You said it pretty well. I had a chance to play a little $10 entry 9 ball tournament tonight.
Went in, hit balls for about 10 minutes, turned around and came home.
Besides, my wife is coming in from Houston just anytime and suspect I dam well better be here.
Uh oh... I must be getting old :embarrassed2: .

There was a TV show I wanted to watch at 9pm so I sat in the recliner & just woke up. Missed most of it & decided to get on the computer.
The only time I'm playing at night any more is if/when I'm still alive in a tournament. Hard Times in Sacramento turns into date night in the evenings and I can't fade two or three couples playing on each side of me anymore. I will be raring to go on Sunday and go to the 9 ball tournament and I hope I make it to the evening. That will mean I'm in the money. John Henderson
Even to some of the younger folks, it's not worth going to a room where there are going to be bangers on all sides (4-8 per table). Sometimes you just want to play with no distractions, and play your best game.
It's not possible when Joe Six-Pack on the next table is constantly launching pool balls at you. In that case, it's not even worth playing.

Michael-----wishes there was a room close by where people keep the balls on the table.........mostly.

weekend nights
For the longest time I would play pool every night of the week except Fri,Sat.
Now there is a pool room with a great tourney on Fridays and a small casino just started doing a Saturday night tourney :smile:
Unfortunately I can not make either this weekend
I don't go near my regular pool room on these nights as it turns into a night club or some such thing.

Action is down
There is just not much good action to be had anymore. And by action, I mean tournaments and money games. Either the tournaments are geared for the bangers and do not pay s**t, or everyone wants the orange crush to play, and for a $25 set.
And to put it frankly, it is more trouble than it is worth.

It is the modern world. Things will never be like they were again.
We had a stranger in the pool room the other day who said he was looking for action. He finally asked me to play some 1-pocket and I asked what he wanted to do. He said he wanted to play for $10 a game. I said no thank you and went home.
What was so funny was that when he said $10 a game, 3 others asked him to play.

amen to what this man said. yep that's about how many times i had to make that face the other night. i was just trying to shoot simple stupid apa nine ball and the teenie bopper club behind me kept launching ball after ball in our direction. i am not one for violence but i have to admit i was tempted to "accidently" send the cue ball into orbit on a random break.
mostly, my mom says the bangers come out at night, mostly.
Yesterday I played straight pool with a neighbour. He used to hang out in the pool rooms of New York City, but hadn't played in years. He's 82. He still shoots straight, but couldn't make his fingers form a closed bridge.
So if you want to play, you got to keep playing.

They all wear black T shirts?

You read my mind! lol I don't know about where you guys live, but where I'm at there is absolutely no reason for a serious pool player to be in the poolroom on the weekend nights(unless you are single, drunk and scoping for the opposite sex!)PoolBum said:
