Thanks. I am a member of Denver pool group and also SoCal/Sacramento/San Diego pool groups. What I am mainly interested in is - tournaments that report to fargo (non-handicapped or not), BCA leagues for 9 or 10 ball - and all of this on 9 footers. Possibility for some good non-$ challenge matches (Salotto etc). Icing on cake would be a pool hall with all-day (including weekend) or monthly rates (have a couple here in LV, hence. Don't know if that is the norm in all places).
Thats Sad... Dead... So end up in great bunch of snow... Wow... Guy10-15 years ago this was correct, pool was declining.
now it’sdead
go to Co and play.
i believe Mile High Billiards has some sort of deal where you can pay a flat rate to shoot all day. i saw a post on their page about it and inquired if it was always available but they didnt respond.
It is sad. There’s just not much pool in la considering the population. It’s just faded into the past. In greater la as well.
Looks like the consensus is leaning towards Denver : )It is sad. There’s just not much pool in la considering the population. It’s just faded into the past. In greater la as well.
Vegas pool scene is probably better than ever or equal to its best times for sure. The action in pool in Vegas is at its best for sure-soon as I moved.
Northern California pool is still solid. It’s much better than SoCal for sure. Used to be equal in the 80’s I’d guess. I played extensively in both. SoCal & NorCal are 2 different worlds. Central Ca used to be pretty strong for pool as well-I think it’s faded a bit in the last 20 years.
That’s the Ca rundown.
Phoenix was a brilliant place to play in the late 80’s to mid 90’s. Lots of ok players who would gamble and were decent guys to play. Great times there. I’d drive down from vegas to play there often. I’ve heard it’s faded a bit.
I’ve heard in the rail for years and known many players from Denver and always heard the same thing-great pool city. I have never played there. Salt lake is close as I got.

What do you mean by this?
basically, i mean this:
i have yet to find anybody that just wants to play the game, maybe discuss each others shots and choices and english, somebody like me that gives you the money ball when you end up good on it, and maybe just maybe have an intelligent conversation after the game."make some friends" - an introvert's worst nightmare
Last time I was in Denver this is how it went-showed up to Felt and league was just getting done. Saw an old friend that had moved away years ago and played 8 ball for a couple hours for fun. He left and I played cheap one pocket with a stranger until close.
thats super cool! i'm glad you had such a good time out here, it just goes to show you that the opportunity is widely available in colorado.
. i guess if i wanted some company badly enough i would try harder to achieve that goal. thanks for the advice pal
I really enjoyed it. I understand the league thing. I don't play them either. One session when you're new to an area helps get a quick synopsis of the players in the area. Good, bad, or indifferent, you get the scoop in a few weeks.thats super cool! i'm glad you had such a good time out here, it just goes to show you that the opportunity is widely available in colorado.
the truth of it is i'm just not that good and there is nothing appealing about league play to me. any gambling for me would just be throwing my money out the window. so i just shoot by myself, and honestly i don't really mind, except my opponent is kind of sharky
I only play BCA for the minimum membership/nationals participation (if i participate), and because there isnt slop allowedI really enjoyed it. I understand the league thing. I don't play them either.

Nothing wrong with playing with yourself
No pressure, you quit when you want, and it's always fun!
Otherwise its just practice, and the oh so rare tourneys here on 9 footers.
I heard that when I was there. All those 9fts and all tournaments are on the 7. Also no one pocket tournaments... Seemed to be enough players for it.I only play BCA for the minimum membership/nationals participation (if i participate), and because there isnt slop allowed
Yeah, for some reason - all the multi-benjamins and rad sounding tournaments and then you see - 7 footers? wth? Oh well, to each their own.

Not for me, so I guess I should just shut up and move
Or if the pool rooms can. That’s what killed pool in Ca. Can’t pay the rent with the income of a pool room.
At Felt the bar boxes are busy and they have leagues and tournaments on them.Bar boxes are not real Pool tables IMHO.
They are like “Ladies Tees” in Golf.
It baffles me to see $80/$100/even $1000 tourneys being advertised............on 7 ft tables. Like, WHY?Bar boxes are not real Pool tables IMHO.
