Bar Billiards 'Break' of 3100 points.

[downhill240]

Wild game for sure. I just watched a video earlier today of a professional match of Snooker where the shooter ran the table for maximum points. I'm not a player anymore but I appreciate those who have mastered the cue! Thanks for sharing both the pool and the great musical background! LOL

[chirogirl67550]

Mark, you can fuss and fret, shake your stick, jump up and down while beating our chest.... apply all the psychological tactics you want....but it's still not gonna help you when playing pool with this Yank---You're gonna choke --you wait and see..I know these things..hahahahahahah

[gerdenshed]

Keep practising my friend... It's a great game isn't it? I prefer it to pool any day ;0)

Mark..

[LukeQuixoteofSanJose]

Awesome... hypnotic. I can't believe I was entertained by that. Watching someone playing bar billiards. 5* and favourite.

[gerdenshed]

It will never be a television sport will it lol...

Mark....

[LukeQuixoteofSanJose]

@gerdenshed

I don't know. If you have the funny music and background laughter, I think I'd watch. It's the hypnotic appeal that gets me. I remember the first time I played bar billiard. I was hooked. I think it's a great game.

[clearza]

[gerdenshed]

It's a Bar Billiards table from the late 1930's...

Mark...

[Pkmeg]

What is the name of the song??

[gerdenshed]

'Blue Christmas', you may have heard it sung by Elvis Presley :-)

Mark...

[hllo3000]

how you get to play in championship? i play 4 pin barbillards you play that to?

[gerdenshed]

No I've only played 3-pin billiards. I've been eligable to enter championships as I've played in the top team in the league and some championships are 'open' competitions like the World Championships :-)

Mark...

[simpsonswatcher92]

Perfect m8 do you play in any tournaments ?

[gerdenshed]

I played at the World Bar Billiards Championships in 2007 and also in national events in 2006-7 and 8 :-)

Mark...

[prool12345]

lmao at the song

[gerdenshed]

Glad you liked it :-)

Mark...

[sharpy2010]

What a strange game! I've never seen that being played before! I wouldn't mind a go at it though!! :-))

[gerdenshed]

It's been in this country since the 1920's long before pool. It's not that common anymore unfortunately especially up North. It's played in leagues in places like Cambridgshire, Northhants Oxford Surry and the like... Apologies to the leagues I haven't mentioned lol. The World Bar Billiards Championship was held last weekend in Jersey :-)

gerdenshed...

[flatcapdarryl]

great vid great break, how much does a table like that set you back?

[gerdenshed]

Hello my friend, you can pick one up on e-bay for anywhere between £500 and £1800. Glad you liked my break. My best break is actually 13,830...

gerdenshed...

[flatcapdarryl]

thanks for replying, i take it you hardly ever loose a game when you take first shot?

[gerdenshed]

I win more than I lose lol. It depends if the table is level and how much I've had to drink :-)

gerdenshed...

[gerdenshed]

I'll settle for a pint :)

[gerdenshed]

Cheers, I'll play you for a fiver lol.

[DesmondSun4U]

You had me Cracking with this one, That laughter was nice to hear. You sure can shoot that cue Buddy.

Have a nice weekend.

Regards, Des

[gerdenshed]

Cheers Des, glad you liked it. You can't help but smile listening to that track :)

[nllleonard]

Good grief you got a lot of those in! Sure eye and steady hand I guess.  Impressive!

[gerdenshed]

Thankyou ;)

[monello198]

interesting choice of sound..

nope.. i'm still not happy, do it again and this time with you playing the guitar

lol

;-}

[gerdenshed]

Hey, I tried to, but I found I couldn't hold the cue and the guitar at the same time lol.

[monello198]

[gerdenshed]
