I would like to do a little friendly gambling and no one put me up to anything.
I have joined in on the naysayers side because I have never had much faith in aiming systems. I also enjoy the humor evoked by some of the naysayers in response to the almost religious fervor demonstrated by many of CTE followers. That is a turnoff in itself.
I will admit I have also never spent much time trying to learn a system. When I heard Hal trying to explain his system(s) 30 years ago, it seemed way too complicated for something I could already do naturally.
I could be wrong. Show me.
I still would like to play some.
JOhn,
I'm just joking with you about teaching you CTE/Pro One. As far as showing you, that you might be wrong, well that's not my cup of tea. I don't want to, nor do I care to prove anything to anyone, especially about CTE/Pro One and especially you. You are satisfied with how you play (which is quite well) and how you aim. There is no need for you to learn anything new and I understand that perfectly.
My participation in these threads has been limited to admonishing the Naysayers for their mean-spirited comments about my friend Stan Shuffett and in general the unkind manner in the way that the naysayers have bullied the CTE proponents.
I go to pool tournaments to compete in pool tournaments not to gamble.
It is an opportunity for me to gauge my progress or lack of progress against the best players in the world. It is a chance to learn more about this game as well as an opportunity to steel myself in circumstances that I don't normally face on a regular basis. Out of all of the things that I like doing in pool, high level tournament play is my favorite.
Gambling at pool is also something I enjoy doing but the two of them don't mix well together, at least for me. And since I don't need the money, I don't need to gamble. It is simply another aspect of pool to entertain me with the game I love.
I have really had my eye on THE GINGERBREAD MAN for a long time and he has agreed to play me but so far I have been unable to catch him. I know that if I play you and get lucky enough to win, THE GINGERBREAD MAN will never be seen by my eyes again.
In Gulfport, MS, you spanked me pretty good. You won twice as many games as I did and I only escaped the trap because I upped the bet and got lucky in winning a couple of the bigger bets. You were a gentleman to gamble with and I wouldn't have a problem doing some friendly gambling with you if some of the one pocket tournament players get lucky against me and send me packing early. (I'll bring a little extra dough to contribute to your retirement fund)
I plan on playing a while in the tournament but cash a couple of those Social Security checks before they expire, just in case my plans change.:wink:
Thanks again for the offer. I just wish THE GINGERBREAD MAN had started this thread. :thumbup:
I guess I should start a separate thread to woof at him and Da Fish.
Best Regards,
JoeyA
P.S. (Oh yeah, and no nine ball, ten ball, golf etc. :wink
