy is most definately a low class chump. I agree with the posters that said mention it to the owner of the establishment, that is probably the quickest way to wise this guy up. As far as the APA, or any league for that matter, I too share the opinion this is unsportsmanlike...

    Quitting while your ahead.

    Two simple rules I use only 2 simple rules for money games 1. Pay at the end of each game .....a " race to " constitutes 1 game for the purpose of payment. 2. Any player can leave at any time..... Once a player agrees to these simple provisions, I find arguements over quitting are few and...

    FYI to NE players

    Tap.....Tap.....Tap......Well said sir! I know neither party involved here, but in reading the various posts by both parties as well as those from both biased and unbiased 3rd partys.....one thing becomes clear. For whatever reason, an honest an respected businessman that made pool his...

    Anyone play at "Dutch's" pool hall in millington??

    Thank you for this info, and your previous post here as well. For some unknown reason .....your post describing places to play and league dates has disappeared. Maybe just a glitch in the system, but i would appreciate it very much if you could send me a PM repeating that information....Dan

    Springfield, mo.

    Lets see......Scott Lee as house pro, Fast Lenny as bouncer, and Shanelle Loraine as a cocktail waitress. A walk in humidor with a primo Cigar selection and some cask strength Macallans. A covered patio area where one might enjoy the whiskey and cigars while tending the Whole Hog slowly smoking...

    The perfect tip.....

    Apology accepted. I know some posters can get under your skin from time to time and there are a few that simply like to stir any pot. If any one particular poster annoys you so much it causes you to lose your pleasent demeanor.....perhaps it is time to place that someone on ignore.....or...

    LTD Schon B/J cue- Feedback

    As a long time Schon user and fan.....let me say this is great news. Having just spent upwards of $2000 on a new LTD and a couple of OB-2 shafts, it may be some time before the budget rebounds to the point where I will be able to salivate over one of these.....but would definately like to hear...

    The perfect tip.....

    I'm pretty certain I and others that have contributed to this post in a constructive manner are not IDIOTS. I for one do not appreciate being categorized as one. AZ for me is the sharing of knowledge, I shared what I knew to be true. I and most others welcome the opinions of others, even if they...
