Awesome, a topic that I don't remember being talked about on here.

When we moved 2 years ago the house we purchased had a full size table. I never really played that much was actually going to sell it. Wife grew up with a table, and her brother is a really good player both said we are keeping it. BIL said get a high end cue to use and a few decent "house" cues for everyone else. So I did get one and Lisa got one and started playing. Not the best player by any stretch but getting better. I play more in the winter, not much in the summer. Great fun I have found out but also can be frustrating as all get out!!

Who else???

I gave my pool cues to my granddaughter just this year. I just couldn't do Lucille and Rachel justice anymore. I still love the game.

I play approximately once a month, and more often that that during the summer. I don't ever recall turning down an opportunity to play.

We have a good table.
My daughter was really into it for a while, which is why we bought the table. And I played frequently at first...

My old man was a pro bowler so I grew up playing pool and hustling the older kids out of their money. Haven't played in years

I preferred 9 ball over 8 ball.

I used to play quite a bit when I was in my twenties. Haven't played in a while. My parents have a table and when I visit them we play a bit. Having a pool table is plain fun!

Used to have my own table at my old house, lots of fun. I was never any good at it but, I tried. Don't play much anymore.
