I'm not that good either. Every now and again I pull off a great shot but not very often. I used to play a lot too, never seemed to get any better.

I'm pretty good. But I'm not the guy in the bar with his own pool stick and retractable belt chalker thingy (yes, I've seen that before).
Now if we're talking air hockey...well, let's just say that I'm a 'balla', yo.

I used to be a great pool player in High School.
Once college started though, I stopped playing.
I play once about every two years, so my skills aren't what you would call honed. So, I pretty much suck at all bar games. Pool, Darts, Foosball, Airehockey...I usually had to be drunk to want to play, and by then, you know, I didn't play very well.

I've never enjoy playing foosball! I tried to learn the 'correct' way once and I lost interest...fast...(who wants to actually 'learn' things in a bar?)

I used to be a semi-pro pool player  . Had my own cue, but the chalk on a retractable string was cheesy even for me.
I also ran a pool hall (upscale) for three years.
Those of you who haven't lived the billiard hall lifestyle ain't missin' much.
