don't know anything. uppin for you.

I'm gonna have to agree with Mr. Lee right here. I'm not much of a billiards player yet but I've been successful with lots of sports and definately trust the pros experience vs instructors. Only difficulty being the ablility within the people to verbalize their info. Just gotta take the pros...

As a new gambler in the pool halls I enjoy this kinda stuff. If anybody else has any good info for beginners put it in here! Any info about slang on money talk or standard gambling numbers would be huge help here. One question - Whats does weight mean in the game? Say I give you the 7, what...

Enjoyed that. I'm so gonna be a hustler! :grin:

WOOT! Thanks for putting this thread up. I've never seen the movie before and have REALLY been wanting to catch it and never would have checked TVLAND for it. Much appreciated!

Hey Fatboy what do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?

Anybody know any places to read good billiards articles or any billiards e-books I can read online. I'm a beginner by the way.

I think I'm going to the book store tomorrow to make a purchase.

My budget is going to be $150 for cue + case MAX. I just can't see myself paying anything more for my FIRST cue. I plan on breaking AND playing with this cue. I'm 6' tall with medium length arms. Any recommendations based off that?

Didn't know the man. *Respect*

^Hah. Yea, when older MEN call me son it usually comes across as someone just tryin ta help a young guy and -NOT argumentative!- :grin: --not sexist just how I was raised--SHE just happened to make the remark in a snide way. This pool hall is also right next door to a school and I've noticed...

Well guys I'm still learning my game and have a little while before I invest any money in equipment for my pool game but I'm one of those guys that jumps into things head first and doesn't look back, so--looking for recommendations. I'd like to know what the best bang for your buck pool cue...

Curious if the OP ever got his cue? This Eddie guy sounds like the biggest loser ever. That or he's just a scammer. :angry:

LOL! I find it quite funny that the majority of the responses we're to the son thing. I only added that for ad lib purposes to spice up the story. For the record I grew up in the 'slums' you could say, and when people called me son it was in a condescending way to try and start a fight so it's...

I got to table number 13 which I was delighted to see was a perfectly clean and well maintained 9 foot table perfect for practicing my game which has been stagnant for about 4 years. I rack up quickly as the anxiety and excitment starts to course my veins like blood in a marathon. I fumble with...

As I leave the entrance area and enter the pool hall for the first time I notice the obvious lack of financial backing that has been supporting this place over the years--I hope not by design. The room is quite large. The ceilings are about 15 feet high as a guess-ta-ment with approximately 30...

My first pool hall story..... "How much per hour?". I stood their awaiting an answer from the elderly lady who was in obvious bad healthy--I wonder if the nature of this sport breeds health deficiency due to addiction--a matter for another day! "$2.50 per hour, son." Why is it that at my ripe...

Was at a local bar yesterday and had some random lady walk up and give me her APA card. Think it was Laura Mewes if shes giving our HER cards. Good to see people being kind already. Bout to go out and get a couple hours on a bar box with my buddy and work on forward,center, and draw shooting...

Names Bryan. I'm 22 and just decided I want to really get serious with pool. I've actually ALWAYS wanted to play consistent but never had access to billiards tables on any kind of regular basis until now (old enough to get into bars and stuff). I've been practicing for the last 2 weeks just...
