Social Are you a good pool player?

[kahiljabroni]

Played since I was old enough to hold the stick against my much older brother who was phenomenal. Literally played my entire early life. I was winning tournaments in my early teens.

Took a long break then started playing on the pro sized tables consistently. After a steady 6 months I was dominating the pool hall owner and he was semi pro.

Then I got in some trouble and left the pool hall scene. I was light years better at pool then anything in my life. I would crush people that bragged about being the best. I probably could have went pro had I committed myself at that point.

Barely played in last 15 years. My next house will have a bigger basement and I'm buying a pro style table for sure

Used to play a bit.

Oh, you think pool is your ally. But you merely adopted pool, I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the a loss until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding
I will beat you all sherbro’s

Below average for sure. The problem is there’s no real method to how good or bad I might be in a given game. Sometimes I’m doing really well and other times I tank hard with really no sense of what makes me effective on the one day.

Fortunately I’ve only played casually with friends who are average to slightly above in billiards. To me, It’s like darts, only when you play with someone who is legitimately good do you realize how subpar you are. Levels to these things and all that.

Average player. I could play but I wouldn't bet. My buddy was a shark in college and high school. Very good. I knew place.

 

[ringking1982]

What a boring activity. I'd rather be playing ping pong!

 

[SurferH2O]

I'm above average sober, but become "good" after a few beers. There's a beer range 3-6 where I play better compared to being sober.

 

[heavy_hands]

I used to be very good, played a lot of snooker. no idea how I’d fare now, likely not great

 

[cowboyjunkie]

I once lost a game of pool to a 100 year old man. Lol.

To be fair he regularly played twice a week. But he was drooling all over the table. I never should have lost. I admit it here but nowhere else.

I would say that I am above average but my father can run like 5 tables all back to back. He’s one of the best pool players that I have ever seen. He can do wild shit with English too. He could win all the local tournaments. We both shoot with a two piece meucci pool cue and play 9 ball.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Pretty good. Have had a table for a while

 

[Chest Rockwell]

I grew up with a pool table. In highschool my garage was the hangout spot. The homies would spend all night there running games. I got very very good. Would hit up some pool halls and play for ridiculous amounts of money. Led to many an interesting story, lots of fights, and an all around good time. Haven't shot in over 20 years. Miss is alot these days. 9 ball was always my fave.

 

[Meatspin]

Drunkenly played for the first time in age’s recently. Went surprisingly well.

 

[TCE]

I used to be.

 

[SammyPops]

I'm pretty bad. Balls won't always stay on the table.

like the dice at the craps table sometimes.

I used to be pretty good at pool. mispent youth at the pool hall in the late 80s.

 

[HollaBack]

I use to have my own table, unless you have your own table for soemtime, you prob wont be to good

 

[huskylord]

Snooker is impossible

 

[Beechwood]

I'm not that good at pool. My parents have a pool table and when we have family gatherings we often find our selves shooting pool. No one is any good and games can drag on far to long.

 

[Dizzy]

Maybe average. If I’m playing against my dad who owns a table and has been playing for most of his life I don’t stand a fucking chance. People who don’t play often like me? I can do decent.
