Expensive Cue Shooter

Do you play with an expensive cue out in the open or are you more reserved about what you bring to the pool hall? I have a few expensive cues and mid-level cost cues and I was just wondering if you use your really expensive cue at the hall? Do you think it's too flashy or risky? What's your opinion?

Sounds like you’re hanging out in the wrong places.
 
I happen to have some custom cues i carry everywhere in 6x12 case.This requires having a separate insurance rider on my homeowner’s policy. Like with most insurance coverages, there’s a stipulated maximum value for any one item unless I wanted to obtain actual replacement value which is more expensive. I don’t mind the shortfall coverage since it only involves two cues that exceed my policy’s limit but the overall policy coverage more than covers all my cues. This is the same type coverage I have for my gun collection. My take is you insure what you have that is relatively valuable or expensive.

Having said this, my cues go wherever I play pool, except at a bar. Then I have a SP cue for that environment but pool
halls, absolutely.Why else own these cues other than to wonder I wish it was here with me now. That’s why I have a big
cue case. I want what I want when I want it so if I wanted to switch cues, it’s so simple to do. And I do use all my cues.
 
I don't really have any truly expensive cues. $2000-2500 is about the most expensive I've had and those certainly got played with. I don't have a table at home so if I'm not taking it out to play it's doing me no good. I'm lucky to have nice and what I consider very safe places to play and I'm good at keeping an eye on things. If I had more expensive cues I'd take them out too, but if I played in places where I didn't know a lot of people and where I might have to step away from my stuff occasionally then I might be more hesitant.
