Ah, to be full of vim, vigor and a sh*t-ton of testosterone... I remember those nights reallllyyy well. What I always liked most was stopping at a Denny's or a Perkins or an IHOP at 7 or 8am and pigging out after playing all night long. 3 eggs over easy, wheat toast, grits with butter, salt and pepper, home-fries, bacon and 3 pancakes, heavy on the maple-syrup. Then blast one on the way home, get there, read part of the sports page, crash for 5 or 6 hours, then up, shower and back to the pool room.

It's a wonder I made it to 45.

I wanna go back and do it all again.

Sounds way too familiar! Big breakfast before going to bed and slept like a baby! :smile:. Get up and do it all over again, day after day, year after year.....until I got married and bought my first poolroom. Then EVERYTHING changed! :thumbup:

74! Bull ZHit. Not a day over 60. I've seen your lady and no man north of 60 can keep up with that.

I'm carding you next time I see you.

On to the topic. 53. Can go 6 hours before my attention starts to drift. One Pocket maybe 8 hours. No more all nighters.

Except for owning the room, me to a **T**!
 
I'm 61 now with a array of heath issues, bad back (often use a Tens unit), bad feet( have orthopedic shoes), bad knees ( roofing all my life- had over 50% of the cartilage taken out of the right knee-wear a brace) got carpel tunnel in both hands (wear a brace on my right hand when I break) I look like Frankenstein lol.

I remember going to see my friend John Shuput (Omaha John) We both had been out of the game for many years , he longer than me. He told me the first thing we have to do is work on our stamina . I'm doing ok with that I guess. In spite of my many physical problems I can play 4-6 hours with no problem, sometimes I play longer . I can by no means play as long as I could in my 20's. I would sometimes play for a couple day straight with no sleep and I didn't use any drugs, just Dr. Pepper, adrenaline and pure passion. Those days are long gone indeed.
 
Highly depends on the game for how long I can play + if it is a rotation game and I have to rack at all, the bending motion of reaching out with the rack and staying in that position to get the balls to rack right takes away a lot of my energy and ability.

Playing one pocket, I can play for a bit.
