    CHICAGO - Surge Coffee Bar and Billiards

    Thanks for posting, Ideologist! I didn't know about Surge, but I have to go to Roger's Park soon, so I can take a little detour and check out this new room. Looks great.

    Last year the score was 11-3 Europe. This year the score was 11-4 Europe. Take heart America! We're getting closer!

    The Mosconi Cup is less than a week away!

    Thanks for the heads up, moose man! I am busy with other things, and lost track of the MC, so now I can watch it. Last year it streamed live on ESPN3, in the early afternoon here in Chicago. If you have a Roku, the ESPN channel is available, and ESPN3 is inside that. Listings for the stream...

    Mosconi Cup 2017

    Shane IS a great player, and I'm a fan, but he doesn't seem to do well at MC. He looks miserable as well, most of the time. I hope this year it will be different for him. Bergman and Skyler were great last year, it almost looked like they were down at the hall, just playing a casual game, joking...

    How about get yourself a job

    Only in America do people put down education, and brag about being ignorant. This is why you get a lying moron as President.

    Songs that get played over and over at your pool hall

    Lots of Blake Shelton is played at our spot, for whatever reason. I am a fan of old country, say, from the 60's and 70's, but I find the new stuff utter crap. I am also with WildWing on the stupid "oh" trope that pervades post-rock these days; if I had only known that that is all it takes to be...

    Imagine if pool tables had no side pockets. Would pool be more interesting to watch?

    1. No. 2. The plural of pro is "pros", not "pro's".

    Efren still my hero.. 5 on the snap.

    Apparently the standards for heroism have fallen recently. About a month and a half ago, I was playing my father-in-law, and he dropped five on the break. He hadn't played in about five years; he is 74.

    Is it normal for ur cue to graze ur nipple when shooting

    It's okay if the cue grazes your nipple when shooting. If the cue grazes other peoples nipples when you shoot, you need to fix something.

    Can you wash cloth?

    Can you wash (as in, with a bucket and brush, and some soap) the cloth on tables? Our favorite table where we play was being washed by a staff member, and we were unable to play on it. When we finally got to play on it, it looked bad - you could see where some of the spots had been scrubbed...

    Bad Etiquette?

    We don't know these people all that well, but things might develop... For the record, we don't own fancy cues, I own a $110 Schmelke, and my wife has an old Wilson (yes) that she paid $15 for, and refuses to part with, even though I tried to talk her into a new cue. She can still beat me with...

    Bad Etiquette?

    My wife and I are pretty avid pool players, we play at least once a week. sometimes more. We both own our own cues. We are going to play pool with another couple that are not as interested in pool as we are, they play casually, and don't own their own sticks. When we go to play with them, should...

    New Here? - Introduce Yourself

    If you plan on enjoying the retired life, you wouldn't take up pool! Just kidding, welcome to the forum. As far as cue recommendations, this isn't really the place, but there are plenty of threads about buying a cue in the Main forum; just search for "new cue recommendations" or "First cue...

    Always Use Chalk First

    That's just idiotic...and on more than one level.

    One Pocket is so slow....

    I don't mind one-pocket, but I'll give it a shot: One-pocket is so slow that before the match was finished, Scott Frost had to change his name to Scott Defrost. Haha. ha.
