Hotels with pool tables

[sam74]

A 9' table is common in hotels here in the PI. Never a bar table!

I say post them up! When you get visitors to play in your home room they inevitably might be up past your bedtime and might have excess money to win/lose and need to know where to stay and play safely.

They're everywhere, even in many bars. Pool is the second biggest indoor sport in the country and the top players are sports heros. A lot, lot different than here.

Years ago I stayed at a cool hostel in Toronto, they had a bar box in the lounge. I didn't get to play. I would guess that most of these tables are not maintained well.

There was a time that I used to travel often to Hong Kong for work, I always stayed at this small boutique hotel, no pool table but there was a great pool hall a few minutes walk from it. I spent most of my free time there.

I agree a short walk is mighty fine over driving considering the potential consequences of driving when not on the natch. I always when traveling for work try to find something close within walking distance for pool urges. I got a mile walk to about 13-15 diamond bar tables and free roll holdem tournaments. Loving it while it's warm anyways.

What is the first rated indoor sport out of curiosity?

When I was in Manila some years ago, my cab driver from the airport asked me where I’ve from (Canada). He asked what I was looking forward to and I said I was hoping to see some good pool.

He got all excited and said “you’re from Canada! Alex Pagulayan, John Morra, Jason Klatt!”

There are people I play league with in Canada who couldn’t name 3 Canadian pros.

Pretty much anywhere you drive in the USA has motels that say "Pool" on their signs.

And I'm disappointed every time.

You have to be able to play in humid conditions...and bring your own balls.

Yep. Our top players are better known there than here.
