I could care, but don't.

Most of these greats on this forum don't offer an opinion or advice on questions that will help the peons get better, so I couldn't care less about him coming on to posts like this to tell me that I should give up my table for him.

Credentials that would make me listen are actual room owners telling me it is better for the room and giving evidence.

Fair enough.

For me, if I wanted to be an ice hockey player (for example), and I was lucky enough to run into Wayne Grezky, I'd listen to him. But that's just me.

The newe owner of Hard Times in Bellflower is very savvy with the gambling aspect in my opinion. I forget his name, great guy though. I wonder what he'd do here? If I had to guess I'd say he'd ask the players in the 9 ball set politely to move, and if they didn't want to he'd probably forget it. That is bigtime conjecture though. But, action and railbirds definitely translate into table time and food drink sales. Pool players are cheap, but if people are in there, they are spending. Hard Times has it "down" because they have a "banger room" and a relatively well taken care of action room. I would think both are equally as important to the auroa and viability of the business though.

And perhaps it goes without saying, but the more action in a room, the better the players come in, and really the better all the players in the room are able to improve. I think that is the real key point here.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking about that. You are in Stockton which is out in the country. Not many places to play but they have a great County Fair. I was there in June and saw Tower of Power.

the asparagus festival is where the real fun is. or at least the real grub. fried asparagus and funnel cake all day!!!!
 
Given the new info provided by tightpockets I want to change my answer.

Get off the table,sit down,shut up and enjoy watching some good action.I didn't see this in the poll but I am quite certain it is the ONLY reasonable solution.


Did I mention every room should have an action table where no hard break games are played.....
 
throw them out

Take the table and throw the bums out..... Seriously it's kind of understood if someone wants to play a serious set like that u give up the main table. They would do the same for you....But u can pay the time for the night for both....u can pay each of them $20....tell the employee to move or go work somewhere else....Do what works.

They would not do the same for me or anyone else for that matter.
