Teacherman, most of your posts, if not all in this thread are out of line. If you take the thread starters information for truth, which you have no reason not to. Oh wait there is that you've seen it all thing you have going on.

The only conclusion is that it was a bum deal.
One Shot, with the lights on. Not one more rack, not one more set, just one shot.
Teacherman you sound alot like a tired, bitter and argumentitive Person. maybe your poolhalls arent the investments they once were or maybe a little more work then what you wanted. So now you feel the need to badger everyone who enjoys the game. If this post would have been about the struggles of pool room ownership, or how the leetches destroy a poolroom. most of your posts would have been enlightning and truthfull but thats not what the original post was about.
Since every story has 2 sides let me see if I can guess the other side of your story. " You seem to be able to, for anyone you see fit "
Lets see, middle 50's Tired of working hard for not quite the investment you had invisioned when you opened your poolhalls. Tired of getting offered the "5 and out" from
punks that have only been playing for 6 months The same game you have been trying to get good at for the last 30 years. Tired because you have to work behind the counter each night, because your trust level is so low you can't bring yourself to let someone count the register other then youself. Tired of the people in your poolroom who have gotten good enough to know there is better maintained and more knowledgable poolroom across town. Tired of getting on your hands and Knees because bubba and bugger can,t find the 5 ball laying ontop the ball return rail. Tired because when you close your eyes you just can't find your "Happy Place" like you once could.
Ok now, no need to argue here. I'm right because I met at least one guy like this before so this must be the mold you fit into. If not, thats ok to, What do I care what I write about you ? you don't care what you write about anyone.
