A year has passed. Would you believe I am exactly the same? haha. 570 1/8/25 and 570 1/10/26. I'm def playing the best pool of my life right now, even though I was 577 6 months ago. I feel on fire.
The tournament in Atlanta went great. I won my first two matches by a huge margin. Then I played 2 strong players that got the best of me. The second was Kim Davenport. First time I ever played him, or watched his game up close. He still was playing with a 1990 cue, haha. It was something custom from the time with a long ivory ferrule. Of course he beat me, but I won won game with a really nice out, and should have won a second but dogged the 9.
I'm back in Philly now. I played a Solatto match last night. My opponent was mid 400's, but I broke and ran 5 or 6 racks in 4 sets (barbox). And had a ton of runouts after his early miss or scratch. I think the last time I broke and ran a rack was 6 months ago.
I have a lot of games lined up the next two weeks, and I've been doing the 6 pointed star several times each week. I'll be the most ready I've ever been for a tournament for the Vegas 567 cap at the end of the month.

Not sure where my cueball was made but at times it balks at my application of English.
