Not that I don't play for all the other reasons too.
But, I just Love the game and enjoy being around most of the people who play it well or talk it even better.
One hole, 14.1, 9-ball, 10-ball, Snooker, 8-ball...I love them all.
Heck I have even been known to play GOLF on a the 10' snooker tables but without all the wind and rain. (I think BPG24 will appreciate this one)
LOL
If all I get in return from this game is the self satisfaction of learning something new or just having a good time...I am happy.
It also led me to all of you. Don't know what I would do without my AZ fix each day.
