Any pool players in AE?

Do any of my fellow AEer's shoot pool or billiards?  You know, 8 ball, 9 ball straight pool, snookers and the like.  I do .  I own a small/cheap pool table and make a weekly pilgrimage to my local pool hall (which is roughly an hour away and has incredibly nice tables) and am trying to find a league that suits my schedule.

Anyone else on AE play good pool?  Hustlers even?  Whats your favorite game?

I snooker from Time 2 Time

One upon a time in New York, a long time ago, i was an avid player. You name the game i learned it.

I don't play pool that much but I do think that the woman "Black Widow'" is not only a very talented pool player but hot also.

Wow, more people than i thought play here . 

I think my favorite game to play would be 9 ball.  I think it's probably one of the more difficult games, but i play 8 ball more often than not, and i play straight pool when playing for $$. 

@ Bucephlaus, the Black Widow is indeed really good, i've seen her play at Fox Woods a few times, but i think Ewa Mataya, or the 'Striking Viking' is both better and hotter than the Widow.

Originally posted by gcle2003 I played a lot of snooker and billiards (the original kind) in my misspent youth, but not so much lately.   Coincidentally I watched The Hustler again just two days ago on DVD, and I'd love to have someone explain to me what they were doing.   (And they didn't appear to be playing on what to me would be a full-size table.)

Well pool and snooker tables are different even from just size http://www.pooltableplans.com/pool_vs%20snooker.htm. I haven't seen the hustler in a long time but I imagine they where playing 9 ball. A fast paced game thats good for making or losing money. http://www.bca-pool.com/play/tournaments/rules/rls_9bl.shtml

I used to be big into 9 ball, but havent played regularly for years.
