    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. I played one session of APA 8 ball and before the end of the session was a 7.

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    I have a feeling the most popular sports frown on players gambling the outcome of games. At least, that's what my buddy Pete told me.

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    OP here. My fargo is currently above 600. I gamble and I understand it as a tool to keep score and to feel like you actually won something tangible. My problem is finding equally skilled or better opponents that want to spend an afternoon playing cheap sets to pass the time, hone our skills...

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    There's certainly all kinds. When I played APA I wanted my skill level to be as high as I could get it but I noticed that wasn't an attitude reflected by all. I'm working on getting my fargo established and I want it as high as I can get it. I want to be challenged but not big on putting up...

    I'm not opposed to gambling. But finding someone better than me willing to play cheap is a unicorn hunt.

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    If I had the money maybe the gambling aspect wouldn't be a big thing but its kinda hard on working class folks these days. Bills, kids,trying to build some sort of starvation retirement fund . I love to play. Gambling not so much.

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    Playing safe to win the money is understandable but there is something to be said about having the freedom to take creative fliers for the fun of it. Recovery pool is some of the best pool,imo. Putting together a multirail bank ,hard cut and then a carom for the win is fun. Playing safe...

    Neat Rule

    Had it happen when an up table 1pkt game was transitioning to down table. It's how I became aware of the rule. We had to stop and look it up.

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    Thanks. I don't mind the small tourneys and do well in them. Once they get sizable it's more waiting than pool and spending 10 to 18 hours for relatively few matches just isn't my thing. Though I definitely agree it's a good place for competition for the price of entry. I totally get money on...

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    I completely feel that though I can't be sure the other guy is on the same page, but I've had that feeling. I haven't been playing that long. I played a session of APA but I really didn't like the format. Too much waiting around and not playing. I ended the session as a 7. I've since joined an...

    So,my question for you is where do you find your competition at? Do you just play alone? Leagues? Amongst friends?

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    I must suck at communicating. Gambling isn't really my thing. I just like to play but those of similar skill level or higher always end up wanting to gamble.

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    I love pool and play daily. As my skill level increased I've noticed a reoccurring theme. Whenever I match up with higher skilled players it always ends up with a proffer to gamble. Always. I'll gamble sometimes. When I do I usually end up ahead, unless it's in doubles but that's another...
