In a recent post in the Gallery, In2deep "Mario" shared with us some pictures of his new table. This got me to wandering how many other Breitling Source members play pool, billiards or whatever you call it in your neck of the woods?

I have had this table for almost nine years. I had a local family owned store build it for me. I don't play as often anymore and I am not as good as I used to be, but you know what they say, it's like learning to ride a bike, you never forget.

If anyone else has a set up at home, please share some pictures as well!

I used to play a lot of pool when I was at Uni. Some of my lecturers would probably say a little too much!! :wink:

I'd love a pool table myself, but I'd need a dedicated room for it..... and being as Britain is the land of the shoe-box sized house, I don't think I'll be devoting a room to a pool table just yet.

Had a regulation size table in the finished basement of my previous house, but buyer negotiated it into the deal.

Current place has unfinished basement which I turned into a woodshop before my wife got other ideas :wink:

I've had them all, 7ft, 8ft, 9ft even a carom table. The only one I haven't owned yet but will someday is a proper snooker table. There is a 100+ yr old classic one I know of that I would love to have but just don't have the room for it :?

Just be glad you're not into snooker. ;)

I don't mean to brag, but back in the day (about a hundred years
ago!) I used to be a pretty fair hand. When I was 15, my stepfather
bought me a 7-foot table as payment for helping him build a garage.
The first day we had it, we played 24 hours straight, until our eyes were
so blurry we couldn't see the balls.

So every free minute for the next few years was devoted to playing
pool, mostly straight pool or 9-ball. I got pretty good (won a few
state tournaments and a University of Michigan tourny) -- then one day
I discovered table tennis, got hooked on it and sold my pool table.
Oh well, we had lots of fun on it. :)

I too did the APA league thing, played tournaments back in the day, but what really moves me is the gamble :twisted:
