Lots of bars here have 7’s, coin tables. But yeah 4x8 is fun for everyone skill level.
Bar tables are under-rated. People think they’re simple since it’s smaller. That is not the case. For 8 ball specifically. It creates way more clusters which makes 8 ball way more of a strategic game which is what makes 8 ball a beautiful game. Even pro 8 ball tournaments are played on 7 foot bar boxes - and that is intentional. It increases the complexity of the game.
The pocket gap is bigger as well. Like I said, it’s not hard to break and run the table on a 7ft bar table.
Maybe for you, RhinoHOG
Agree though the 7 foot pockets are like whale vaginas
Dude, I wasn’t considered one of the good players in town, but I beat a lot of those that were.
Snooker balls are tiny, feel like peas… making cuts and banks waaaay different angles.
i’m decent after four beers and shit after six
I worked at Joss cues for a few yrs when I was younger. Still play with a few I made. I was pretty decent for a few decades. I would often run over 100 in straight. Nine or ten ball were the money games when I played a lot. Nobody played eight. I got kicked out of apa league for I guess sandbagging. But I didn’t have a rank so they set me up as a 6. I tried to make it competitive but I guess you have to loose for that to work out. And I didn’t loose. If you ever came through MD and played a big money game from 2000 to 2010 chances are you either played me or I was there when play was happening.
Cigar Tom was who I leaned from. Played in the valley forge (?) tournaments and did well.
if we’re talking pocket pool, then it’s me for sure
LOL, in my town right outside of Manhattan we have an annual 8 ball tournament. $50 entry. 64 players. From the “luck” of the draw I got a bye in the first round. However I play the winner of two absolute beasts. One is an 8 in 9 ball and has won the entire tournament before. The other is a 6/7 in APA. Two of the best players in the tournament. Wish me luck… I’ll need it.
from 18-23(when i was very active) I was very proficient. Played in leagues and was on the winning team every time. Would stay on the table winning money and/or drinks for most the night. So much so I’d give most the the drinks I won away. played a few games for a few hundred, and won.
Best game ever, bet a chick my $100 against her panty’s. I broke and ran the table. She honored the bet, and when we went back to my place she said "when we’re done, can I have my panties back. Being the gentleman I am, I gave them back after we fucked.
I had a Palmer cue back them
