This should be fun.

Mine, occurred yesterday and it was not tongue-in-cheek. :D

"Joey, you have NO TALENT". (This coming from a guy who knows the game of pool, plays very well and has taken many a scalp in his time and YES, he was serious). :o It's only sad when it's true.

Ok, what's the biggest slam on your pool game that you have ever heard?
 
Joey,

I've said it before. So, I'll try to keep it short. When I was 17, my uncle who was a very good player told my Dad, that my game was fine except that I used low english too much. That was 'food' to my hungry ears. I stared shooting with more high english that same day & my game was certainly more well rounded than before my uncle slamed my favorite shot.

Best Regards.

Well my biggest slam occured when I was taking a pool lesson from a guy, My game was fine, my aiming was good but I tend to make a few bad decisions....and he told me this.....If you shoot another shot like you shot that 5 ball ...Im going to pop you upside your head....well I let my brain go dead and I did....and he was close by and he did....well I had to realize.....I was a total dip stick and just was letting my great stroke out way too much...so it slowed my roll down and I learned something.....lol

Just another lovely day in paradise.....

My first tourney I showed up early and played a few regular bar patrons. One guy beat me senseless on the table. As the tourney started and I played a few matches another guy pretty much took me for the match. As I walking back to my seat I said, I don't think it was that bad of a game. They guy that beat me prior said it was a bad game but one I beat you was worse. He was laughing about it and I did too. Put it in perspective for me so I replayed all the games in my head and realized my errors. I practiced up played a few more random people at a pool hall and went back to the bar for another tourney. I played the guy who made the comment on a match and beat him for the match. I ran out after his break because I lost the flip for the first game. The second game I broke and ran on him. When I went to shake his hand I said not as bad as last time huh? We both had a good laugh.
 
Mine was a backwards comment said to a friend, not to me...

"Paul is a bad pool player. The problem is, he knows it, so you can't hustle him."

"Matt , if you really practiced 6-8 hours a day you could be a high level amateur." Inside my mind I think they are saying if you practice you could almost play .....:smile:

"Matt , I really think Joey A. probably plays about three balls ahead of you "
This sent me into about a 3 month depression and I made a decision to open another business and use my talents else where.:sad::sad::rotflmao:

Now seriously Joey, both of these things were said to me but you and I both know better than to listen to any of it ,even if it was positive.Remain unchanged and play your game . As a pool genius says "No Time for Negative"

I think Joey A. has tons of "talent" .Keep in mind it's always easier for people to knock you than to try and build you up.

This song is for you Joey , Merry Christmas

Hopefully, I learned something and will always remember the advice of my mentor and friend.
 
I had a guy tell me I was probably the best 2 dollar player in the world.:D
Ba$tard..:D I can play for 5 pretty good to.
 
This is what my (then) eight-year-old grandson told me one day while we were playing pool together: "You suck!!!"

Maniac (sad thing is, I gotta agree with him)
 
After miscueing the CB onto an opponents table and pocketing his 6 ball, he said;

"Nice shot, I'd say you meant it but I've been watching you play for an hour now and you have trouble potting a ball in your own 6 pockets!"

Needless to say I stuck to soft follow shots the rest of the night.
 
One of our "Master Instructors" told me I had no cueball control, couldn't win on a bar table, and that's why I "hate" them.

Currently I'm in 10th place for total points in our little 500 player league. I'd like to be in 1st, but since I'm new to bar tables and the proper use of side across beer stains I'll take 10th for now. Guess I'm still just a banger.

Good thing that guy knew what he was talking about. :thumbup:

I was getting the 5 ball playing someone, he scratched and made the 4, made me shoot the 5 with BIH. And we're buddies. His reasoning: "you're getting the 5 ball, you can't play a lick!"
 
A local Master who does have a pretty big head was watching me play 9 ball one day during a tourney.

He said, "the way you play, I don't know how you ever make a ball". I was playing another Master that game and I figured I was darn lucky to even get a chance at the table.

Hurt my feelings a bit but I went out back for a smoke later and peed on his car.
 
I was teaching a friend to play one day, and I told him, if I had a bridge like that, I would burn it and build a new one. lol
 
Yep, gotta rep you for that. I'd double rep if I could because you unzipped in Soviet Saskatchewan and lived to tell the tale.
 
You corner hooked a guy and pulled a maneuver just for fun?
You communist, biscuit lipped, traitor. You alone are the reason
people cry. Chuck Norris punches a baby in the face each time
You chalk your cue.
 
You've got no "gears"...

I've also been accused of always wanting to win at the practice table, and not just bang'em around and let the stroke I apparently "don't" have out.

I don't know what the first one means, and I'm not sure if both slams are related?
 
I was playing One Pocket, of course, when I "yipped" a shot and came up woefully short of the pocket.
My opponent promptly asked, "Pardon me madam, but does your husband play pool?" :smile:
