Doctor?
Good Luck with all the advice.
My Advice would be to see a doctor.
Just remember doctors practice
Thats why they call them practicing doctors.
But if you can, stop Drinking with pool. If you can't then I would call it a problem. Good Luck

I find this a VERY interesting subject...as others have told you Shaky, you're not alone in this...I've seen it time and time again amongst both the golfers as well as pool players that come into my place.
I wouldn't say that neither sport is more prevalent than the other as to having people that "require" alcohol to perform to a "higher" or "acceptable" level (to themselves). It's more common that you may think (again, from what I've seen from the outside looking in...). I wish I had an extra dollar for every time I heard "I just have to take the edge off my nervousness..."! Well, come to think of it, when I was selling the beers, I guess I did have the "extra dollar"!
I learned a LONG time ago the moment I start drinking, it causes me to relax too much, and I have absolutely no care about correct body positions (whether pool or golf)...maybe I was just an "inexperienced" drinker...
I have no "advice" for you...I just wanted to let you know that you are FAR from being alone in this dilemma!!! I hope you are able to find that small amount of nervousness that gives us the drive to win, but not so much that it causes us to fall flat...

I don't want one that practices. I want one that knows what he's doing!
hey Shakey, I'm 59 and play APA on Wed nites. here's my routine Get a picture of beer, and the smallest thin bar glass they got, drink the picture of beer, slowly, like a gentleman. Beat your opponent, or lose to your opponent, (just don't beat yourself cause that'l piss ya off) Wait til next Wednesday night, repeat!

At my age I'll take either one. :thumbup:
At your age???? Remember Shaky we're only as old as we feel! (Crap...today I feel like I'm 87!) Well if you're having a day like me, you might want to rely on the wisdom of George Burns...
