Where to play in Greenville, SC

When I was living in Jacksonville, Fl in the early 90s, word filtered out that Gametime was having crazy action. I remember Butch Croft telling me some crazy stories of how he was there and saw the owner (I guess Hodges) staking Tony Watson in some crazy games. Butch told me that they were betting sky high and after every game Hodges would yell out "who wants to bet more??!!!" He was afraid to go bet more because he was certain at any point with the side getting so high that business was going to happen.

Maybe a few folks on here that were there during the heyday of Gametime can give us a few stories.
 
Just got in form Gametime / Sporties as it's known now. Really nice place very much like what I'm used to back home, only a looser type of vibe.

I got there around 6:30pm and played for 3 hours with a guy who was there, he played at a decent speed but I prevailed overall finished with about 14 wins to his 6.

Has about 18 tables 15 9ft. Gold Crowns & 3 7ft. Valley's all in good condition, clean well maintained cloth in good condition tables good speed but not too fast. We'll see how things progress over the next few day's while I'm here, looking forward to some stiffer competion.

Things must have changed from a few months ago. There were 13 Gold Crowns and 5 bar tables when I was there last, or so I believe. Two more GC would be better, in my opinion, anyway. I'll be going up for Shannon's tournament in a couple of weeks.

It's possible that I could have miss counted, :eek: But, I did have great time, that much is for certain. :cool: I'm looking forward to continued play there while I'm in town. I'd recommend the spot to anyone, and actually I plan to. :cool:
