seruzz2003 , count me in, who's next?

hi everyone,

im still new in LYN, but would gladly be next.
would be interested in playing couple of games of snooker/pool and knowing some "snooker kakis" around my area. anyone itching for a game?

saltybean & k2 3lv3: both of u staying near setapak? care for a game someday? maybe today? haha

Evangalon, maybe tis weekend nite? i really lousy at snuker 1, really...
pm me

UGPM, dude..

im not that pro oso. casual player. Only recently decided to take the game seriously coz i realize i love it. anyways, anyone else wanna join?
C'mon, C'mon! For the love of the game?

count me in too

yo ppl....why don't we make this tournament at 10th june or something?bythe way,gather more ppl...like 50 ppl and we can start a REAL pool association cos so far no pool association in malaysia,all under malaysian billiard and snooker federation....if such dream can be achieved,imagine the amount of money we can rake in .....imagine organising tournaments and making lots of money....first thing,gather members.....all interested,PM me ur details and we will start it....don't worry,i'm no conmen...conmen all in trade zone....

hey dude! great idea! i'll second your idea! we'll name u the founder then.

but getting back to the matter, its really a great idea! but i've not much experience running associations, but willing to learn and sacrifice some time (For the love of the game!) we need endorsements of somekind, is it? Why don't we gather some names first?

btw, why tourney on june 10th? wanna set up the association first is it?

oh yeah, will PM you.

wah been missing for some time and now wanna start association?? lol

anyway credit goes to u guys for the spirit...however, pool is really under the MSBF. however as is typical with these kinda associations, there're lotsa red tape happening and alot of pool players feel that they aren't doing enough for the sport. to cut things short, if u wanna form an association/organize tourneys/etc, trust me, its all been done before and are still being done....occasionally lol.

not wanna dampen your spirit or anything...however they're alot more involved with running a tourney than u'd think off your head. alot of tourneys are run at a loss, but if u wanna make even the slightest amount of money, u'd have to charge high entrance fees, and this will definitely turn off alot of players. heck, even finding the minimum number of players to participate is hard enough to justify a tourney.

why do u think they're not alot of tourneys being run? of cos, on the casual levels, u'll see places like asia cafe or breakers having full house on weekends, but thats just about it. pool remains a very social/casual sport here, and if there's any measurable/noticeable growth to it, its only recently that ppl in the scene are starting to 'buck up', so to speak. but still, its better than nothing and it gives a promising picture to the local pool scene. somewhat.

but u know whats my main complaint about the game?

NOT ENOUGH CHICS IN IT!!

hey calvinator,

what about clubs then?
btw, i read at the other thread that u work as pool/snooker equipment salesman is it? im actually looking to buy a decent snooker/pool cue and start taking up pool/snooker seriously. any tips/suggestions for a starter's cue? went thru ur website, but cant see anything 'concrete'.. haha

also, u seem to be quite 'pro' leh.. ur place offer training isn't it? is it any different from those offered at MSBF? actually i got lotsa questions, but this is all i can think of now.. appreciate your help/advice..

do agree abt the chics part.. haha

i dont know much, but i do know 1 chick who play quite good pool, she is frm d rack sport cafe at subang jaya, man she can really play pool lar.. plz dont ask me how she lookd like la, u wana know go there , c 4 urself

i think she playd tat good becos she works at tat place

n.. yeah , y on 10th june? really wana know...

i think we all should meet up 1st lar to play pool / snuker ...

evangalon:

clubs ah...u mean online? sure got if u look hard enough haha. im socalled moderator for poolfanatic.com MY branch, but kinda inactive there. its a SG site, we should at least be like them la...the scene there is so much bigger. and needless to say, alot more chics involved there!

hmm which reminds me, maybe i should login there now to see wats happening lol...

and wat sorta cue u have in mind that is 'concrete'?? lol...famous brands that malaysians always talk about are predator and viking. both are excellent amerincan brands, but there are alot other brands out there. most important, think of your budget first and then i can recommend u one of at least decent quality.

imho, u need to make up your mind which one u wanna take up, pool or snooker. but basicalyl, if u come from a good snooker background, pool shouldnt be a problem but thats stating the obvious. most important is to have the right fundamentals. but if u keep on switching back between pool and snooker, u wont achieve consistency.

im not 'pro'...i play alot, sometimes join competition (not good enough to always join). plus, i dun have high ambitions lol..just play for fun, kill time la. if we ever meet up, feel free to ask any questions

saltybean:

u talking about the short plum malay girl ah? shes okla i suppose, but lately shes not working there anymore. there are a handful of other girls who're actively involved but rarely see them around. again, the ratio is like 1:9...still cant fight with foosball!! heck, even snooker has got more girls playing it...

anyway im keen on any sorta gathering. there's also this Malaysian Pool Kaki on frenster...>400 members the last time i checked but nothing going on wan haha.

eh? but i saw her there last week, sunday... her boifren also work there..

i got a question, how can a person play foosball alone ? i saw a guy last week play alone leh, he main quite long.. alone! hmmm
sori ppl , off topic abit lol

yo ppl....yup,quite true calvinator,only in recent years the growth in pool could be seen with our eyes as many pool centres which encourages healthy growth in this game have started operating.Those days where pool is considered as a casual game where it is played just to hang out,lose yourself from stress are nearer to something which is of the past.however,i still like pool as it is a good excuse to grab girls,konon must hold their hands to teach them.In my opinion,pool will gradually grow into a sport with more enthusiasm among players,wishing to learn more compared to the once 'tidak apa' attitude.i personally hope that more ppl will take it seriously rather than just cuieng the balls with wrong techniques like most ppl do nowadays..just look at countries like phillipines and taiwan,they breed pro's like what we do in badminton.basically,talent is there but all that is neede in this region is just proper training and techniques....bout the tournament,june 10 sounds good cos it's just after my exams....plan to play competitively after exams....sick of trashing the same pool kakis already.

i'm just looking for pool player around the bandar utama district below the age of 16 or age 17 preferably chinese and have their own pool cue like me
dunn worry me noob just like having own cue like the feeling of ownership and style

hey guys, this might be off topic but do you all play on saturday night at Asia? there is this one small kid who can play pool better than most of the people in the hall he usually goes there saturday night with his dad, i think. Superb skills he got, i must say he can tapau me anytime

they r indians rite? if yes...i think saw they , last week at corner pocket , they play ok lar

the father should have let his kid play pool wit d lady... pity him, he sat there almost 2 hours watchin his father playin only...

Actually, there are 2 of these father-son combo around.

Chinese father-son: Mr. Yap and er...boyboy? lol. Always play at AC, ive played him (the son) a few times before including once in a tourney. He's improved alot since that tourney, nowadays always bugging me to play on Saturday nite but usually i cant make it...his father recently bought a Mcdermott from us. The kid is good...if u leave him 4 or 5 balls on the table he can probably clear up half the time lol

Indian father-son: Mr. Anil and er...dunno the boy. I think they're lousier, yeah always play at CP but sometimes see them at Rack. Anil been threatening to take lessons from us but lately been coming up with many excuses. Dunno too much about them though...

yeah , i also saw father - daughter team at corner pocket tat day, i cant observe em cos their table very far away.

i saw their mother 2 ... itz good 2 c kids bringin parents , family fun

Just curious, how much are billiard and snooker tables in Malaysia?

anyone in cheras wanna play in corner pocket?
nvr been ther b4..wanna try
