How do you find your opponent's weakness?

90% of the time people you gamble with have some of these flaws

choke more as the bet gets up
miss more when the bet is uncomfortable for them.
shoot more shots they shouldnt when stuck
tend to raise the bet when losing
tend not to quit early when losing
get upset and it affects their game when you do certain things. experiment.
Takes most people a while to get comfortable playing pool for more and more. Need to let go of this "gotta win" drive. The upshot - at least with me is like, okay I'm good, I can do this. ESTD. If you haven't graduated from the process you're always functionally in over your head - and still believing you must win. The gravity - or even trying to ignore it, detracts from your game. You dog it and fall into the abyss.
Even if I had the time to "professionalize" my pool game, I wouldn't waste the time.

Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

How do the players here that use fractional aiming recognize what fraction the hit is? The basic ones, full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4,1/8 I can usually see, but its the 3/8 , 5/8 , etc .. those are the ones that give me real trouble.
The basic fractions are the easiest to "see" using CB/OB overlaps - the ones in between are mostly found by "practiced estimation" ("feel").

You might find some help in Poolology -- a fractional aiming method developed by forum member BC21.

Perfect transaction with Jason ATX

A real pleasure to deal with and speed of light payment.

On a related note, this old dumbass accidentally failed to check the "positive" box in the feedback section. If anyone can tell me how to edit/correct that, please reach out to me.

Thanks, and again, Jason rocked it.

That might be something that @azhousepro has to correct.
