I can guarantee if it's really $50 or $60 I'm out. Do people really pay that kind of money to watch pool streaming over the internet? That's the kind of money they get for a whole night of guys kickin' each others asses and people love to see that. Honestly, I'd find $19.99 about the tops I'd...

If we're each paying for the time, can we play on 3 seperate tables? We're paying the equivalent. Does that make any sense? If 3 people are playing on a table and we aren't playing cutthroat, aren't 2 people really playing? At no time are 3 people playing the game. If there's a guy...

Nope. Since the question is would I take it....the answer is no. Someone offered me a decent free 8 foot table and I turned him away. You can find a GC nowadays for next to nothing. The real money in whatever table you want is going to come in the setup. I found a Gold Crown in decent...

Why would your stepson be at your house sending you a PM about a cue you are selling? What did he want? Pictures? Gimme a break. I gave him the benefit of the doubt about not being a liar, but it appears that he is.

I believe this discussion was about the APA. That league is generally about having fun. Playing well, getting better, and having fun DO go hand in hand. On the subject....I would never call that a foul. It's chickenshit. I get it that it's the rules, I just don't care. If he made a nice...

I leave any pool hall that says they charge per player or charge for 3 or more players. Not gonna fly for me. It irritates me beyond belief. You'd rather I come by myself and shoot pool than to encourage my friends to come and drink the beer, eat the food, and enjoy the good times. I'm...

What does that mean? I don't think this pool room HAD rules. That's why they play 'bullshit' pool (otherwise known as "straight 8"). Everyone is ignorant of those rules, that's why only ignorant ass people play it.

Thanks, I'll give you a call tonight @ 8:30pst.

I don't know anything about this "perfect aim" system, but I'm willing to give someone a call if they want to give me some pointers. I'm working now and I'm on the west coast. Can I call around 6:00pst tonight? I'll get everything ready and be by my table.

I think the actual spelling of his name is M-U-D

I don't have a whole lot of experience with APA leagues. They were played in my local pool hall that hung out in. I was there every day, and the league was there once a week. I got a team together one year with a few friends and we were division champs the first year out. We didn't take it...

I would say bring out the banhammer, but at least right now we have some idea of who he is. If he gets banned he'll create a new account and go on jerking people around.

Thanks. I doubt SDBilliards would do that to me. Vacuum seems to work fantastically and unless your closing off the suction and pulling upward on the cloth like an idiot I can't see any harm that can be done either. I think that has to be the least harmful way to clean my table and has been...

Start a new tournament on the another night. I'm sure you're not the only one that's had to deal with stupidity. Tournaments run by moron's aren't worth playin in. They serve as more a source of frustration than anything else. I wouldn't play anywhere that they had a "Straight 8"...

It is....as long as they don't show up every week. Your top tourney players might enjoy playing the guy with some weight, but most players are going to just stop showing up or stop participating. While most players would enjoy the opportunity to play against a TOP rated player, they'd also...

Haha...my local poolhall is a shithole that couldn't get a pro player to walk in the door. They did have Oscar D. coming in and robbing the tournament for awhile, but I think mostly the local guys appreciated the opportunity to try to beat him. The tourney wasn't handicapped for anyone but...

I was curious why so many recommended a "light vacuuming". Is their any evidence to support that a "heavy vacuuming" would be damaging to the cloth? I use a 5hp shop vac and it has been getting my table nice and clean. Unless I play for 8 hours and don't stop to clean the table, my hands stay...

I agree with you, I just think that main problem is the atmosphere, not the game itself. Pool is a bar game like darts and shuffleboard, very far from a sport and very easy to identify the problems. If you're working up a sweat playing pool (to the other poster) you either need to turn on the...

I think that's a little "cart before the horse" there. You can't have a game with an industry that makes money unless there are players. Players first, then the money. Kids don't love basketball because the pro's make a lot of money. That's ludicrous. They are tought the game young, play...
