Gene, I applaud you for playing Chris. And frankly, given the circumstances, you accounted for yourself quite well. Chris Bartram is a top level player. On any given day, he is capable of beating anybody in the world. He's proven it. More than once. Purely speculation on my part but if he were to make pool his number 1 priority, he would be a top 10 if not a top 5 player in the US.
With that said, Gene, let it go. Really. You are an excellent player. You're a good person. You have a nice gig with your Perfect Aim and are a good instructor. As good of a player as you are, you're simply not at the same level as Chris. It is really that simple. I hope I don't make you made by stating this. You accepted the challenge to play on his favorite home table or whatever. No need to even bring it up again. Here's the deal. You both were playing on the same table. On your best day and his worst, with a lot of good rolls, you might make it really close on a regular 9' table. However, 95+ out of a 100, he beats you. It is silly to attempt to buck those odds. There's no shame in that at all, as I said, Chris is a Professional Caliber player with a proven track record.
You said this better than I was going to. Thanks.
Gene, kudos for making the effort. It's time to let it go.
