"Ditto" Diamound 69
As an aspiring Tournament Pool Player (Dead Money... ;-) ) I play every tournament that I can and I can say that Dave and his staff are nothing but a class act. I always talk the Carom Room "Up" to any inspiring Tournament Pool Players or any Pool Player, who are interested in a professional very competitive atmosphere. I use my performance ( or lack there of, ;-) ) at his tournament as a yard stick to how my game is progressing ( or digressing ), At his Monthly "Non-Master" Tournaments, he draws top notch competition from all over the Midwest (Iowa, Minn, MO, Ind, IL, etc ).
Since Dave is a premier top notch player himself, besides being a genuinely "Nice Guy", he has the utmost respect of all the players. As I say, when I speak to people about him & his supporting cast. " He doesn't let the inmates run the asylum " And I'm sure we can all relate to that !!
The food is great with daily specials and were not just talking about your normal "Bar Bites" at very reasonable prices.
I always enjoy my time there. no matter what my performance and usually hang around
after I get "Bounced" to watch many of the premier matches.
