Would you please stop:

Talking loud and distracting the players.
Laughing out loud .
Asking either player "what's the count/score?"
Sitting or standing in the shooters line of vision(above all else)
Making certain sudden movements while a player is down on the ball.
Woofing at either player(while they are in action)
Acting like you're entitled to backers(private) talks with a player(just because you're betting on the side)
Acting like you are the players backer.
Clapping or cheering after every shot.
flashing your cash obnoxiously(visibly for either player)
Acting like you're Efren"oh yeah I play really good from the rails"(know it all)
Having your cell phone go off every 2 minutes.Answer the damn phone!!

Btw,I have played under all of those conditions above and some far worse than that...That was just my spin on it.:) :D :p
 
Good luck finding any action in a church.

That's where you find your wishes and will, at the very least, be in your Comfort Zone.

Last time I was on the moon *** i just got back from the moon thread*** there were no railbirds. There was also no cell phone reception which also kept those nasty ringtones out of the equation. You should head back to the moon for your gambling sessions.
 
hahahahahahahahahaha

You would'nt believe it but the railbirds are even worse on the moon!:) :)
 
I've been fortunate over many years to play where most of this stuff wasn't tolerated. Or, at least, it was nipped in the bud right after it got started. The behavior I've seen in most public rooms in this area of South Carolina makes me cringe, sometimes.
 
change sports

Too bad things aren't like they SHOULD BE. But we can dream. :D
 
A good player will not be distracted by anything.



Ps: You are forgetting one important distraction
*being a damn hot girl, wearing a sexy outfit, standing in front of you =P.
 
Well you know............

All distractions are'nt bad ones my friend ....Jenn B. could "distract" me anytime!!!:) :)
 
...and
Do not snake games while people are trying to match up. To the guy you're trying to play, "Hey, I'll give you the 7."

Do not loiter around the table.

Do not volunteer your opinion on a good hit, a rule, etc. Your opinion is not wanted or needed. If I want you to have an opinion, I'll give you one. Stay out of the game. LOL

Do not attempt to handicap another's match, unless its just a friendly game and it's obvious that it's appropriate.

If you're playing in a league, watch your decibel level or take up bowling. LOL

Show me a pool room that doesn't have any bangers playing or drinking or anyone else in the bar area drinking and having a good time and I will show you a failing business that won't be around for long. The fact is that a pool room cannot sustain on pool time alone. They need some other areas to generate revenue such as food and especially alcohol. I laugh every time I see two pool players playing for 20 or 50 dollar sets and getting upset when a group of college kids get put at the adjacent table and the rest of the room is full. Its like they think they are more important to the pool business because they come in and pay 8 bucks an hour and buy a couple of cokes. Conversely, the college kids come in and bang it around for an hour or two while purchasing 50-60 bucks in alcohol. The bottom line is this: learn to deal with the distactions of being in a pool hall or don't gamble at all. I've played for a lot of money in the pool room and on the golf course and almost nothing bothers me when I'm playing.

Good points all...as far as clapping goes? I once attended a WPBA show...before the cameras rolled, we in the audience were asked to clap and cheer after a good shot. It made for better TV. I just wished that the chubby lady sitting next to me would quit with her shrill whistle in my ear.
 
So I should quit yelling "Da#$, you suck!" during $100 dollar sets between two "C" players? Hey, if I can't have action, what else am I gonna do? What about this, in golf and pool. "Hey putter, putter, putter, PUTT!" "Shooter, shooter, shooter, SHOOT!" We'll see who can concentrate. If a bunch of ten year olds can do it, why can't someone do it for fifty thousand? I guess next you'll ask me to stop doing the wave at the US Open? What is this Nazi stuff?
 
I have a customer who is a real good player. He said he wouldn't know how to play if the music wasn't blasting, the air wasn't filled with smoke so bad your eyes burned, the drunks weren't yelling (or flashing), girls weren't running into him as he was walking around the table for the next shot, and there was really enough room between the tables. He honestly doesn't seem to have much problem with all the distraction.
 
That would be nice but highly unlikely

I have never seen a railbird turn off his phone to sweat a match.That would be a little too much like "the right thing to do".

Just answer the phone when it rings and politely excuse yourself is all I ask for.
