He taught me: stroke, englishes, safety, position, heart, fearlessness, never give up, you get a whole lot more by making people laugh than you do by making them mad, "where the hell are you going with that cb/ are you sure you want to play pool and not take up crochet?" and: there is no money in pool. After 5 years of hard constant lessons and travel, I quit pool and got a degree in political science.
once i got a degree and a career going, 6 years later, I fell back into pool, but by then he was long gone...

using rails- lots of them- to get position, always staying in line rather than crossing it, getting back in line within at most three shots when approaching a new layout, and: "relax into intensity." Trust yourself.
"filipino gene"
extreme english: the subconcious will scream and you may aim for extreme but then amazingly fire at a completely different place on the cb. (!) you must breathe and trust, hit with extreme. follow through. and: there is no money in pool.
"rm"
hair's breadths on the cueball make huge differences. practice getting the cb to absolutely everywhere from a straight in shot (pockets are bigger than a cb: with a combination of cheating the pocket and using english, you should be able to get anywhere from a straight- in.) and: there is no money in pool.

some guys really do play better and better the longer the night goes on. Even dawn doesn't wear them out. Me, though, i have the amazing, supernatural ability to turn into a brainless zombie. and: you can lose money at pool.

slow players suck. they suck the life out of you and they suck the money right out of the game. is it really better to make sure that all money goes right to the house in table time no matter who wins?!? and: there is no money in pool.

ego can break the very best players right down to my level.
little miss low- cut and high heeled boots
seriously great players will miss the stupidest shots against you for the money. but i won't. : ) and: the little money you get at pool is worth so very much more than the spending power.
this is fun!
