I like Center Pocket and most often choose that room to play in when I can find time to play at all. My only serious complaint is the concrete floors - not great if a stick gets dropped or knocked over. But people are nice and tables are in pretty good shape. FMP sounded promising, but then I...

Does anybody know of an individuals / singles league in the Annapolis, MD area? I would also consider a team-based league providing lots of games/reps in a given night. I am not interested in APA, TAP, or similar systems because of the overhead for stats tracking and small number of games - and...

Very cool to have players like Jayson Shaw around. The nearest I have played to US1 Billiards was in East Haven years ago. I had also played at a place on Berlin Tpke decades ago, but I have no idea what it was called. It was a large room with 9 ft. tables, but that's all I can remember...

Thanks, yeah. I saw a number on Google, but am hoping for first-hand perspectives.

Nice. I saw them online and it looked favorable, but I wasn't really sure how anything is doing in the COVID era since that would seem to impact pool rooms pretty hard - at least early on. I have spent time at Gold Crown in the past down in New London, but I would probably be in the Hartford...

I am planning to relocate to Connecticut this summer. What are the best pool rooms in CT and why? Your input might influence where we choose to live!

It's been a few days and not one comment so I am thinking maybe this section isn't widely viewed. I am gonna post up on the Main forum and see what happens...

Folks, It's been a long time since I posted anything. I am possibly relocating to the Connecticut area this summer and am interested in hearing about the current pool scene in the state (and nearby cross-border rooms as well, I suppose). I would probably be in the Hartford area which is pretty...

Top Hat's Pretty Good I don't know of any rooms between the greater Baltimore and Philly metro areas. But there is a pool room just barely north of Baltimore , right off the beltway, called Top Hat. It's a pretty nice room which has Gold Crowns instead of Diamonds. 8809 Satyr Hill Rd...

Cathy, condolences on Rich's passing. He was a gentleman pool player and the game in these parts won't be the same without him around. And to my old team-mate, we shared many APA matches, but I will never forget the straight pool. I'll also miss sharing a rail at the SBE and the Maryland 14.1...

Payouts were as follows... 1: $4000 2: $3000 3-4: $1800 5-8: $800 9-16: $400 Total Purse: $17000 Hopefully next year we can hit a $20,000 purse.

Archer beat Schmitt by 150 - 74.

I am so happy you enjoyed yourself. It was a great tournament again this year. I can think of a few minor things that may improve it next summer, but overall I was pretty happy with it. Peter, Dave, and the room (Rick & Cindy) all work really hard to bring it together and they deserve a lot of...

Good tip Oh, thanks for the tip. That sounds like a good time. I haven't seen any tournaments in Ottawa at all, so if there's one in Gatineau that's just as good. Pro and Semi-pro calibre? That's awesome. I'll get my brains beat in, but it's much better than not playing anyone who can shoot...

Sent you a private message the other day, but haven't heard back yet. In case you check here...yeah, that sounds fun. I wouldn't mind seeing what Gatineau has to offer for pool rooms, either.

Thanks, but... If action is the only way I am going to find somebody to shoot pool with, then that's a real indictment. I am going to wait a little longer for another post before going down that road. I am not real fond of playing for money because it takes all the fun out of it...but could get...

I am tired of not being able to find somebody to spar with. Are there any players in Ottawa!? Looking to play on some 9' tables...might settle for 8' tables (looking at you, Tailgators...). I don't care what we play.

Well, so far Ottawa has been fairly disappointing as a pool scene. It's too bad since the town itself is quite beautiful and seems to have a lot of nice people. I have been to pool rooms all over town from Orange Monkey to McLaren's, to Tailgators to Cue and Cushion. Most rooms had equipment in...

What about Ottawa? This is disappointing. I will be in Ottawa for several weeks and was hoping there is a decent scene there, however nobody has mentioned it. By "decent" I mean an active pool scene. Lots of tourneys, or leagues. I think action would naturally follow when there are a lot of...

I lost because I wanted to maintain my proud tradition of not winning there. Okay...so that's only half correct. I tend to play down to my opponents at this event...except in the case when I actually get a quality opponent. In that case, they usually just beat the tar out of me based on skill...
