Any TBH Billiards Players? - Page 5 - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

MadHatter · 03-01-2021, 07:18 PM

I'm coming I promise.
Just saw your above post

.
I'm willing to bet $500 a set, 3 on the wire as a starting point, we adjust by 1 game after each set.
Or we can lock up $1000-$1500, and play the same game, best of 5 sets, that way someone is guaranteed to win something.
Right now me and Fatreddrum are hopping like our asses are catching.
We have a ton of work, and the weather has us backed up in bad way atm.
We just spent a week, with 400 people without service.
Divide that by 7, it's a lot of cussings, some of them more than once

.
Do I have your number?

GarGuy · 03-03-2021, 05:56 PM

I dont care to make a marathon out of it. I'll take a set race to ten, three on the wire for 1,000 bucks. I'm not a monster, just a solid player and thats about all I wanna lose in a day. If you want more i am sure i can see up as many games as you are looking for though while you are here after we get done.

How about this sunday afternoon at 2pm?

I've been watching some Efren Bata Reyes youtube videos recently. Thought I knew something about pool and could be competitive. OMG he is fun to watch. Takes it to a whole other level

I had the pleasure of chatting with him a bit and watching him play several years ago in Vegas.

He is fun to watch. Probably several folks better than him right now but he gets up there free stroking. I love his style.

Did this game ever take place or did Mad Hatter no show again?

It never took place. I think he said he got really behind on work.

Leon County Slayer · 05-28-2021, 08:29 PM

I picked up an 11.8 cuetec cynergy carbon fiber shaft today for a Lucado butt and it feels and plays amazing. If you’ve been contemplating the switch, go for it. I put it off a long time and finally but the bullet. Compared it with the Revo and felt better as well as the white ferrel helped to stay on target better than the black fwiw. This post may fall into oblivion but wanted to share just in case.

He's only the greatest that has ever lived, by a long shot.
Known as the Magician.
There has never been one like him, a special person, touched by genius, with an unbelievable gift.
Very humble, soft spoken, and a class act 100% of the time.
Following his career over the years, has been a true pleasure.

Covid blew my industry out of the water, and we've been behind for almost 2 yrs now.
It's coming, don't worry.
The longer it takes, the better his chances get

.
Haven't even held a stick in over year.

Can't do it, won't do it, ain't ever gonna do it.
Nothing can replace the warm feel of wood in your hand(that's sounds bad

).
I hit with several different manufacturers shafts when they first became all the rage, but it ain't for me.
Lot of people switching though.

GG, it don't have to be a marathon, but 2 sets at the least.
I'm not gambling with anyone if there's not at least 1 chance to win my money back.
That's sorta pool etiquette.
You never quit winner, as long as the loser wants to keep going, otherwise people don't want to play you.
I understand you not wanting to grind it out for 16 hrs, but we're gonna have to post for at least 2.

Well has anyone else been watching the USOpen? I’m thinking it would be nice to see the next one run alternate break amd local qualifiers to get into the big tourney like they do in golf. Definitely some great matches and looking forward to the finals. Was glad to see Judd go home before the final 4

I finally got my cue in built by Rhino by Wilhite we worked up a deal I made him a Knife he made me a pool cue

Old growth Redwood burl

GarGuy · 12-18-2021, 08:33 PM

That is a pretty piece of wood. Great job on the points and inlay too. I'm not crazy about the wrap but that's just me.

If you ever get down toward lufkin, bring it along

I used to play a lot. Went to Vegas several years for nationals, mainly to watch the pros play tho. I quit playing several years ago and sold my table and all my cues. There used to be a cue maker in Arlington. For the life of me I can't remember his name. But back when I was in the flooring business he wanted to trade floor work for a cue. Turned out he wanted way more work done than his cues were worth (unless he made me a bunch) so we never made a deal.
Looks like your deal turned out well. Nice cue!

I like the wrap ok . The Purple I wouldn't have chosen but it looks nice I'm happy with it . And it plays great

Hagen · 12-19-2021, 06:48 PM

Im assuming y'all never played yet? Make it happen. I'll be down in San Antonio next November. I wouldn't mind playing a few games for a couple bucks.. I like the game and im not very good.

Hagen · 11-18-2022, 03:14 PM

I guess y'all never played? I wanted to get some juice flowing but i kept switching between GG/MH. What happened?

That was a lucky shot . This guy comes all the way to Texas from Yankees land wanting to gamble . Saying he's not very good. Well I'm honest. I'm a solid player but not a monster. I would prolly play a Yankee though if I got a little weight.

Gumbo Man · 11-18-2022, 07:26 PM

I’m not a good player at all but don’t mind having a little stake on a good horse.

My bad. I read it that you was looking for a game. You have a fargo rate? By the way, lufkin is a pretty good haul from San Antonio. If you are coming this way though we can roll a few.

Hagen · 11-19-2022, 09:40 AM

Honestly, Im not in your league. I do love to gamble but not donate my money. BTW i have no rating. I'm average at best. I just love watching those that are good play.

Steve, any place up there around Lufkin with some good one pocket action?

Low Fence · 11-20-2022, 09:42 PM

The guy I hunt with out of state always talked about how good he was. Lol. One trip we went to the local dive to eat and he said wanna play?… sure. I’m average on a good day. I racked probably 6-7 games and never picked up a cue!…. Then he went to the back and got a broom stick and run the table with it…. And did it with both hands. Lol. I was just in awe watching him shoot

I can watch pool all day vs 2 min of football

Old Bald Guy · 11-21-2022, 09:46 AM

I haven't played in a while but wouldn't mind playing a few sets if I could get the right weight.
I'm thinking 9 ball, bar box, race to 5 for $500.
I get 4 on the wire and the break.

Hagen · 11-22-2022, 05:13 PM

If y'all get a TBH tournament together i would possibly come down to watch and maybe gamble a little but not to play.
