Playing for cash money in 2025?

[Mensabum]

In my experience most league players won't bet that fat meat is greasy. Bet enough that it hurts to lose it. That could be a little or lot depending on your bankroll and the size of your nuts.

I hear guys talking shit about wishing they could play some winner breaks rollout, but asa you try to make a game, they shut up. I don't get it.

Does that apply to step-sisters?

So long as they joined the family after the age of consent, no.

if you are a regular in a pool room
you should already know who gambles and for how much and what games
if you plan on walking into a room cold "to find action"
just walk up to someone get yourself a game and work out how much to play for
make it an amount that wouldnt hurt you financially with losing a few sets (although after the first set you should have an idea of your chances of winning.......unless your opponent is stalling and you dont realize it)
or at least until you got to break twice in onepocket

All you gotta do is check Fargo and go from there. You'll know exactly who and what you're playing. There's no mystique anymore. Kinda taken some of the fun out of it.

50 to 100 a rack if I know they won't quit me up a couple games

500 to 1000 a set if I know its a good game and they won't quit me up a couple sets....mimimum 3 sets

Hardest part of action is finding it.
People have no heart or are broke...

If you find someone who will play for decent money, do all you can to accommodate them. Increase the handicap if they can't win.

Pretty much have to travel to get anything decent for action. I drag myself to Super Billiards every year to play a few guys that I know gamble correct. Usually find a new one each year. If Derby wasn't such a long drive, I'd go again...best action I ever seen.

Everybody quits now. It's real work to hook a guy solid anymore. Not that many around. They're all on the boat dammitt!!!

Wish I had known this a long time ago. Just enter a Fargo reported tourney and dump hard.

9

I’m surprised to hear that. I’m not far from the StL area and figured it still a hot bed for 1-pkt.

I watch $20 - $50 games everyday. I don’t play 1-pkt well, so I don’t play but I watch.

9 ball has taken a hit tho bcuz of all the leagues now, around here. I've been trying unsuccessfully to get a ring game going for months with no success. They're my crack. And a helluva lot of fun with the right players. Don't need to eviscerate, 5 and 10, ya know??

yea when someone calls me a nit. which i am certainly not or they don't know what a nit is.

i almost always tell them to empty out their pockets and ill flip a coin with them for all of it. if you wont now, who is the nit.

Based on your posting history you probably would never flip the coin once they accepted because you are not the favorite.

Normally 9 ball. Race to 4 or 5 for $20. Some players only want to play 8 ball but it’s the same bet. Im only really playing for fun and with people I generally know. Losing $100 isn’t going to hurt but we’re also all pretty friendly with each other and not trying to create bad vibes between us. Sometimes we just play races to 3 for snacks or drinks from the vending machines lol. They’re like $2 each.

If people want to set up a larger race it can be done but everyone is generally just looking to add pressure and not rob anyone.

I have a standing Friday night nine ball ring game with 4 buddies. A buck on the 5 and $2 on the 9.

We take turns buying the round of drinks and if someone wins $40 it's a huge win..

It's a blast,
