Let me know or contact me and we can shoot, I am a decent shot but as many know on AZ, I lost the use of my right leg due to a major medical infection, so I cant play for hours and hours, but I love to play still, and I can still run a few racks on a good day.
look forward to talking or playing with you,

Additionally to what's been mentioned...
Crooked Cue has three Diamond Pro Ams (Clearwater)
Family Billiards is by all accounts, a fun pool hall to go to (Clearwater Beach)
Strokers is where the US Amateur National Singles has been held the several years (Palm Harbor)
Im heading down to the tampa area myself in the am. maybe we can meet up wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Saturday im heading to daytona for the long weekend.
If you dont contact me or we dont connect, If you are out
I usually have a one handed crutch that I am hopping around with also, I usually have one of my rolling dealers cue cases, which not to many players have.
So, if you see a guy like this at one of the pool halls, take a chance and introduce yourself and ask if the person might be 'mike from AZ' that you asked about the pool halls in the area.
Otherwise, have fun and enjoy the area and all the Pool it has to offer,
Mike 'acedonkeyace' Kennedy

Where'd you end up going?
Mike, you know of any weekly bar table tournaments around palm harbor
Sloooooooow out tonite.....
Went to the Flamingo on MLK first. League night, all tables full, so no chance to play. (looks like there would be some good bar table action there)
Next up was CMs. Deadwood. (there was a nice Diamond table there) Bartender sent me over to the Side Pocket on park.
Side Pocket had a VERY nice Diamond that had recently been recovered. Hit a few balls and the houseman said give a call late night as there is usually some 1p going down. (have to work early so back to hotel)
Thanks for all the info, I will try again tomorrow night, S

Sorry about that, I'm not there during the week, so I have no idea what is going on as far as leagues and stuff. I only get down there on Friday and Saturday nights, we usually get a ring game going first, cheap $5 on the 9, then yield the Gold Crown if someone is matching up for a set. If you like to gamble on sports games like football, I can PM you the guys name that does that as well.:thumbup:
Sounds good:thumbup:
Wednesday Night - Primetime in Dunedin: Details below:

The Strokers 9-ball tournaments on Fridays - Info here
https://www.facebook.com/strokerspa...9543827087974/829543797087977/?type=1&theater
It's a bit of a drive from St.Petersburg, but the level of competition is worth it.
Both are good places, but Strokers is the better pool room, especially if you need any shaft/tip work done. Rolando works the door and has a repair lathe behind the counter.

Thanks for the info on the tourneys. I'm probably going to go to Strokers Friday night.
Tonite I stopped in the corner pocket in largo. They had Gandys with blue Simonis and a nice tight one mentioned I practiced on. Nobody was gambling, just a few league players. Bartender said there is action there on fri-sat on table 1...... Thanks for all the tips,S
