Another peeve of mine is when people chalk over the table, oblivious to the shower of chalk they're dropping directly on the rail or the cloth.

Speaking of chalking, I captured this from a live stream a while back

Obsessive chalking is a sign of a player that's very nervous, I pay attention to this.

finally the chalk police have shown up to gripe.

bill, the frequency of wins just depends on the weakness of opponents.

in both if opponents are exactly equal to you, then you both will win an equal amount of times. over a long period.

pool you usually have a bigger edge per game if better. but at cards you get to make more bets in more hands to let your edge build up.

Ooop a retelling.
Wednesday night 9 ball at The White Spot preceeded Gabby (Mike Danner RIP) and I playing Scotch Doubles at Rusted's place just down the road. So at 2 am close, we took the after hours recreation to that home table for 9 ball at 5 a stick. Pretty recreational with consideration of the opposite team.
We Prevailed!! I was still of apprentice status. Mike wouldn't coach. He just went and stood exactly where he wanted to shoot from.
My challenge was made so much easier with that ideal resting place for whitey mapped.

whats the issue. in a pool tournament if you need to, you just announce you are changing shafts and do it.
