Playing Pool...

LTs SSR · 05-16-2008, 09:15 PM

I grew up playing pool..Parents have a table.. & since I'm house sitting for them..Thought I'd try see if I had some of the old moves... but it has been YEARS since I really played... you know what... I am terrible!!!
So where do you play?

I guess in my dreams, cuz I suck at pool

In our family/game room.

Not as good at photography as you, but here's where we play "at" pool - in our family room.

(Some of us rely more on slop than skill.)

I'll rack - you break -

Good looking table!

I play at home only on holidays...custom balanced cue stick...nice bumpers...perfectly level table & balanced custom made ball set...so the cue ball needs to be hit little to no effort when doing bank shots. Dad had the pool table re-felted so it doesn't leave serious burn marks from the balls or the stick.

I also enjoy watching other people play...

I got next game...I play winner...or shall we play 9 ball or cut throat?

Hmmmmm... A little cut-throat? For a modest wager? (This is the point at which I usually lose my A$$ and a couple of fixtures.)

Used to play at home. Had to sell the table when we moved back to L.A. I'm still having withdrawls.

LT....play ya for that set of gears.
Table is a Brunswick Gold Crown IV. Cue is a Dale Perry (from Florida). My neighbors brother made the light. Cue & Eight Ball are Brunswick Centenniels. Cash was borowed...have to return it soon.

We inherited the pool table from my in-laws after they both passed on. It's an official bar table with the .25 slots

We used to play all the time hubby taught me many of the bank shots too. I can still hold my own today. We don't play as often as we used to....but an occasionally game here and there is fun!!!! I will play at bars when a table is around

or if someone wants to bet me

Nahhhh X ... Gears are staying put... and as stated in the original post.... I AM TERRIBLE!! It was just pitiful...

my pool table is on the computer now.

I have an 8' regulation table that sits at a buddies house cause I don't have a basement to put it in.

You're much too serious a player for me! Oldest son got us a nice set of NFL logo pool balls for Christmas - Cowboys and Broncos - It's always a contest at the table!
