I understand, but if you are spotting a player the breaks, than you do not know you can win (unless you know who you are up against). I think the break spot is a very big spot (maybe even bigger than offering just the 7 or 8 ball). I think that you had better know who you are offering a spot like that too (before making that big of a bet). Sounds like you are a very strong player (with a lot of experience, and confidence), so I guess that you already know how big of a spot the break is. I think that any strong B player is very capable of breaking and running out to the 7 ball, so I think that offering an unknown player the 7 out and the breaks is a pretty risky spot to offer to a player that you do not know (but I understand that some players are so strong that they are willing to take that gamble, if not betting too much).

Thanks for the replies. I wonder if you were referring to Justin Bergman (from the St. Louis area), but he is not really a kid anymore. I have seen Jonathan Hennesee and Eric Durbin play years back. They played really great, and I imagine they still do (but it has been over 10 years since I seen them play). I would love to see Hennesee play again. I heard he owns a pool room now in Manchester TN.

No, in Paducah he was refering to Skylar Woodward. Good young player. He can hang right in there with the best of them. We also have Hall of Famer Buddy Hall. Beat me 6 straight games of one pocket today for 10 a game with his new Meucci ...lol Where else can you say that.. Like banks? We have some world class bank players like Eddie Moore.You can can catch most of these guys any afternoon at Side Pockets and you can get various types of action.

He's gonna have to bet to get that spot. I'm not gonna give that weight for $5,$10 or even $20 a game. Races to 3 for $100 or $50/rack atleast.

Now your speaking my language. I said $50 a rack because that's all i figured you could afford. Races to 21 for 10k. And the money gets posted, not playing for owesies. Bring your cash to derby big boy.

pm me your name/contact info.
i'll do likewise.
 
I used to go with a friend to the weekly tournaments at Side Pockets. Very nice pool hall, and yeah, I know there is lots of action to be found there. Would love to see that Skylar Woodward play. I wonder if he is the same kid that I used to see in that area around 8 years ago. The kid that I seen at that time was around 12, and he was a pretty strong player for such a young player.

I imagine that you are referring to Ride The Rail billiards. I never knew that the really big names (like CJ Willey) went through there. I just know of Andy Quinn and Justin Bergman from St. Louis. Andy Quinn is such a great player. I wonder if he still plays as good as he did 10-15 years ago. I love Ride The Rail billiards. Great pool hall. I miss that place. I have not been there in around 14 years.

I second that. Ride the rail also has some decent bar boxes with fast cloth. They put on a great tournament on Thanksgiving weekend every year. Good place to play and action for all speeds for the most part.
 
I would love to live in St. Louis (and hang out at Ride the Rail billiards, and many of the other great pool halls in the St. Louis area), but I read that it is one of the most dangerous cities to live in. The hourly pool rates are also very high.

Ride the rail has been closed for about a year Brenden was talkin about either Hillsboro Billiards or Kenny's Bar and Grill.
