Pool! Pool! Pool!
I'm a grad student and instead of focusing on my research in my major... i spend a lot more time researching in pool. But to be honest, I try to research pool from more of a physics point of view to improve my game... But nevertheless... my life is definitely ruined.

Exactamondo! I am 27 and started playing when I was 23 and got to a high level fast and got addicted to playing in tournaments anyday anytime there was one available. Taking down the big pots was the next high persay. I drug my wife through stuff that I didnt realize I was dragging her to. She just wanted to be around me so she came all the time. She also became a great pool player and finished top 9 in ladies and we finished top 8 out of 140+ teams at our Valley State championships this year.
I am lucky to have a loving companion like that but now that she is 6 months Pregnant I have allready changed my life to just play pool for fun and the occasional tournament. I am SUPER lucky that she stuck with me and got knee deep into my hobby with me! - now im just glad I have my own pool table at home with a lil shark on the way :thumbup:
Pool actually gave me life. I was fascinated by the game, the atmposphere and the characters the first time I ever set foor in a poolroom. Pool led to other forms of gambling which I was very successful at and never had to work a day in my life. Never having to BE somewhere at a certain time has made it all worthwhile to me. I wouldn't change a thing!:smile:
I'l be 65 in Oct. Play 3-4 hours every day, play all games and play em all pretty good. Favorite game and the best of all cue games: one-pocket.

Pool has taught me a bunch. I grew up in a pool hall, my dad owned a room. I played a lot until my early 20's. I love the game, but hate the lifestyle. After seeing so many great players who have nothing at all, I found out I wanted more for myself. It's funny saying this now, because, when I was 21 all I wanted was to play pool for a living.
There are a lot of great pool players who didnt do anything with their lives except shoot pool. Now that they are older and in poor health, i see friends and family begging for money because most went broke. It's really sad to see some of the greats in this predicament but they chose it.
