Update on the Des Moines pool scene

One pocket

Is there still a one pocket tournament at Big Dog's on Saturdays? If so, how many players have they been getting, when does it start, how long does it last, etc. I might head down Saturday if there is one. Thanks.

Yes, four players average. They play round robin. Starts around 12:30 and takes 4 hours i am thinking.
 
I haven't really heard any woofing from the league teams yet, or even some recent action in Des Moines besides the Dan/Pet match recently...what's up with that? It's almost winter.
 
Get out more :)

There's been action.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. Usually by now there is at least some smack talk on here so I was just curious on why so much silence. I do need to get out more. I haven't been to big dogs since the Tom Rossman gig.

No more smack talk.

I've been playing some big sets. Justin might be matching up this weekend. The normal $20/$50 sets.

Plus you get out, just not to play pool :(

When you supposed to find out about the poker TV thing ?
 
Who plays in the tournament usually? What is the entry fee? Pretty good chance I will be there Saturday. Last time I played one pocket was against Justin last spring? Could be interesting.

They just emailed me yesterday, our video didn't get picked. I can resubmit again if I requalify, but I doubt I will try. I just was dinking around passing time the last time. When is your next poker game? As for the getting out....yeah I know. I haven't come up with a game plan for training yet. I have some time, just not a plan.

Justin/Mikey H/Flip/Shannon/Me/Steve/Theo are some of the usuals.
 
Dan said he will play some one pocket with you Justin if you play something on the bar table too, 8-ball or 9-ball or 10-ball. For just one pocket action he would want a little weight to play only that game since he never ever plays it.

OK, I'll take the 6 and the break on the bar table and play even one pocket. Or we could just play the game you asked me to play.
 
About the Saturday one pocket tournament:

Big Dog's is thinking of having a big table 9 or 10 ball tournament on Saturdays at noon and then on the last Saturday of the month having one pocket. The turnout of 4 players a week for one pocket isn't what they are looking for.

Just relaying what I was told. I can careless. I personally think he can play that game but his opinion differs for his own reasons. New offer is give up a ball in one hole...

If not no hard feelings. Not everyone enjoys one pocket and he said that game frustrates him. You play good its a compliment.
 
Whatever Frost. You are the one who asked for the game. I said that I would play him.

It's not that big of a deal to me. I'll still get plenty of one hole action this weekend.

There's plenty of action for everyone as long as both people think they're stealing.

I just broke a guys' 25 game winning streak.

You may bow to me...
