Any pool players on here??

[stewie]

not played in a long time but have a table at home (not enough room to play) which sadly will be sold in the near future.

 

at my brothers stag do whilst he was drumming in his live gig at a pub in wycombe i was on the pool table all night and only lost twice out of about 24-25 games. i'd forgotten how good i can be...

 

 

Good going that mate!! Can't you build a man shed to fit it in lol

[stewie]

Yep - World 8 ball - 10 singles and 3 doubles

 

 

 

Defo the best rules imo!!! That's alot of games to i bet some nights drag on!! We only play 7 singles and 2 doubles and still play to gone 10mm most nights!!

Funnily enough I went for a game of pool with my old mate from back in the days on Monday. We used to play pool together every night down the pub, also played in the pub league and got to a pretty high standard. I'm giving serious thought to buying a reconditioned pub pool table as I have a spare room now which it would be ideal in.

 

Virtually exactly the same last year mate, catching up with a schoolmate in Laaandaan.

Neither of us could believe how crap we'd become after a 20 year break!

have you still got it mate?? Lol i know a lad who didn't play for a year or two but was well known as a top player in his day....one night i talked him into a few games and first game I beat him but in the second he got his eye back and beat me then 7 balled me off the break twice in a row....

 

im improving all the time but it's crazy the difference in quality between someone who plays in the top league's to someone who still plays alot but not competitively!!!

Better off using a cue I always found pool to be 90% luck I used to go and watch the pool and sometimes got a game if someone didn't turn up but when it started getting serious it was like watching paint dry.

Don't get me wrong, I was never great, just a useful pub player.

We were shameful that night though.

 

Does anyone else hit a performance peak after a certain number of pints?

(Which inevitably goes tits up after one too many).
