My little brother played in his first tournament tonight. It was just a 10 dollar eight ball tournament but he was super stoked. He just started playing pool for real about a month ago and it just reminded me of when I first started playing. My first tournament was a 5 dollar entry fee nine ball tournament that seems like a long time ago. I do remember how excited I was and how I could not wait for the next one. My little brother went two and out but on the way home he could not stop talking about how he cannot wait until next week. I am pretty sure he is hooked and I think thats pretty cool. This is a great game we love.
