Pool! Billiards? 9 Ball Break and Run, Can You Run a Rack?
I started a thread on a Billiards Forum recently. I thought it would be fun to post it here as well. Please comment with your own pool and billiards run out stories.

We looked for a cool Billiards Poster for the main wall, when I opened a small Pool Hall about 20 years back.
There is just something about having pictures and sayings relating to pool and billiards in your pool room. It ads that finishing touch and gives it the pool hall look and feel.
I did some research and scouting around for billiards posters and found quite a wide range of designs and prices. I found single posters selling for over $800.00. There were many in the $20 and below range as well.
The poster we had on the main wall of the pool hall was a giant cue ball with A giant cue tip striking it. The cue ball was about to car-em off of a smaller numbered ball and roll down the rail on the tangent line to pocket the nine ball. The poster was titled ride the 9. It was totally cool.

Don’t you just love to play pool?
If you answered yes to the above question, you are not alone. (I know big surprise)
There are thousands of pool players at various skill levels. According to yahoo search marketing software, 87000 people did a search for pool cue last month alone. Isn’t pool a great sport? I know many people do not thing of it as a sport, but it really is a sport. (Check your ESPN guide and you will find billiards quite often.)
