Can anyone explain this to me?

Hi 'Cudas,

I was there last week! I have never seen such incredibly well engineered tables! Ernesto has outdone himself. I got to meet Tom in Cincy. Ran into him again in Reno Friday night. Tom showed me the facilities. Described what the future may bring to Hardtimes. What incredible owners they have. This may be the best pool room in the country! I can't wait to go back. Thanks for the conversations Tom!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you are right, Kid. It already has that reputation. Let me ask, Tom. Do you think a room done the same way in say, the St. Louis area, that catered to the player, had weekly and monthly tournaments in the amounts you speak of and charged a very reasonable fee to the public to view these tournaments would have a chance of doing well? I'm sure, like you say, the owner/s would have to be special people and understand how to treat their customers but could it be a success?

Hemicudas,

I'm not all that familiar with the St. Louis pool scene.

But, with that being said, a room done the same way would be sucessful anywhere.

If there aren't any REAL pool players in a pool hall, they might as well call it a "Recreation Center" for kids and young adults. Foosball, ping pong, all types of video games plus some pool tables.
