Welcome to the forum Gary. I know exactly the same amount about you as you do me which is somewhere between everything and nothing. I wasnt trying to be defensive, it reads that way, all I'm saying is a post like you made just throws more logs on a fire. I dont give a damn about opinions you can like em or hate, I wont change up anything I do if you don't like it then you dont like it. I'm not a mind reader got no clue what you are thinkin.
Small matter! The steak is the answer.
I know a place!
That's fine. In other breaking news. Jason is up 6 games on John M. The word I got is they are still playin for $500 and John is going to 7 ahead, while Jason is going to 10 ahead. No ball spot though.
You go ask Mike Davis if anyone ever told him he played good enough to be a pro. He grew up in the shadow of some really good players even in his early 20s no one thought he was the best player in Fayetteville, hell he's still about never beat Keith B. heads up gambling or anything like that. He just took the chance and put in the work and made it when people told him he couldnt do it. Said his mechanics were bad. Said he couldnt play under pressure. I was in the belly of this stuff, people still think he just gets lucky and gets good draws in tournaments to get there. Mike Fuller plays in the APA for goodness sakes right! Check his US Open record. He's amateur by choice and he by all accounts peaked later in life. All I'm saying is no one has any idea, when the game clicks for you and you find it sky's the limit.
Not everyone just picks up a stick and can play. Not every guy goes the same route before they make it to a place where people think of them as a professional. Just because someone tells you that you can't do something shouldnt prevent you from trying your hardest to get there. If I stopped everytime someone told me I didnt have the potential or couldnt possibly still do something I wouldnt have gotten anywhere. The things that were important to me I went after them and made them happen. I dont know who in that pool room really wants to be a pro, but if they really want it they should fight to get there or die trying. Even Jordan got cut right?

Really? First set? How long they been at it? Packs of games or just one or two at a time?
I was asleep and woke up to a bunch of messages. I hear they are both playing decently. Only minor drama they have had is John doesnt like the way Jason is racking the balls, said hes leaving the wing ball loose so he can make it every time. Other than that they are just chopping wood.
Current score is Jason up 7 games again. John is a little grumpy from what I hear.
Jason is up 5 now.
Jason up 8
Jason up 7
Jason wins again...giving playing 7 ahead Vs. 10 ahead with no ball spot.
IT WAS NOT the wing ball, it was the second ball not touching and it was the SPOT on the table causing it to not touch the nine. Dont know if that makes me not make a ball or not. I broke dry 6 or so times. John ran out 4 of those racks. Two when i was on 8 and once on 9 
Its nice Alisa was texting all that to you though Thanks for posting it here for the these guys. From now on she will not be allowed to text while sitting next to me and asking me over and over the score, lol. It was hard to concentrate.
I told John next time he can have the 8 on a diamond or the 7 on a valley. He said he'll take the spot but thinks he should be beating me even.

Yeah man she literally texted wing ball, i was in shock for her to know what that is. He's young doesnt realize that if you have to play your best to win it's probably too tough to play over and over. God Bless him.
if you think that team was stacked you looked at the wrong team. It had me on the team
Not Rob Bish...whats up son???
Just reading all the different veiw points on the game of pool. it has taken me close to 2 hours to read all the comments, but now I'm up to par.
