I've gathered the basic rules but does anyone know of any tables/competitions in this country? Apparently it's quite popular in Europe (easy money).

Only ever seen tables in the US, never seen a table in any club in this country. The proper tables are lighting fast and the balls are 9 ball size or bigger.

In addition to that the more important thing is the game is so f****** boring !!!!!!!

Any cue sport is boring to watch? UK 8 ball is extremely boring! This game looks more frustrating than boring though.

Fair enough? Maybe I could become future world champion at Russian Billiards instead?

Or maybe some other cue sport that I am yet unaware about?

Thanks Paul.

I doubt it?s worth driving to Kingston on Themes to potentially become world champion though.

My 100th post on CroydonPool.com! :drunk:
