Gambling in America

I say, "There isn't a pollhall in America that doesn't have a game in it."
Right or wrong?

Depends how good you are. "B" and down can find action in almost every room, but "A" and up can not. There are hundreds of small neighborhood pool rooms the locals won't play anyone they don't know and there are no local "A" players as regulars in those rooms. Johnnyt

I am not even sure that it depends on your speed. In any pool room I know a stranger is automatically a "road player". I have been called to multiple pool rooms to play the new guy coming in and quickly found out that the guy was nothing more than a C+ player looking for $10 dollar sets or cheap one pocket. Also I have had really stong players called in on me when I just wanted some cheap action. If noone has the line on a player everyone assumes the worst and noone will play them. This is why players do not go to strange rooms looking for cheap games and why pool action is dying.

Wrong. So wrong.
