I'm just curious MikeF, besides not getting any action worth your time( I'm guessing you would prefer anywhere from $100 to $1000 sets) and not finding "hot chicks" in a pool hall, what other reasons would you use as substantial evidence that "Pool in Iowa Sucks"?
Iowa isn't known for wealthy,bad pool players w/ hot wifes that come to the local pool hall to watch thier man lose money.
I'm guessing your 'experience' about pool in iowa stems from a single incident. Someone left a bad taste in your mouth? Its too bad your image of 'Pool in Iowa' is of just that.
Maybe try a different approach....
1. play in a local tourney.
2. lose to a person you shouldn't have.
3. stand up on a chair and tell the whole room that you will give them the 6 out for a grand!
oh, wait... someone has already tried that in 'Iowa' and it didn't work.
If you don't think you can stumble across the 'right' action, feel free to 'create' some. People from Iowa are very creative!
As for the women, try a supermarket or a target or a library. I'm thinking that a pool hall isn't the place you wanna pick up a lady and take her home to momma.
if the people going to his pool hall only want to play 5 a game and quit after losing 20 who can blame him for thinking pool there sucks? i'd be pretty upset too.
