This guy looks like he'll make you a good game, note his mouth chalking technique.

Nah, not downtown. At the base of Mt. Tabor, about 50th and Hawthorne. If you play any league, chances are we've crossed paths.

That's a nice place up there. They put on 2 or 3 tournaments a week, I think. Right up the street, Rodder's also puts on one or two, or at least they used to. Not sure about Jin's. If you hit up one of the Midway tournaments, you can probably find out about more of them from other players.

It's been getting a bit bigger out here, mostly due to leagues.
Of course, I wish I had been into pool when I was in SoCal. Starting at 30 in an area made up primarily of barboxes probably has me fighting the odds.
I was out in September for my sister's wedding. Just cruising through NW and seeing the Silver Dollar (where I played most of my pool), Blue Moon, Ringlers, and Touche. And then cruising downtown past Rialto...
Good times...

I've heard the Silver Dollar had good tournaments. I don't go downtown much. I started my playing at Sewickley's, right before the owner died. I got to hear lots of stories about the big tournaments he had hosted and that people came from all over the area to play in them.
It seems any time I go to CA, I don't have the free time to run off to some shady bar or hall and play. I've told the g/f that I get to play on our next road trip. Now, if I can just plan one long enough to make it worth spending time playing. We all know you can't just play a few games and call it good, that's like having an appetizer and pretending you're full.
I'm new to the area, but I really like Sam's Hollywood Billiards in Portland. They have a very solid BCA League on Thursday nights and I've just joined a Straight Pool League as well - both played on 9-foot Gold Crowns.
Is The Midway the one with the Diamond Barboxes?

A couple of Salemites were telling me to check out that tournament. I don't think I've even seen a calcutta done before anywhere. I'm just a bit lazy.
We're starting to get a small group of OR area players on here.. perhaps one of you less lazy people should organize a tournament. :thumbup:
