Bumper pool

[GoldCrown]

Tough game to play well.... (like most games)

That’s what I’m saying. Now I’m looking for a Bumper Pool instructor. Must be certified, licensed, insured, etc.
Don’t need aiming or stroking systems. Just need to know how to lock up the other guy not myself. And screw those bumpers. To hell with them

Would like to understand strategy. I kept putting myself in jail. Boiled in my own stew.

I’m going to go boil my stew…..

I love that line, can I borrow it?

Call Nick V he plays good bumper pool. I’ve never seen him play, but I’ve heard it from several guys over the years and clearly he can play pool.

So. I’m at Tom Wirth’s playing 1p. These
are sitting in plain view. The curse of the orange. The curse is on. I could not concentrate after this. I kept looking at them waiting to turn purple.

One of my old neighbors had a bumper pool table (octagon) in their basement. Don't remember the rules but I remember we had some fun.

Rectangle table is sick. The octagon is sicker.

I've never played on the rectangle. I was 12 or 13 and sucked anyways so didn't know any better

I’m 75 (update 76) and still don’t know any better

To boil in your own stew is to smoke yourself…cook your own ass. Maybe that’s why my rear is brown. Just occurred to me

Not many bumper pool players gamble much/will bet high...but one day last year I walked into the pool room and got real lucky = there was two fish on the bumper pool table playing each other...so I rushed over there and put my quarter up...naturally I stalled for a little while, which worked like a charm/got them to bet high well, a coupla hours later, I had busted both of them for a HUGE score so that you guys will know what they look like and can get in action for big $$$ if you ever run into them, here's a pic of the two fish >>>

Here is a link to Skyler Woodward playing at a party. Sound is annoying, but interesting/funny to watch.

I bought a poker table for the basement off of craigslist a couple of years ago. It is a combo table with a top that flips over and a bumper pool table below. The bumper pool plays terribly. I messed around one time and that was enough for me! Prior to that the last time I played bumper pool I was in 3rd grade on a much better rectangular version. I don't recall ever playing on a slate bed bumper table. The rails and bumpers were dead.

Add a warped cue, wet chalk, old eye Rx, and I have my excuses.
