Playing pool at Mac?
Are there any pool tables at Mac? I need to work on my skills so I don't embarrass myself.

There are tables in the basement of MUSC. Not great tables by any means, but good for killing time between classes.

Skyline Billiards by the BK on Main has good hourly prices... but the owners are douche-****s.

Games room in basement of MUSC has shit pool tables but the owner people are cool as hell. Plus, 6 bucks an hour. Good price. ;D (or 10 bucks for 2 hours)

If you bring your own set of snooker balls, you can play snooker on their tables. That's what I did, though mind-you I had to ask the owner if it was ok first (since you have to retrieve the balls afterward). It was late on a Wednesday night and the games room was virtually empty so he didn't have a problem with it.

Though come to think of it, I don't really see why you'd go out and buy a set of balls without a table of your own. (I had a set because my pool table was destroyed during a flooding incident but I salvaged the balls)

You played snooker on those small tables? Not much room for finesse Not to mention how crappy the rails are on those tables.

Having said that, if you're around with the snooker set, lemme know, and we can shoot a game. I haven't played snooker in about 10 years.
