All makes sense
What every one is saying makes sense to me. I think for the most part a "pro" player as most of understand it, is just to good for most of us to beat on almost any day, especially if a race is over 3. So if I was that good I would only want to play other "pro" players, Our pool hall closed so most in my hick town are stuck going to a bar to play on poorly kept 7' tables. There is usually a 9 Ball tournament there on Friday night that is a race to 3 with a $10:00 entry fee. It draws around 10 to 14 players that are not the best, but seem to enjoy the game. I don't play in it very often as me or another guy almost always win it if we play and it has to be discouraging to most of them. Consistently playing against less skilled players and beating them up on a table is not fun to me. So unless a "pro" is really hard up for cash I can't wrap my head around them playing in amateur tournaments. It's kind of like why men don't play in the women tournaments, but women play in men tournaments. But, as we all know, different strokes for different folks!
