I don't know too many people who play a decent speed that will play a race to 3 in anything except one-pocket, too short for comfort.
Play some?

tru dat. race to 3 too short. And 25$ a set isnt even gonna recoup gas money
For $25, a race to 3 doesn't seem out of line for a good player. That is, many good players wouldn't want to play a race to 7 for just $25.Fart sniffer said:
Lately I've been playing a "professional" from Japan some cheap sets, races to 7 for $20 or to 9 for $30, for practice. Anything shorter than that is not really good for what we want which is good practice, nice and cheap.
But I wouldn't consider a $25 race to 3 action, which is what Mood-dude eluded to and what I was really addressing.

Hi Neil,
You are correct in saying you don't know many people who play race to 3 for 25. I do though, unfortunately for my wallet, so, that was the game I played. So, so?

Are you serious? If I tell you will you even believe me? ARe you going to jot it down in your diary? Does it matter to me if you believe me or not? (no)
Why ask if it is not important? If you must know, PM me and I will tell you.
Well, lets take a good look here. You come here and say you're looking for action. You say you play too good to find any in your area, without giving up the 7, at least. You say you want to challenge yourself and just a bit later, you say you're looking for easy money. This is the double talk of which I spoke. You say you like to play pushout, but the game you describe is not pushout, but one-foul-ball-in-hand/Texas Express. I've haven't heard of the current game of 9 ball being called pushout, ever. This makes it sound like you've been playing with your friends for quite a while and that is what they call it, not knowing any better. You play better than your friends and they tell you that you should go on the road, which it sounds like they know nothing about, or they wouldn't be telling you that. What I'm hearing here is that your friends may play well and they may not. They may be bangers for all we know.
You're offered action, in your area, or within an 8 hour drive and you refuse the action for reasons unknown and say the drive {to where ever} is too far. And you want to go on the road?? What's the road, a mile down the street?? Ever go to Bill and Billies when it was open? You might have got your nose opened for you.
You could play Ryan, but he plays better than you {1speed} or you would have to show too much if you beat him??? You say you've got a bankroll and better yet, two backers, but Greenville, SC, Raleigh, NC, etc. are too far???
10 ball is rapidly replacing 9 ball among people who take the game seriously, for a good many reasons. You tell somebody that if they saw you break they wouldn't want to play, I think they'd like to see you get out a few times. And there are guys {and girls} out there who can lay down the lemon like nobody you ever saw. And Goddess forbid you find some old geezer who wants to play you some pushout. If you've never played it, and you obviously haven't, you'll get eaten alive.
I really hope you'll stick around and learn something, like the rest of us. But you sound like a pretender and we've seen a bunch of them.

For the next Florida Pro Tour stop? Going to try, I'm walking pretty well and playing well considering the circumstances but my finances are all over the place right now. Will try to gather up a sponsor or two to get some cash and head over that way, I love hanging out with you guys and hope to see you soon.

Well summarized. I have a little rule of thumb, if someone isn't making sense, or won't address things directly, I just pass, someone is in wonderland, and I don't need to be dragged along for the ride. Even if taking advantage of someone that is kind of kooky sounds like fun.

Did you make it to Top Hat yesterday? I know Henry was there gambling on the bar boxes and some other decent players showed up. Joe Cataldi will play you whenever you want, but you need to post for the action.
