Biggest Slam you ever heard about your pool game.

I was at Derby several years ago. Watched Earl play a match then went outside to smoke. Earl was out there so we started talking. Earl had been wearing his arm weights so I asked him if that was just to make him more solid over the ball. Without missing a beat Earl said "No, I'm just screwed up in the head. If I wasn't wearing this stuff I couldn't even beat you".

How freakin awesome is that?

:p
 
Joey, I thought what is said in the Confessional stays there. The Fireman, Someone who has Less talent than you.
 
After winning a local tournament for the first time in a while, I come home excited to show my wife the modest winnings, hoping to convince her that I should practice more.

My wife: "So you're good at pool. So what?" as she took my winnings away.

I've heard about "having it on a string", not a "vine" Tarzan

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?

"You stroke it like Tarzan, and hit it like Jane" :groucho:
 
Best shot against me...."You don't shoot very well but you miss better than most."

My best dig..."You know what I like about you? Your consistancy. You know what I don't like? What you do consistantly."
 
"Do you want me to snap a chalk line for you?"

"Well, all you need to be a pool player is a couple quarters."

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.

That was you? You owe me for a car wash. And don't try to pay in Canadian money,I know that move.
Now I don't want to sound smug but I have always played at a pretty high level and I can't remember any slams.
 
Good Guesser

Mine was just last night from a non APA shortstop. We start talking aiming systems and he goes into SVBs aiming technique then his and something about half/quarter/eigth of the ball etc and that he only looks at two places on the object ball. I told him that I didnt have a formal aiming system and he said "well then you are just guessing and will never be any good" I have played him before for grins and we were about even and he proceeds to tell me than I wouldnt even win 4 games in a race to 9?? I just told him well then maybe I am just a good guesser? He had been drinking so he put me on his protege that he taught everything he knows. I think I put him down about 3-1. Not as satisfying as cash but I am not going to lie. I havent felt that good about my game in a while. :smile:
 
In the single elimination rounds of the Japan Open, after beating several pros and losing to Ko Pin Yi by way of only coming to the table once in 6 games (and that one chance was in a really bad spot), a well known pro essentially tells me "You have to play better so that he wont run racks on you like that."

It was a pretty funny statement, but oh too true considering my loss came from 1 missed safety (which wasn't really a missed safety, just not good enough against one of the best players in the world).

What is even funnier is that I heard Earl say that (or a variation of that same comment) standing outside the front doors of the Exec West. I was talking to Scott Frost on the right side of the doors and Earl was talking to someone on the left, we all kinda laughed it off. Was that you or another guy he said that to?

It was at Exec West. I believe it was the last year they held it there. So it was probably me you heard him say it too LOL
 
Me to opponent.

" If you were arrested for impersonating a pool player,
they would have to drop the charges for lack of evidence".
 
While practicing some one pocket with Eric Baker, he says to me,
"Don't try to play shape. Just play your own game".
 
After shooting a long shot for his hole and coming up short by about
a foot, I asked my opponent "Hey Nancy, does your husband play?"
 
I was playing with a couple guys one night. The one guy I always take it easy on because I like him and don't want him to quit. So I asked the other guy if he ever did that to anyone....he said "yeah....you".

The good thing was that it pissed me off so bad that he never beat me in a single game from there on out.
