As long as you want but a pathetic way to live.........
Hello Wolven, I agree with you.
That is why I do not try to hide my game speed! Thanks for your input.

I've been hiding my true speed my whole life. I've done so well at it that I don't even know how good I am...but I'm sure I'm a whole lot better than this.

Sixpack, better than this, meaning what?
I thank you for your input too. A lot of players hide their speed, for more action. People still know how they play though!

Ah yes, stalling. It takes a lot out of you. As was mentioned earlier it`s a tough way to live.
Nothing more need be said...
You are a Bad Man, Sixpack.
Sounds like you shoot pool well too! Enough said.

Joking. Mostly.

I subconsciously play down to the level of my opponent if it's a fun screwing around game. I don't have the killer instinct to obliterate my girlfriend... she might cry on her pink pool stick 
Outside of that, I think it would take a much better player to stall for very long and not get accustomed (the much touted muscle memory, etc) to missing.

I tend to do this often,I can care less about playing my true speed,as i have more important things in life at this point and i can make more money working then i could ever playing pool.One instance in ga at the marietta billiard club they have a weekly tourney 8 ball i play every week won once usually go deep..One eve i played someone name starts with and a and he killed me ...the next week i drew him in the first rd,I won lag and broke and ran 4 games 8 ball missed the 8 ball in 4 th rack ,finally beat him 5-o..our match was over before any other match had played 2 games and the table next to use watched the whole match they stopped playn after i ran 2nd game,and there was a certain someone from cali sitting there watch'n and just smiling,..I finally loast my 3rd match because i played someone that was way below me...me and ant just laughed when we were chattin..lol we played 10 ball the rest of eve and i played 2nd chance tourney..won that....
if you play for fun or for small dollars play your best and have fun.
if you want to win big dollars you must beat the best and beat everyone or you can stall around and knock off gamblers for big bucks by out smarting them. it is a different game and philosophy. those that are broke and and jealous will always knock you.

the old gambler's game
The old gambler's game was to hide your speed while rating the other player's accurately in a hurry. The goal wasn't to impress anyone, it was to bring home the cash. I think I was accurate rating someone else's game within 5-15 minutes almost every time, didn't matter if they were on the stall or not. On the other hand I concealed my speed from many people for months or longer.
No reason at all to get cold while on the stall. I was still shooting as carefully as ever and exercising as much or more control over object balls and the cue ball as when I was pocketing balls, my objectives were just a wee bit different! :thumbup:
The ethics of stalling can be debated but any time I clipped somebody for real money by stalling they had been stalling too. They usually got clipped without me going totally off the stall. Since "I got a little lucky" to beat them that time they were good for a few more shavings around the edges!
There is a lot of poker in gambling at pool. For a gambler it isn't a sport, it is part game, part business. There is a difference between a gambler who plays pool and a pool player who gambles. I have been both at times. Best thing to remember is that true Gamblers that make a real income from it rarely really gamble. They have the best of it or they don't stay in a game long.

well i think there 3 people n the forum that may have an idea of how i play ,...... so ill take a big spot
Depends on how good you are at it. I have known a few players that wouldn't step foot into an "action" poolroom if you paid them. They made their living hustling the bars and strip clubs. These guys were usually known to the better players around but the bangers never had a chance to quit against them.
I can't hide my speed at all. Not much there to begin with but the few times in life I have tried to lay down I couldn't get up when I was supposed to.
