In all the properties I lease, I negotiate the lease terms for the renewal at the time I'm negotiating the present lease. I hear what you're saying, and all my strategy buys you is one more lease term at a decent rate, so if you're battling greed it's an inevitability that it'll get you at some...

IMHO one of the toughest challenges before you actually open the front doors in finding the right location, Location, LOCATION. In NY & CT Pool Rooms are looked upon somewhere between a Strip Club and a hangout for ISIS. Actually in NYS, you can't even call a Pool Room a Pool Room, you have to...

Hi guys, this software suite seems like it does everything you've been asking/talking about. The price is downright reasonable given that so many software app packages can no longer be purchased outright, but rather only subscribed to on a monthly/yearly basis. It's current right up through &...

Hi Gary, maybe you can help me with a memory problem. There was a really nice, upscale Pool Room in the Hamptons (LI) back in the early 90's. I think that it was in or on the outskirts of Montauk. The owners name was Bob and was an excellent host. On a rainy summer day, wait times for a...

Rock solid advice, thank you! I'm a big proponent of Business Plans, and have written quite a few over the years (I own 3 other businesses). Earlier this evening, after the stars fell a little out of my eyes, I started doing a draft biz plan in my head, which I will later commit to paper and...

Hi, 2 quick questions: 1) is there a formula on what you need to make per square foot and/or per table with the known rent being one of the elements in the equation? 2) I have the possible opportnity to open a small room. The square footage will only accommodate around 10 or 11 full size...

Running 30 balls in straight pool. I got to live out #2, which was, in a way, to help me with goal #1: I met and had a multiple hour lesson with Mike Sigel, who, in spite of what the haters say, is cool AF.

I have a Lucasi Hybrid and I like it very much. It's my go-to, daily cue. It was the 1st low deflection shaft I had played with at the time and for me, it definitely involved a learning curve, which was absolutely worth it. My game was also rusty as I hadn't played in a while so there's that...

I was under the impression Mike Shamos had already started that effort, I could be wrong. Regardless, you are absolutely right. Between the existing Hall of Fames for players, cue makers, Tour associations, Player's association, Product Manufacturers, etc., I would think this is a very...

You're right! Thanx Fran! You are just one of the nicest people I've ever met in the game. I hope all's well with you. Best, Stephen

Come on people, don't be ashamed...if we got hungry enough when nothing else was open (other than Lox Around The Block) we all ate their terrible Hot-dogs and peanuts from the Planters Peanut machine, LOL!

Ah yes, the upscale 24/7 room on West 21st in NYC that was a Mecca for the Action & Nouveau player alike. It was to Pool what St Patrick's Cathedral is to Catholics (and so many others); a behemoth of a palace to both worship & participate in the faith. Chelsea's (as it was called) gave way...

Sooner or later, we will all go to that great Pool Room in the sky...OK, some will go that room full of unlevel, worn cloth, bar boxes in the hot & humid basement. QUESTION: What do you want done with your prize collection of Cues? For me, I'd like my sons to have one each, provided they have...

YES to the stripper pole...and why not a VIP Lap Dance room? Since I can dream...I retired from DJIng after an illustrious 30 year career. I'd like to recreate the DJ booth from my favorite club, at which I had a long standing Saturday night residency in the 80's. After my Diamond Table...

Great story! Thank you!!!! -Z-

I'm hard pressed to believe that table is slate. -Z-

dynamicmad, congratulations! What a score! There's only 1 thing better than a home table, and that's a Diamond home table. ENJOY! Really? Didn't know that. Mine is a Red Label table. KEWL!!!!

Mitch, welcome to Husky country! I live 1 town over from Oxford. Pool is alive & well here in the constitution state. Can't say the same for #2A, but I digress. There are some very nice rooms here and the passion for the sport is strong. In addition to Shooter's, Fast Eddie's in New...
