Hell man, I ain't played pool in so long. I miss those days at the pool hall sippin' on Long Island ice teas with Billy Idol on the jukebox.

My father bought a slate 4’x9’ (full size) table from a pool hall for like $100 in the early 80’s. It sat in his basement disassembled until he restored it in the mid 90’s. I moved out in the mid 00’s, so for about a decade I had free pool any time I wanted it. As a result I don’t have much desire to play pool anymore, but when I do I can usually pretty much dominate. It’s odd how well I can still play considering I only play maybe five games a year now. That said, pool is a great game and it’s very odd that there’s basically no way to play it now unless you own a table. I spent a fair amount of my college bar days standing around a pool table and it makes for a great way to socialize.

I play at least 2 times (6-7 hours per session) per week, tournaments, some league and some gambling. I love it, it's a fun and healthy outlet. I have friends with nice tables and go to several different pool halls.

I was never able to play pool well. But then again I always felt the need to mindlessly consume alcoholic beverages back to back to back while I played and it may have somewhat effected my game...

I haven't played that in a long time. It's fun from what I remember. I remember needing more skill and precision to play it.

The problem with 8 balls, in the cocaine sense, is that I can't find good cocaine anymore. I've just stopped buying it as a result.

Yep, it's got some weird ass cut in it. I'm doing the acetone wash, but nothing further. That at least gets something out of it. The 80's coke was soooo gooood! At least I can do a bit and save some for another weekend now, lol.

a lot of time that is because you are hitting too hard.

A regulation size table is a lot different to play as opposed to a bar size table too. I used to go to pool halls and play while speeding with some friends. They were open 24 hours and served beer and drinks until 2am.

The little bar boxes are so much easier after you get steady on a full size table. Though they do require more planning because there's simply less room to maneuver. Any reasonably skilled shot will have it worked out fairly fast though. I struggle more with rail speed, some rails are so fast while others are dead. You have to play a table a couple of times to get it right sometimes.
