Good on you for posting. Most people aren't brave enough, I'm certainly not posting any of my games, so I'll give you that. Secondly, this looked a lot like some of my shooting. I've gotten better at being a "smart player", but still struggle a lot with being too aggressive. You made some good...

That thing is funky, to say the least. It even looks like some of the bottom side of the points have been stained/painted over.

I need to have a talk with my boss about scheduling work when pool streams are happening.

I was just looking too and Al isn't doing anything yet. :mad: Timestamp is off by 6 mins for some reason.

It's been a few weeks since I've posted. I am 1-1 in 9-ball and in 8-ball. It has been a roller coaster because I have had nights where I played well and lost and one night where I played like complete crap and won. My 9-ball rank dropped down to a SL5, but then I won yesterday, so we'll see how...

Tuesday night was 8-ball. I played a really good SL6 (he just dropped from a SL7). I had to give him a game, so it was a 5-4 race. All the games were really close, and I thought I played some pretty good offense, and nice defense. I simply wasn't strong enough to beat this guy on that night. I...

That's a pretty good record. Congrats. I wish I knew how I was doing. Last session I kept track of it, but forgot to this session. If I had to guess, I believe I am 1-3 in 8-ball and 2-3 in 9-ball.

I had 9-ball on Sunday. We only had 5 players, so we were limited on matchups. As a team we ended up losing 2-3, which sucks. I'm a SL6 and played an SL8 that I hadn't seen before. I watched him a little in warmup and he was stroking the ball well. I am still battling my sinus infection, and was...

I feel like it has been forever since I posted. Who knows what I missed, but it isn't like it matters. Looks like most everyone has been playing some pretty good pool around here. A lot more "winners" than "losers" lately, which is great to see. Hopefully some of you guys will be able to break...

Congrats to everyone on their playoff wins and good showings. 9-ball (SL6) - We just played our first 9-ball match of the session. This is my first time every playing in a 9-ball league. Since I'm an SL8 (which is bogus) in 8-ball they started me as a SL6 (they agreed I'm not really an SL8). My...

I'd say it is too late to bring it up now, but to keep it fresh in your head and say something if it happens again. I do agree that spectators should not be able to call a foul. It is too easy to see something wrong, misunderstand where they are in the match, etc. and start something over a...

As you may remember, we are between session in our leagues, so I haven't been playing much, and when I have it has been rotation games (poker pool and 10-ball) with 4 or 5 others, so I haven't been able to get into any kind of rhythm. Yesterday my wife was gone, so I decided to put in some...

Thanks. I don't think I deserve to be a SL8, and I'm sure I will move down. We confirmed that they had entered me as an unknown SL4 instead of a ranked SL4 when I started the league. This allowed my rank to change a lot faster than it should. I think I will settle in as a SL6 and be competitive...

Our In-House 8-ball league ended last week. We managed to finish 1st, which is great. The match was already decided when I had to play a SL2 (7-3 race). It was late, I was distracted and had a hard time focusing. We went hill-hill, and I missed an easy shot to set myself up for the 8. She was on...

Consistent equipment matters! With some warm up time on a table (and I don't know if you got any) you should be able to get a read for the table pretty quick. Those Valley tables probably play different than the Valleys at most bars, and they sure as hell play different than the 9' Bruswicks we...
