It's a bit of a running joke where I play how much I hate there being more than two pieces on the rail of the table. I have chalk, you have chalk, that's fine. But the hall puts two pieces by the scoreboard of every table. Some players grab that before the one they previously set down. When there's three or four chalks on the rail of the table, the 'tism within me compels me to pick it up and put it back by the scoreboard before I even look at the layout
If I have to do that two or three times, I am either going to take them to the counter of the hall, or put them at another table far away. If you go get them back, I am going to cuss you out.
I usually just put it in my pocket, or next to where I am sitting. To be honest, I really don't care if people leave it on the table. But 3, 4, 15 pieces of chalk on the edge of a table is genuinely annoying.
I don't care if my opponent leaves chalk on the table, as long as it is right side up and he doesn't care if I use it!
I never put more than one piece of chalk on the table. If there is more than 1 piece, by the time I'm done shooting, they will be side by side. I don't know why, but I always end up grabbing them both and set them down together.
You hit on something that does bother me... Chalk upside down on the rail. Why? Just why?
I don't know. I know a couple of guys that do it all the time though. Chalk all over the rail. Constantly having to get something to wipe the rail down with. Annoying as hell!
I do the same, not consciously. I think I just want them out of eyeline. Two people, two pieces of chalk.
Efren knows this to be true! haha no one likes a booger wiped on the edge of the table either. Wonder if anyone ever brought that up directly with Efren?
Perhaps if you're sat in the chair playing them, you might. Watching on video, these days, they take it with them to the chair 9 times out of 10.
Yes sir, otherwise I put your chalk in the bin lol
I know one guy that never sets his chalk down on the table. He keeps in his bridge hand all the time.I do the same, not consciously. I think I just want them out of eyeline. Two people, two pieces of chalk.
