I don't know what pool fan was talking about. I just recovered all 20 of the Diamond tables at Biff's and there wasn't a single table with "beer stains" on it. As far as the balls being cleaned, I believe they have somebody do it a couple of times a week.

Martin the reply was to Primetime. Who I assume is playing out of Primetime. Since from times I have played there his description sounded spot on. The point was there are many places on the south side (his reference to down here) that have better equipment. That’s all.

Hey League Player, do you need a private room with sound/music of you choice in order to compete or what? Are you kidding? You call your self a league player?HAHAHA...That's funny! Biff's and most of the other halls around here are about the most pristine places there are to play out of (I do on Wednesdays at Biff's). But these places do have to try to pay to have the lights on and other entertainment might be going on...so get over it. These places are dying off quickly. Look how many just in the last half year or so (Q-Sharks & Whiskey Rack were 2 of the bigger ones but there were more also). The halls are having a tough time catering to the ice-water or soda pop drinking league players that just want to whine about something and still justify turning the lights on. Get over it. If that is too much of a distraction for you, you need to take up tidly winks or needle-point. Conditions are never perfect. Not even at big tourneys. So let them do what they have to or soon there will be a waiting list to shoot your league out of the 3/2 joint on the corner that has one 30 year old valley that you have to use their half cue to shoot on the one end by the juke box that only plays Patsy Cline and Eddie Arnold music.

I am sure Biff's is nothing like Doc's (WB Ave and 694) on a Tuesday night. They have Karoke equipment placed on the dance floor which just happens to be right next to the pool tables and the table we sit at.

Hey: I can listen to really bad koaroke (with a drink) and STILL do needlepoint pretty well.....

And because my pool game is barely adequate these days, I doubt that it would affect it either way....
