Eventually I got so good at it that I usually won and they stopped playing with me. We played for money..nickels and dimes sort of thing. I then started going to pool halls. Oh the shame on that, in those days it was frowned on for a woman to go into a pool hall and actually play anyway I got quite good at it on a regular table. I haven't played in years now. Lost interest in it when I discovered better sports..ooops, sorry just couldn't resist. Kat

Thanks for joining my group Kat. I can't help myself, but I am totally obsessed with the game. I started playing back in my early 20's because I would go out to bars with my now ex-husband and he would leave me sitting at the table while he went off to play pool. I decided the best way to take of that was to learn how to play....believe me, there were plenty of guys who volunteered to show me how! Well, I then started entering tournaments and actually won a few. At that point, my ex lost interest in playing and the roles were reversed.....he would sit at the bar by himself while I played! Over the years, I didn't play so much due to taking time to raise my kids. After they were grown and on their own, I decided to give it another shot...and just entered a local pool tournament to see if I could still play. I was amazed on how it all came back. Three years ago, I met my current boyfriend Eddie who happens to be a superior pool player. Now I realize that I didn't really know how to play before, with his help I have improved my game enough to play (and be competitive) in National level tournaments.

I set this group up to see if there were any other pool players out there. Let's get together and talk pool........
