Thank goodness I don't have my own table

If I had my own table, I wouldn't stop playing. This is a good thing.
 
I have a 7 foot Valley in my garage with 4 inch pockets. I play the 9 ball ghost and some racks of 8 ball about 3 days a week for an hour each time. I play a little more if my friends come over for a mini tournament. I'm happy I got the table. It is nice to be able to work on shots whenever you feel like it.
 
Gold Crown V. Lately I toss 7 balls out on the table (because that's how many I can fit in my hands), and play them in order. I've had other periods of nothing but straight pool, nothing but drills, etc.
 
I hate drills and don't do them often.

Play in 8 ball league so now I usually just play myself in 8 ball (just throwing balls onto table, no rack/break).

I grew up playing 9 ball so the most 'drills' I do are playing the ghost at 9 ball. I feel 9 ball forces me to play more cue ball control because the rotation forces less options than an open 8 ball table.
 
8' Bruinswick not sure of model. Usually do drills or play the 9ball ghost.

Practice sessions from 1-3 hours a day. Play as long as I'm enjoying myself

3 hours per day, 7 days per week...Weekends it's more like 6 hours each day. Diamond Blue Label 9' ProAm with 4 3/8" pockets. I'd play more, but I've got to work/eat/sleep sometime...
 
I won't vote because I don't play anymore, but when I did I would play around 40-45 week, and this was with a 50+ hr/week job. I could only do that for 3-4 months at a time though and then I would slow down to 5-10 when I was hitting them really well.

Inevitably now at age 32, I work 70+ and would rather spend my time doing something else. But I do make sure the table is always clean:thumbup:
 
9 foot GC1
Buckets for pockets for now.
At least an hour a night, usually while I do laundry.
Run drills, practice patterns. Run out the same rack over
and over again.
No one is invited, play my son most weekends.

It is a good practice table, needs some rail work but gets the job done.
 
It goes in spurts! Sometimes it's 5hrs a week for a year, then something happens and you might play 30hrs a week for a year. I had to slow down the past 5 years when my daughter got heavily involved with traveling sports, school etc. now that she's going to college it seems I have nothing but pool to kill time! So how much you play varies on your life/priorities
