I think I am well above average in skill level. I won 16 games back to back last night at The Alibi. I don't have a fancy cue stick, just those damn broom handles they supply us with.
But still, there is some $$ to be made in Vegas if I can find 2-3 decent players. Just cracking the top ten will probably give 4 people 1000-1200 dollars a piece. And the nice thing is that bars here sponsor you and pick up all the expenses for you to go.
