Update on the Des Moines pool scene

Thanks alot Mike! I do it because I love it! I think the best thing about doing cue repair is the feeling I get from look of appreciation on the customers face when I hand them their cue back. Now that is PRICELESS!

This guy also puts on a nice leather wrap!

anyone seen my cues? I haven't seen them for more than a month. LOL

Besides playing in the Handicapped tourney at Big Dogs, I haven't touched my cues since ISPA!!! To be honest, I didn't touch them much at the Big Dogs either!!! :eek:


Poker Tourney tomorrow for those that don't have anything better to do!
 
Where is the poker tournament ?

My back is so screwed up right now i can't play pool for more than 15mins. :(

Bruce, you do amazing work on cues no doubt, you also make really good posts for selling cues. :)

Spimp, go pick up your shirt from the man .... how rude. :D

Justin is trying to get Don M back in stroke on a daily basis.

What are the specifics of this poker tourney, like buy in, rebuys, blind structure etc. I am highly inclined to play and get busted out quickly.

How is he doing? They playing at the Dog or at Don's place?

Bruce does indeed do some great work.

If all this dead money is coming to the poker tournament, i may have to come over...;)

... if only to donate myself.
 
Who's the best table mechanic in the Des Moines area? And will they come to Waterloo? :)

My table needs new cloth and some work on the slate seams. My husband wants to make it a DIY project, which I am not against, except that he approaches those things much differently than I and it could lead to a court battle (which is exactly why I don't play scotch doubles with him anymore!).

Suggestions? I expect to be ready to do this in the next couple of months.

Karla when I get a few minutes to myself I will PM you my opinion.

Hi Karla -

You might want to call Marc O. He travels the I35 corridor every couple weeks. You can reach him through Big Dogs
 
Tonights Poker Tourney

Its on hubbell. email or txt me for details. $50 buy in, low blind structure. No rebuys. Usually a cash game to follow.
 
Not pool related but Des Moines related...

Ron Paul and Tom Woods and Bob Murphy are in town tonight (Friday, 5/14) tonight at the Embassy Suites downtown.


Freedom helps pool, if anyone cares anymore.

Who won the 10ball last night? Good turn out? I'll make it there one of these days...

Don't know who won, id say there was 20-25 people. Was also the TAP tournament so that took some of the people away.

Funny quote of the night. "by the time i get in stroke, im out of the tournament"

I'm gonna guess that quote was by Paul Baker, Paul dropped several one liners last night.

"You can be a bad player with a good stroke if you are stupid, but you'll never be a good player with a bad stroke no matter how smart you are"

That's not word for word but he sure said something close to it.
 
Rex and Brad Baker both told me so. I think they are renaming Big Shots to Felt or something like that. 100% will be 4 9 footers there. Plus a room in the back with a poker table.

That place is like a mile from where I live....wasn't too motivated to go there when it was Big Shots, but this might be more motivation to play on the giant table, well giant to us small people.

Yes it's not far at all from me either. If only my drinks would be cheaper than $7 each this place would have the nuts.
