On the bubble, however your posts are excellent and that counts for a lot in my book. Your table and cloth color also affirms your character and mind set. So I’m leaning to the old school side. How long a persons been in the pool world counts for more than how long they been on a site.Im probably medium school, joined in 2011

How long a persons been in the pool world counts for more than how long they been on a site. I got here a bit late as well, but in the early 2000’s I wasn’t doing much with pool.
I started playing on barboxes in 80 or 81. Went to the pool room in 85, All-In.Agree
also here just since 2010 or so-- so "site wise" a medium noob
since 1984 in the pool world all in all.
WOW! I used to have a cyber-crush on Laura Friedman if it's the gal I remember. Shhhhh!
You got 10 years on me, but similar story. After getting all kids through college, built a home with a room just for a Gold Crown. Haven't been around here a long time, but I appreciate the history. I was a helluva shot maker 40 years ago but I didn't know a damn thing about CB control. This is a lot of fun relearning the game I've longed to play daily once again. Nice to hear the stories of guys who've been around awhile.Started playing in a bowling alley in 1965 and then moved to poolrooms in 1966 at the age of 15.
Poolrooms are where the education really begins.
Taking public transportation around Philly to the different rooms.
In 1970 sold my Hoppe stick and Brunswick snap top case for what I paid for it....$50, and headed off to college.
School, work, family, raising kids, yadayadayada.
Got back in the game about 9 years ago after a 40 plus year layoff.
Almost everything about the game had changed especially the felt (cloth) and can't find very many 3 cushion tables anymore.
I remember when every room had at least one.
Have been a member here since 2014.
May they rest in peace, found some other platform, up to them, and good for them.Many of the Old Schoolers mentioned, or who chimed in first 5 pages of this thread. Are dead, banned, must have decided not to visit AZB and longer, or have new interests.
