Funny Things Said to You at the Pool Room

The usual group of guys in the pool hall, decided to mix it up and play some scotch doubles which was new for us. I was paired up with a guy who said one of the dumbest things I have ever heard, he said it with a straight face and was dead serious. It was my turn at the table and I was getting frustrated being left without a shot by my partner as bad as by my opponents & mumbled something about not having a shot & playing safe. He said "don't play safe, play to win!"

I couldn't come up with anything better than "don't say shit like that, it makes you sound stupid" & he still didn't get it.

Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

ps, I was truly sad when Kenny was about to be locked up. I saw him maybe 2 years ago at a tournament and he had told everyone he was waiting for sentencing and it wasn't looking good. We were all thinking it was going to be something like 10 years. We even had a man hug, and I told him I'd miss him.

We are not close buds, but rather long time pool hall acquaintances. His main room was an hour from mine, so we'd typically see each other at the bigger tournaments over the years. Still, when you know someone a long time, even if they are completely nuts, it's sad to think you might not see them again for a decade. He def makes a room fun!
Last I saw him he was playing Hatch at the Expo
