Nothing wrong with a GC1. Dont know what the other 2 9'ers are and neither will the rec players.

Imperials are junk Chinese made tables, myself and a lot of other table mechanics won't even work on them. What do you think the chances are the GC1s have been rebuilt, because if they haven't, they'll play just like the rest of the junk GC1s today do. Great tables though, if they're rebuilt. How many Russians live in the area?

What are you, a dealer in Diamonds? Sheez..it's a new pool room for crissakes...and you don't have to make that long trip just to play on equipment you deem unsuitable.

For thinking you know something, did I mention DIAMOND even once before just NOW? In case you didn't know it, there's plenty of newer GCs on the market used that the owner could have bought and replaced those junk imperials with, but it tells a lot about a new owner opening with junk...either has no idea what he's getting into, don't care about the potential players, or just can't afford better equipment, in which case, he's already off to a bad start.

If I turn out to be right, I guarantee you, I won't get ONE stinking apology from a single one of you, because you ALL hate to be wrong, and CAN'T admit when you are....because then you'd have to accept the fact that you don't know shit, you only THINK you do!

Why would anyone open a new pool room today with such outdated equipment, it's no wonder the pool rooms have closed down in your area.

Give me your most successful plan for opening a billiards parlor/restaurant/bar.

Not kidding. Give it to me.

I doubt they are going to be holding any big events where "Pros" care that its over priced diamond tables. If people want a place to shoot and drink it will do fine, even with 6 valley buckets

Good luck getting anything that resembles a reasonable response from that request. Answer - No time available to respond with a meaningful thought due to the effort required assuming you're the smartest guy in the room..

With 6 Valley bar tables they would have better chance. And what do the Pros have to do with anything, no pool room would stay in business if they relied on Pros for customers...even if the Diamonds were FREE to play, you don't know shit!

Key west hasn't had a pool room in 7 years - and the most recent room was a joke.

Shooterz billiards and lounge will be open (supposedly) on Superbowl Sunday for its grand opening.

Room has 3 - GC 1's, 2 - 9' Imperials, and 1 12' Russian Imperial. It's not huge, but we're a small town with super-premium space. There is action in town, but they've crawled into the weeds after the last room closed down....they'll be back.

Come check us out!

Feel free to contact me if you want additional info.

I just read your tag line at the bottom of the post. It’s like you knew this would draw out that snake from under his rock!

We keep reading about rooms closing around the country, so it’s great news to hear of one opening. I hope I can get there this summer and check out that 12’ table. I played on one a long time ago at Boca Billiards but can’t temember seeing one since. As expected a KW room is gonna be just a little different than everywhere else. But don’t worry, the snake spends most of his time in The Garden of Eden when in KW. We’ve all seen that guy at the end of the bar.

That's the mentality I can bet on, gambling always determines the quality of a pool table! Tell you what, you pay my 6,000 mile round trip cost and you got action:rolleyes:

So, in other words, your participation at the NEW pool room for a short visit is going to be enough to keep the room open for the next year, I get it;)
