    imo American pool does not compare with the standard table you find in an Irish pub. The one with the small pockets.
    The margin for error is huge on the american table.

    True, they're completely different games, I played for UCC and Cork in reds and yellows and I play American pool for fun and on the irish tour, there are less tactics in american pool, you basically have to clear up when you get in.. Not as easy as you think.

    Vag, either tell me who you are or stop trolling, I don't play doubles and I have backers that will cover whatever you want to play for. Pm me for details.

    I've watched it a lot on TV and it seems to be a one chance game.
    I have not played it and possibly is a good game when you understand what it is about.

    Yeah it is, 9 ball is actually a better game but can't get many people to play.. I prefer snooker to be honest but I'm probably a better pool player.

    Hasn't started yet bud, I'll get onto my buddy during the week and see if this is still going to go ahead. Where you based? I'm playing mainly snooker at the moment, hoping to be playing in Killarney next month so need to practice.

    Alright Tyko, sorry didn't look at this thread for a few days, wasn't around Good Friday anyway, the girlfriend had other plans for me.

    It's not fair to say I'm constantly making challenges on this forum, I'm not.. I said in one thread, maybe two that I'd be up for a few games, I played with Cork juniors, got to the Semi's in the Inter varsities where I was beaten by Graham Baitson 3-2, who I think is number one now on the pool main tour. I won a few small tournaments but never really got into it too serious, I'm trying now but struggling with my cueing. Tyko give me a PM when you can with your full name and I'll do the same, next time you're in Cork I'll take you to my snooker club, members only - 3 tables which are the best in Cork and 50c a frame.

    Don't be so cocky about your wagers online, as I can see you're playing U-21 and unless you're better than Greg Casey and Vincent Muldoon you're probably not better than me. Look forward to hearing from you, and vag77 I'm still waiting on that PM.

    Ill be in Cork in the next few weeks the weekend starting May1st - May3rd

    my GF attends college in Cork and stays in Bishopstown thats why ill be down......

    are you saying so you are of th same standard of Greg Casey because i was onto him and asked him does he know a Dave from Cork playing snooker and he told me only one Cremin...... would he be right in telling me that thats who you are...?? and he doesnt think you are of standard to compare with him.......

    and if the rankings are anythin to go by i would be over Greg but we wont go into that as i will be percieved as "Cocky" and as for playing you im not bothering my ass unless there is a wager.... min 500E

    and again not being offensive... why havent i heard of you on the circuit growing up????? because greg said you of 22 - 23 yrs and im 21 this yr.......?

    but on getting back to me..... i dont want to hear anything other than whether you'll be playing me for a wager on May1st - May3rd in Cork... enough of the small talk.....

    looking forward to hearing a reply.......:cool:

    Yeah, Greg is right, I'm not at his standard, I was close to his standard when I was younger but I only played a few tournaments, mainly in Celbridge. At the moment I wouldn't play a blind cripple for 500 quid but I would like to give you a game regardless, as soon as I know who you are.. Pm me your name and stuff there and we'll organise something if you want. If you're above Greg then you're obviously going to be better than me at snooker, but I'm no lamb and Greg knows that :)
