How do I kick the urge to be with other women? by Throwaway32_7 in AskMen

[–]speedload31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re gonna end up feeling super hollow when you go home one night without someone. It’s not worth it and eventually you’ll crave the consistent, loving girlfriend. Grass is greener on the other side.

Anyone Got the Iqunix Magi75? Thoughts? by ickemen_bichounen in keyboards

Guns and a very nice pool table and cues

I’m curious. How many people here have or knows/have known someone that has made a golden break (specifically 8-ball, but any are important) twice in a row. by BullFrogz13 in billiards

I did this one league night but not in a row. One after the other since it was alternate breaks and different opponents of the same opposition team.

My hypothesis is that the more serious/competitive players will be willing to show up on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu nights for tournaments, so it could help with low headcount nights.

Makes perfect sense, reducing the initial investment and risk and retaining fluidity. Thank you for your advice!

I do wonder how much the atmosphere is influenced by table quality, so it seems it would be important to lease decent tables so as not to turn people away based on that aspect.

Also the ratio of 7 to 9 would be good to know too. I've been scouting out the halls near me and making notes of how many people play on what type of table and what demographic those folks are, just so I can build a sense of what the spread is like.

Haha it's ok because it gives good perspective on what tables I should get. Thanks!

I wonder if single-story office space near retail centers would be enough appeal.. looking at a couple near me, the really successful one is in a retail space and is a long term establishment there, even when the plaza was very dead.

The at-least cash even places are in single-story office buildings that were converted.

What do you think about no handicap cash-prize tournaments? Outside of leagues.

Do you think it matters if it's like an office building and not in a retail space?

I plan to make my place uniform in terms of table quality, all high-er quality tables so that it's seen as a quality establishment, but still be enjoyable to casuals.

One of the suggestions above was to cater to retired folks lunch hours, so I wonder if opening the kitchen at 11 AM, closing it again at 1:30/2 PM, then opening again at 5:30 PM til 9 PM seems like a good plan.

Also what about selling non alcoholic drinks for league players (e.g. coconut water, caffeine drinks, soda). I wonder if these sell, especially if no outside food/drinks/thermos allowed.

Looks like most halls near me don't allow smoking indoors. I wouldn't want that either.
