Hi everyone, im not sure if this thread is referring to me but i am a new member. I have been trying to sign up for a week now, using a few different names, i figured it was related to spammers.
A little background: Im Benjamin Shaw, 30 Y.O., a CAD industrial designer at Dynacept in Brewster NY. Ive been fascinated with pool my whole life. I first saw the game of 1P when i was a bartender at sky high billiards in fort worth texas. 30 brand new tables in that place, run by billy weir. Never played a game but watched for hours. I wonder if any of those guys are here now, cant remember any names. I was into nine ball at the time and only gambled for the lessons. That place was my life, would even sleep under a table in a pinch if i closed then opened the next day.
Now im married for three years and live in danbury CT. Boston billiards just closed and now i get back into pool. But it turns out a guy named Jerry (looks to be an old 1P player) has all the tables and sold some of them to a nice little spot called vivo's in the Maron hotel. 7 tables in there - a little too close together but not too much of an issue so far. I was encouraged by the fact that i was in there on tues night and 3 out of 4 of the tables had 1P going. Only 1 or 2 that know the game a bit but still there were new ones willing to try. I think jerry will only play me for 5 a game - i just want to play, im not a really into gambling but i might just have to consider it paying for lessons.
I do have a question but ill put that in another thread.
