Rhea the new Chapter, without Gene

Last night I made a mistake. But I learned a lesson from it. I played a very well known champion a $150 set with not enough weight for a fair chance but it did put me in my place and might get me a little more action while I am here. Anyway I have a match today with a strong local girl and the steak horse that backed joey gray against me last night will be steaking this lady tonight. From the gossip this match is going to be super tough both ways so I am going to have to give it my best go.

You played for a 150 and Joey needed a steak horse?

It's probably not a question of needing one. If you ask a guy to stake you in tough action, the right thing to do is let them stake you whenever they want to.
 
I agree with John Barton, there is always a spot available that makes it gambling and from what it sounds like they were playing super cheap. Someone trying to improve should play people like Joey Gray cheap, not to get their head kicked in but to see how to play the correct way, how to play shape etc.

I agree James. I just think a B vs pro speed requires having SUCH a huge spot that most B players don't realize how huge it must be to make it a fair gamble. Cause SOB's like you rarely miss and make B's tighten up like a virgin on prom night. ;)

That said, playing cheap for experience is absolutely a valid reason to play the stars - the lambs just need to pay attention and retain the lesson learned (and get a bigger spot next time, hehe)

Merry Christmas JR!

I agree and did not think of that. Still real small spuds for a real stake horse IMO. Johnnyt

Make sure you eat before you get too tired but not too much....

And no energy drinks. Cup of coffee maybe.

When you eat playing pool it's like just throwing one log on the fire.

Don't over do it.

Good luck there Girl...............

I often drink a Red Bull before a long session.

Not To Disturb The Set BuT An APA 7 In 8 Ball Or 9? Playing 9 I Assume.
 
He is an Oklahoma 7 speed. He's taking a short break, I am only 3 racks ahead after 12 hours.

I think its going to come down to who get tired first not who has more skill.
