When I lived on Samui I used to play the pool comps at the Islander and Tropical Murphy's.

I'm coming back for a holiday in February and have heard a rumor that one night pool comps are no more because pool leagues have taken over.

Can anyone confirm this or let me know which bars on which nights where I can get a game please.

Thanks

Samui Rock Cafe has sadly been sold and demolished, so no chance there anymore for Killa tournaments

Gonna miss that place and the cool people there, when we get back for this years vacation.

Maybe Premier sports bar in Bangrak do something similar?

I know they used to do Killa tournaments on fridays, the day after they had quiz nights.

Thanks for your reply Virt but I never play killer....I like playing pool whether 8 ball or 9 ball but killer is not pool!! Lol

hehe you're right, but if there is a killer night, there might be ordinarry pool tournaments also?

To bad i didn't get a photo of the league list last time.They had a list on the wall with all the bars attending the pool league.

You can go Henry's Afrika in green mango

You check in then you stay at the table if you win

On's Live Wire down Soi Reggae...

Thanks for your replies, so I guess the answer to my question is that the rumor was correct and there are no longer any pool comps. Oh well, times change, don't they.

Happy days. Whatever happened to Tony Minogue/Hughes? The guy that along with Paul Watsons backing started the pool league. I remember when it started with 6 teams. Murphys, Ark bar (unbelievable, I know), Scream (gone) Fawlty Towers (gone) Portebello (in Choeng Mon) gone and Shooters (gone).

That was Keith but it was then taken over by a couple of other guys one of whom was called Tony. It was quite a big building, what is it used for now then?

It's still a restaurant - menu in Russian outside

H L call into the Premier Sports Bar and ask about the pool league,,, if we are looking for players your welcome to join, if we are not I'm sure we can point you in the right direction.

Games are on a Monday and a Wednesday, it's not compulsory to play, so I'm sure if your not up for 2 nights every week you can just jump in if and when you feel like it.

Monday league consists of 4 single players and 2 pairs of players, so a minimum of 4 players or Max of 8, but the wednesday (league of gentlemen) is a bit more relaxed and you can play with as many players as you wish,, it's a race to 13 frames in the wednesday league so in theory, you could play with up to 13 players in a whitewash or more if frames are lost on both sides.... having said that, the serious teams play with 4 good players and the not so serious teams who are out for a good ole night of banter and beer will play with as many as they can muster.

Hope this helps ya
