John Hickenlooper looks like a stone cold hustler taking on a worldbeater like Obama with a cue off of the wall :smile:
I think the gov can play.
Maybe they can each pony-up $10K for a 20K Challenge Match...any game except bumper pool

Arnaldo I assume you're not being serious?

:rolleyes: Just ordered a tinfoil hat. Paypal bounced. Damn. I'm not who I thought I was; just look like me.

Some folks spend the first 50 years trying to find themselves only to discover they weren't worth looking for.

Calm your exuberance

The guy doesn't have a clue. Addressing the cue ball advanced of 90 degrees.
Bridge hand ill formed with his rear hand choking the cue.

Elevating his cue above the rail. Notice differing footwork from the prior photo.

Finally the pres showing advanced knowledge. CTE except he is aligning the cue
tip at the edge of the cue ball, or even to miss the cue ball. Looks like he is sighting
with his ear. As noted above he is using TOWO (touch of way outside)
Yes. A photo op through and through.

He knows nothing about pool. Only that it shows him as an ordinary guy which he is
not. Certainly separate from a vote, he has no interest.

As for his skill level. About the same as his baseball pitching level. About an APA 3
on his best day.

The guy is an amateur in everything including pool. He does however take a nice
photo. Calm your exuberance.

:grin:

What. No pointing out the obvious superiority of the pres's personal style?

How disappointing.

Glad to see he chose to go green where it actually makes a difference, on the pool table!

I doubt he cares that much about having a clue about pool, but, I'm sure the AZers appreciate and are impressed with your professional critique of his game.

Hey Slide....not enough peeks at your thread in NPR? I like it better when you enlighten us all on what it takes to be a top notch shooter.

NO AZers at Denver?


Not too many AZer's would go to the Wynkoop Brewing Company to play pool.
Hickenlooper is the original owner, and it is basically a yuppie micro brew bar / restaurant, with a bunch of pool tables upstairs.
I used to take engineers there for lunch or go in there on a date, but it's really not that much fun to play pool at The Wynkoop...nice place with zero pool hall feel.
Those Gold Crowns came from the defunct Colorado Cue Club, and before that they had mostly furniture type tables.
Melissa Little was involved there as the house pro for a while.
Most of the AZer's in Denver hang out at Felt Billiards.

It's interesting that during the the '08 election, Obama was supposed to take a lesson from Tom Ross.
Before Tom's stroke, he was running the pool room at a bar called the Skylark.
The lesson never happened, but I had a pic of him playing pool back then.
