Out of curiosity.......
Do any of you guys play billiards?
I've played pool ever since I was a kid. My old man had a shitty beat up table in our basement. I've kind of stuck with the game for the majority of my adult life and actually i've progressed into a pretty decent player. I enjoy the game, a buddy once called it "white trash art", which is pretty spot on....... Lots of scumbags in the pool world.
Anyways, well known poker players like John Hennigan (recently played Dennis Orcollo a set for 30k in Vegas getting some serious weight), Viffer, Josh Arieh, Shulman, etc have all been giving action to pros for large amounts. Poker and pool go hand in hand, at least where i'm from (Chicagoland).
But yea, watch imo the best player in the world atm, Shane Van Boening run 8 racks of 8 ball in a row last year versus Earl Strickland, white trash artwork at its finest........
