When you can encounter the "PROs" in the very same pool rooms the rest of us deadwood player shoot in and they are there cunducting themselves in the same way the rest of the yahoos are for chump change, how do you suggest there be a line in the sand?
When was the last time you saw Michael Jordan down the ghetto hustling one on one with the locals? Or when have you saw the Williams sisters over on the highschool courts playing deadwood players for $20 a serve? How about Tiger Woods hustling down at the municipal course for $5 a hole?
So, yes there is most definately a division between pros and deadwoods. Just NOT in pool.
And that is because of the way we as players conduct ourselves and our sport.

Because Golf and all the other sports figures people like you try to compare pool to as "why don't pool players get paid as much as so anD so....look at the millions they make!!!

It's because no one of the sports you could ever mention....carries with them, on the payrole....a bunch of sniveling, whining, cry babies that INSIST that the rules of tournaments be changel as to give YA'LL a chance to play with the "PRO'S " or you none of you will pay your entry fees to get into pool tournament....because you all know the majority of the prize money is made up of your stupid entry fees!!!



Only the top 125 players, as ranked by tournament winnings, get to keep their magic “tour card,” which allows them to enter any of the PGA Tour's official events. This is the preeminent men's golf tour in the U.S.—and arguably the world.Feb 8, 2012

And, just like the OP of this, he'd rather blame the pockets on his table being to tight, or something wrong with them which is why he misses shots....rather than admit his game sucks and he don't want to put in the time and effort to improve and stop missing those shots!!!!!

I guess you didn't know Michael Jordan likes to gamble playing Golf for money....Stick that.in your pipe and smoke it. When you thow examples of people holier-than-thou as if it brings you some kind of credibility.....know something about them first!!!
 
For the most part, bottom line is- " You can't get robbed in a poolroom unless you're
looking to rob somebody yourself ".
 
The reason these other atheletes make more money is because the public is actually interested in investing into their sport. Not so with pool. We are viewed as white trash.
I think i mentioned that Michael Jordan wouldnt be cought dead shooting freethrows with you for pennys a shot. You are right. He dont NEED the money. Why is that? Oh thats right...people actually respect his talent and have showed it with real earnings!
If he gambles elsewhere on other things has nothing to do with my point.
Bottom line, pool will NEVER EVER be accepted by the main stream public because of the trashy reputation we have given it. Sad huh. Want that to change? Stop being dirt bags.

If you feel a need to prove how good you are, put up a fee and play in a tournament or league. Heads up contest, best man wins. Instead, we slink around watching and looking for lesser players and conceal our skill level to clean out their pockets, then act as though we did something. I grew out of that a couple decades ago. My integrity is worth more than their $5, $50, or $500 a rack.
Plus, i dont need the money. I have a real job.

Pool has never been main stream because there's way to many league players that want to be included in that main stream viewing th as t don't deserve to be there, like you.

Robbed? No one gets robbed playing pool for money because no one is forced to play pool for money....that's a personal choice to gamble....don't you frigging get it....or are you NOT intelligent enough to accept those facts?
 
RKC,

I agree with you on the topic being discussed in the original post, but your arguments about why "Pro" pool is where it is at make no sense. People filling out tournament brackets and league players are somehow standing in the way of "Pro" pool? How does that even make sense? None of us amateur players are standing in the way of higher powers organizing for the greater good of pool. How the hell could we even do that? It has nothing to do with the common man, whether or not someone tries to organize a "Pro" tour. With out people who have delusions of grandeur, tournament purses would be smaller. Without league players you have no one to sell your product to.

I can understand the argument that having lesser players in big events can blur the public image of how good the "Pro's" are in comparison to the average joe. When someone in a "Pro" tournament plays like an average joe, an uninitiated individual will say "wow these pro's aren't very good!". However, they are not stealing spots from more qualified players. If they weren't there the spot would be empty and the purse would be smaller. A smaller purse means less incentive for the "pros" to show and so on and so forth. So the people who you think are somehow standing in the way of pool, are absolutely vital to the game as it stands now. There is something wrong with "Pro" pool and it is not the things you rambled on about.
 
Erhino is spot on. This cobra guy has way too much time on his hands judging from how many posts he has made. He obviousely needs the $5 so a job might be out of his reality at the moment. I dont know this guy so i wont try to insult him as he has attempted to do to me.
If you love the game and want to see it flourish, bring some honor to it by cleaning up its rep. Dont set in the poolhall looking at other tables for easy money. Thats just petty.
This is JUST a game, it shouldnt define who we are.
If you plan to make statements about me, you should at least know something about me. The fact that you said things you know nothing about leads me to wonder just how good a hustler you really are as you dont seem too bright.
Facts..
1 I cant stand smoke or scummy people
2 Bars are not my scene, so i guess your assumption i am some weak league player should league player is now in question.
3 Lastly, i play MY game every game. If i am going to run out on you, im going to just do it. I have no reason to disguise my skill level. I play because i love the game. I dont need your $5.

Moral of the story is, folks agree to gamble. Yes. But noone would gamble with a guy that is known to be far more skilled. That is unless the shark has decietfully lead the fish to believe otherwise.
Because this is woven into the fabric of pool, our game will never go beyond what ever little hole you play in.
Hell, even Poker is now global now. Why is that? Because its heads up. No deciet. You either win or loose. Bluffing is part of the game.

Lots of players pay to play in the US open 9ball championship, many with NO chance of winning a dime.....why is that, if not to have the chance to say they played so an so? Do you actually think I'm a $5 player...LOL....I've had the same job for the last 33 years, how long have you had yours?

I just looked at all your posts.....you USE to be a cue maker...LMAO....that better than hustling someone on a pool table for money....LMAO There's a lot of use to be's surrounding this game!
 
Dude, seriousely. Just go back to your hole. There are lots of cuemakers. And like pro players, there are lots of folks realized there is no real money in this, we just do it for the love of the game. The fact that you have had the same job for 33 years tells us that you yourself are not good enuf to support yourself on the table. It also tells us that by this ongoing defense of hustling lesser and unsuspecting players for a dollar, your chosen career might not be all that profitable either.
So lets just agree to disagree. A few of us will work to spread billiards by teaching and promoting it in a positive way. While the rest of you will suck the life out of these new players one dollar at a time until they take up crocheting and leave spreading a bad message about our sport. Hows that? Wonderful life's achievement sir!
You are so worked up about these facts that you cant even organize your attacks into a single readable post.
Are you that no toothed guy the news always interviews after the tornado takes out the trailer park?
You said yours, i said mine. Now find someone to rob and move on.

Skins, this is a thread about dishonesty. If your buddy makes a living on or around tables i would be willing to bet hes the guy that cleans up the tables between customers. Or some maintenance type. But true to the stereotype, he has insinuated he is a player/hustler.
To tell a guy youll do all the talking and he would be feeling what you are talking about confirms the cheap dime store pettyness.
For all we know the OP is 7 foot tall and a rock solid 400 pounds.
Yup. Pretty sure this guy sweeps felt and throws away empty beer cans. Its always the guy with 12,000 posts that tries to tell others how it is when its obvious he lives behind the keyboard.
 
MAN Witnessed sad action last night

Let me ask you something if you think you're so damn smart to throw around the names of Pro's from other sports as if that gives your bullshit some kin of validation. Did basketball start out with PRO'S? Did baseball start out with PRO'S? Did golf start out with PRO'S? How about football, did that start out with PRO'S? YOU and the mentality of everyone like you, by the millions are the set back to pool becoming a real sport. Pool is older than all the sports Isited above, and yet.....400+ years later, is still so unorganized it's sickening, and it's all because of property like you, because you refuse to show this sport the respect it deserves.....and get the hell out of the way and let there be some organization brought forth that DOES separate players by skill level so that there's no doubt that if someone is called a Pro, it's because they've earned that right! Not to be mistaken by someone who just simply says....I play at Pro level....because you can beat everyone at your local bar. When someone asks, what does it take to be a Professional pool player....instead of 35 pages of bullshit answers and ideas, the answer would be as simple as....show the world you have more skills that the top 128 players in the world currently holding the rank of "PRO" status!!!! That my dear boy is what draws the line between SEMI-PRO....and "PRO"....leaving the rest of the worlds players in the sandbox with the rest of us "AMATEURS " THEN, AND OLNY THEN will this sport have a chance of gaining the sponsors it so richly deserves making PROFESSIONALS the money and endorsement deals they've earned, just like all other PROFESSIONAL SPORTS FIGURES!!![/QUOTE

There is no money in POOL poor mans game the money is in
Snooker where the players make millions if they are good
