Hotels with pool tables

[Mensabum]

The amazing thing is that everyone likes it!

Damn straight!!!

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

I like Canadian power trios better. Does that count??

I stayed in a hotel in Albany (or maybe it was Buffalo...can't remember) that had an attached bar with one crappy bar box. But there were only two cues, and neither one had a tip.

I played a race to 7 one night with a cue just like that!! Boy, was that ever fun!! Anything but center ball glanced off.

Yes, I went to GR Solaris in Cancun, Mexico and they had two bar sized tables.

This was before I got into pool (late 2023), but I still had a good time.

This is a room in the penthouse suite in the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco. Sadly, the table is not up to the quality of the setting.

Did you play on this table? If so, did you rent the room specifically for the pool table?

I was the pool demo guy at a corporate event. I shared the room with a tarot card reader. About half of the rubber on one end rail was detached.

So you are saying if I want a high deflection cue that I should peel the tip off??

I have more questions.

Finding a tarot card reader seems straight forward. How does a corporate event planner find a pool demo guy? I am curious about the experience. Were you there to encourage games or what sort of role did they have in mind? How did the tarot card reader get sequestered to the pool table?

Seriously???? The LAST thing on my mind booking a hotel is 'does it have a pool table". A decent place to shit-shower-n-shave yes but a pool table? I can honestly say i've never seen such a place. Did stay in one that had a attached bar with a couple shitty Valley's but that's it.

That would do the trick, yes.
If it's ivory, your totally screwed.
