*** This Game Can Drive You Crazy ***

how I can relate! just this past weekend I strongly considered contacting ebay and sell all my stuff because for the past 2 weeks I couldn't make a ball and my game was way off, off the chart actually. so I decided to heck with this game......I took off 4 days and yesterday decided, "well, I will give it another try this one last time". went to the pool hall, saw my buddy who usually kicks my a** in 9 ball. we played and I won 3 of 5 matches racing to 7 in each! this game drives me crazy! But I'm back! :dance:

Great post.

Pool is like life, with all the ebbs and flows in performance, luck, joy, heartbreak, interruption and distraction. Just as in life, one must learn to accept what comes and find a way to be happy about it, but sometime the challenge can be overbearing.

There's an old joke in which somebody asks Bob Hope whether sex is dirty. His answer is "it's dirty if you're doing it right." And if the question is, instead, "Does pool drive you crazy?" the answer is "it does if you're doing it right."

Embrace the madness that pool brings to your life.

Perfect perspective. I like that quote a lot.

Thanks for adding a little wisdom to this thread.

A long time ago, a wise man once told me to "Embrace the madness".

Welcome back.:thumbup:
 
I usually think of this game as 'instant karma'.....
...the better you play, the less luck there is.

But then you have a day playing 9-ball....
...when every time you make a ball on the break, you have to push.
...and when your opponent breaks dry, you have to push.
And you realize there might be something to the theory of reincarnation...
...'cause you aint done nothin' in THIS life to deserve THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
