Hello One Pocket Org. Next week I am coming to Vegas and need my one pocket fix. Being from Canada it's easier to find a Bar of Gold in the trash than a one pocket game. Consequently from time to time I need to come to the US to get my refill. It's going to be great. First I get warmed up with Efren & SVB. Then I get to pretend to be "working" (4 days of Golf with clients...I'm bringing a proxy to hit smaller balls for me).

I'm available during the day. Monday, Feb 10th- Thursday, Feb 13th and will have a rental car so can come anywhere. Not really concerned with value of bet but am negotiable to playing within reason for pretty much anything. I can play (make balls) but not a great mover. If interested or know someone who would please drop me a PM. Before someone says something cute. This is not some sort of hustle. The last time I was in Vegas I was looked like I had 3 heads or they wanted to ship in some West Coast pro for some crazy amount.

Thx in advance.

Hey Nick....We have a friend in common from up there in deepest, darkest, British Columbia - Doug Foster.

Can't help you with Vegas, but, come to Chicago some time :)

Yes our buddy Doug. Came to Chicago last months and hung around Chris's for 3 days. Similar problem. Different location. I'll look you up next time I'm in Chicagoland.

One last bump. I'm here to be kicked around. Not looking to steal. Cheap or more and willing to adjust. Please pm me.

mkbtank did u play in the Boulevard years ago owned by Mike Fusco?


Yep. A bit but I was pretty young when mike owned it. Mike is a very nice guy and I remember there was huge action there.

Usually I play at country club (now closed), Takony (closed), Fuscos (Petey's place) and Drexeline.

Hey Nick. Best Billiards is the nicest room. Hopefully you and Lenny can get together.

The most action is at pool sharks. Every now and then you can get action at the Cue Club

OK lets try this again. I'm in Las Vegas on business Sept 22~25th and would like to hit a few balls with some fellow forum members. Cheap sets or for laughs. Don't care I just don't want to dent the rails again alone for four days.

Up here almost nobody plays one pocket and whenever I go stateside I like to play and expand my O-Hole Encyclopedia.

Drop me a PM.

You do know that you can drive to Seattle. There's plenty of 1P there. It's not quite as far as Vegas baby:)

Going to Seattle is like staying in Vancouver with different color money. I have played a few times at the Golden Fleece (haven't gone to new location).

Come on local Vegas players. Come beat up the Canadian tourist. Our socialized medicine and lack our military makes us soft. We gave you Justin Bieber and Celine Deon. That should be enough to want to wack me over the head.

That's a pretty crazy coincidence that you actually are coming here - I was just joking with you...I'll pm you - the IRS and/or various young ladies from my past, might be monitoring this site to try and find me...:eek:

Good luck getting some action in Vegas, don't think you will have much trouble finding a cheap game. Maybe see if Bobby Cotton is around, I could hook you guys up to play if you like. You were a pleasure to play against.

Thx Lenny. You as well. I don't think Cotton is playing much but I'll reach out and see. Anyone else on the forum you could recommend would be great. You know for me it's about the recreation (there on business and just want to hit some balls).
