Amsterdam Billiards history?

[justabrake]

Steven, if you're being sarcastic, I apologize in advance. The current situation is that the landlord sold the entire building to someone who plans to tear it down and build a hotel. That isn't exactly a lease problem. That's a wall, floor and ceiling problem. The former eastside location had two floors added to the building. Such an addition requires foundation work. Since the poolroom was located in the basement, this meant the work was going to happen in the poolroom. The landlord intended to shut the room down for a duration that would have left the owners in a difficult position financially. The owners decided it was best to leave instead of absorbing a huge loss.

I've known the owners of Amsterdam Billiards for years and I have to say, there are few individuals better qualified to run a poolroom in New York City. There are few rooms in the Northeast that can boast more than 15 years in business and there are few rooms IN THE WORLD that can boast of waiting lists every night of the week.

Regardless of the facts, I simply don't understand why you would take a moment to throw a jab at a poolroom owner. The fact is, any smart businessman knows that pool is not the most profitable enterprise they could invest in. They do it because of a fondness for the game, because they wish to be a part of an American tradition, because for some, there are things more important than money. The owners of Amsterdam have always been involved in competitive pool. They've got several leagues for all caliber players and have hosted numerous professional events throughout the years. They also maintain table-time specials that make it the cheapest room in Manhattan. I think any poolplayer would only wish there were more owners like them.

Or perhaps you might want to consider working on your humor. Better yet, try referring to facts instead of stirring-up inaccurate information.

What you said wasn't humorous. It was just irresponsible. A lot of us know the people involved and there's really no need to say such things.

Btw...I'll give ya a game if ya want one, punk!

Yes, and I thank you for those words of encouragement. I only hope that maybe, my words of distress will yield a capable player I might learn from.

Who are you and maybe I'll find you. I'll likely be on the head-table, testing the rails. Black P2. No stroke, no break, no game whatsoever.
