Well after reading the thread about people and calling or not calling a foul that got me to thinking about a recent play in league.
I am the type of person that has integrity and if I foul I will pick up the cue ball and personally hand it to you even if you are too busy to watch the game and see that I fouled.
That being said my Fiance, her son, and I decided to start playing league together. A little family bonding time so to speak. Everyone else that plays in this league has known me for years and knows what type of player I am. Heck even half of these players have even played in the league that I was running, and they all know that I know the rules and abide by them to the best of my abilities.
Anyway we are playing 8 ball in league, and I took a soft shot in the corner on the 4 ball, and it was a very tight cut! Because I still wanted a shot after that I hit it soft hoping to get shape on the 7 ball for the same corner after it hits the rail. I miscued (cause I was stupid! LOL) which caused me not to hit the 4 ball hard enough and it didn't go in the pocket. However the 7 ball contacts the rail and so does the cue ball, and I had shape if the dang 4 would have made it in the pocket! LOL The guy playing obviously wasn't watching cause he hears the miscue and immediately say's, "That's ball in had right?" I look at him funny and tell him no.
He then proceeds to argue that nothing hit a rail. I said yes the cue ball and the 7 ball both hit the rail. It wasn't until his partner finally told him the 7 ball hit the rail that he shut up and kept playing.
Normally when someone in league argues as much as this guy did I just let them have the ball in hand because this is a trophy league, and I am just playing for fun right now with the family. For some reason this guy always rubs me the wrong way and always tries to look for some advantage. However ball in hand would not have changed the outcome of this game as he isn't good enough to run out the 7 balls that were still on the table! (I was down to the 4,7, and 8 at this point) LOL
I really did loose my cool when he argued with me too, cause I told him to quit worrying about his rum and coke and watch the game! Of course I said a few choice words too. I don't really know why this guy gets to me like that when I know he is just a banger and not capable of beating me consistently. Has anyone else had someone like this bug them? Do you just give them ball in hand and avoid the argument, or do you argue till the end because you know your right?
