What makes the game so great is that it changes with each player's personality. A lot of players shoot equally as well. It is the great thinker, the creative mind that will most consistently prevail. I don't know what happened to the pool hall, or to Mousie and Polkadot. They serve meals, and the back rooms are used to store inventories and supplies.
People seem to want it that way.
I guess, but something is missing. Now I am one of the old men. I never did learn to shoot pool as well as Mousie. He'd be proud of me. I know why.
