Ummm, no.
Tell me about garczar from Azbilliards forum
Short answer:
“garczar” is not a pro player, cue-maker, or industry figure. He’s a long-time
personality poster on the
AZBilliards forums — basically one of the recognizable “regulars” in the online pool subculture. If you read enough AZB threads (especially the Main Forum and Wanted/For-Sale sections), you inevitably run into him. What makes him notable is his posting style and longevity more than any competitive résumé.
Below is the real breakdown so you understand why people even know that username.
1) What AZBilliards is (context matters)
AZBilliards forums are the closest thing pool has to an old-school bulletin board — think:
- league captains
- gamblers
- cue collectors
- retired road players
- tournament railbirds
It’s not Reddit-style casual conversation; it’s a reputation-based community. Long-time posters develop recognizable identities, and a handful become quasi-celebrities inside that ecosystem. “garczar” is one of those.
2) His status on the forum
His account carries the
“AzB Silver Member” rank (a tenure/activity designation) and he has been posting for years across multiple topics.
He shows up in:
- cue buying/selling discussions
- scam warnings
- pro-tour debates
- Matchroom/WNT format arguments
- general pool culture threads
Example — warning about payment scams:
That’s very typical of him: blunt, opinionated, and zero sugar-coating.
3) His reputation (why people remember him)
He’s known for three specific traits:
A. Extremely direct / abrasive posting style
He talks like a poolroom rail — not like a moderated social media user.
Short sentences, sarcasm, insults, and profanity are common. For example, in a scam thread he called the perpetrator a “scumbag” and said he confronted him directly.
That style makes him:
- entertaining to some
- obnoxious to others
- recognizable to everyone
B. “Old-school poolroom” perspective
He typically represents the traditional American pool crowd viewpoint:
- anti-scammers
- skeptical of internet cue sales practices
- critical of Matchroom decisions but pragmatic about influence (“email them directly, forum posts won’t change anything”).
C. Longevity
He’s been around long enough that users literally notice when he disappears:
People posted threads asking where he went and hoping he was okay.
That only happens to posters who’ve been part of the forum culture for years.
5) What he is
This is important because people outside AZB sometimes misunderstand:
He is
not
- a touring professional
- a commentator
- an AZBilliards staff member
- a known gambler like Keith, Scott Frost, or SVB rail figures
He’s essentially a
high-visibility railbird/enthusiast — but in pool culture, long-time railbirds often carry influence because they:
- know equipment
- follow tournaments closely
- have been around players and rooms for decades
6) Why AZB users talk about him
On AZBilliards, reputation is earned through consistency and personality.
Garczar is memorable because he:
- posts often
- argues without backing down
- takes strong anti-scam positions
- speaks like a real pool hall regular (not internet-polite)
In other words — he’s part of the forum’s “cast of characters.” Every old forum develops them.
#4 referred to your health situation so I decided to remove that out of respect.
