Did you play pool today??
- Thread starter 1on1pooltournys
- Start date
This is old news. There is a guy named Dennis that I'm sure would love to play, but he is too good for me and for me to bet 1k I definitely would need weight. I have told him this several times and offered to play some 20 a game for good practice, but he is not interested and that is fine with me as it will save me some money...LOL:grin: So, I guess you know where I stand now.

I play league Tuesday nights and on a good week I can practice twice between Thursday and Sunday. As much as I love pool, playing more than this burns me out and I like some diversity in my free time. Sometimes I regret not being a better player as I should play more, but I suppose that's life.
Day after Day!
The 9 foot Diamond Pro Table sits covered with clothes from this week's folded laundry so the beautiful Simonis cloth never sees my chalk marks, any longer.
The pool hall is so far away. With gas being $2.00 a gallon, who can afford to drive. Besides at $3.25 per hour per person for pool time, how can you justify those prices.
The fact that everyone in the pool hall is itching to gamble from $5 to $500makes it uncomfortable to even walk in the pool hall anymore.
Twice a week the pool room owner throws money at his customers. Having TWO FREE POOL tournaments a week with hundreds of dollars at stake will just wear you out, especially with all of the side action going around before, after and even during the darn tournament.
And you mustn't forget about the food spread that the owner of Buffalo Billiards puts at virtually every sporting event. Crawfish this week, all the Papa John pizza you can eat, the lasagna from Pizza Hut, the Boiled crabs and virtually any kind of food you can imagine, all of it being given away every single week. Uhhhg, I gain weight just thinking about the freebies that he gives away every week. It makes you want to go to the gym just to get away from it all.
The tables stay busy with wealthy college students from nearby Tulane University and a collage of different ethnic persons with left over Katrina money dangling out of their pockets 24 hours a day. The bangers have plenty of money and flaunt it like they were high class debutantes. The really good players can't afford the high prices or the action so there is very little decent competition. And please, don't talk about the loud-mouth drug dealers begging to go off with their ill-gotten gains. It's enough to make you sick.
This is why I stay home day after day, reading the pool forum on AZ.
