people rate their answers as "99% certain" but are wrong 40% of the time
When we reach the highest level there is one more challenge.....overconfidence*
*The overconfidence effect is a well-established bias in which someone's subjective confidence in their judgments is reliably greater than their objective accuracy, especially when confidence is relatively high.[1] For example, in some quizzes, people rate their answers as "99% certain" but are wrong 40% of the time. It has been proposed that a metacognitive trait mediates the accuracy of confidence judgments,[2] but this trait's relationship to variations in cognitive ability and personality remains uncertain.[1] Overconfidence is one example of a miscalibration of subjective probabilities.

What the he!! did you just say...lol
Just kidding but seriously whats that mean.:grin:
He's quoting from Wikipedia. Some of the terms are defined in references there.
He's saying knowing your true speed and ability to execute on a statistical basis and playing within that level is the promised land.
In short, you're better to pack 10" and tell the chick you have 5 than thinking you're Ron Jeremy and telling the chick you have 12 when in reality you're so small you piss on your nuts.

It most likely means that you shouldn't be so overconfident that you forgot what got you there. :grin:
they have nothing to lose and everything to gain
It was just a fancy way of saying "keep your ego in check"....and all the other analogies by you guys were good too.
It's really something that I heard from 2 Time US OPEN Champion David Howard ... once in a while he'd play a bad match and I'd say "Giant Killer, what happened???" and he'd smile and say "I was suffering from over confidence"
It is a key in competition and I've been guilty of not doing this on more than one occasion...you MUST play your best game against guys that you are favored against. They will play better often times "because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain".....'The Game is the Teacher'

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego
and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the
need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.
Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time.
It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up.

It's believed we average over 30,000 thoughts a day.
From my experience, internal dialogue is to just be "observed". It's believed we average over 30,000 thoughts a day. Only a few are even worth paying attention to. Through meditation that constent loop of thoughts can be drastically reduced.

Quite frankly, no one is capable of striking a sphere (cue ball) with another sphere (cue tip) without putting unintended side spin (English) on the sphere. The problem is...did you put left or right English on a ball you intended to hit dead center? By intentionally putting inside or outside English on the cue ball, you now know what it will do.
Thank you for the reminder Lao Tzu.
Debunked by who?
Whoa, Pj, this professional level player is a hundred ball runner! His high run in 14.1 is in the 140s. I 'd say he has run quite a few hundreds. Surely he knows what he speaks of.
I doubt that he would make that up but you never know.....he has been on here a few years and has never graced the 14.1 forum with a single post.....

I can hit the cue ball dead center, high right, high left, low center....anywhere I want to.
It's called practice. It ain't that hard to do.
Why people have bought into the myth that no one can hit center ball yet are accurate enough to hit else where they want is proof the kool aid is good.
Until you see everyone that plays pool, you can not state for a fact that no one can hit center ball. This maybe true in your part of the pool world but that is not the entire pool playing world.
Just because you state no one can hit center ball does not make it a fact, but just opinion.
I feel sorry for you Stan! You truly ARE a bitter and frustrated man!
No, IMO you made up your 140 and that says it all about you.
It is like Dave said...post a video, Killer! Many of us that have run a 100 do not take kindly to those that make up high runs, especially those nearing the perfection mark.
Why not just post up a smooth 45-50 ball run?

By me for one, but also by others who have thought it through. Here's the gist of it:
No matter where you try to hit the CB, if you hit it a little too far to the right or left you'll miss your intended target by the same amount and in the same direction and your side spin will be off by the same amount and in the same direction. Favoring one side or the other over centerball doesn't change this.
Also, it's not true that the center of the CB can't be hit exactly, especially exactly enough for side spin and squirt to be negligible. There's no good reason to avoid it. Improve your stroke instead.

P.S. I didn't mean to say you're nonsensical, just that often repeated myth about avoiding centerball. I don't know if you're claiming it's actually true or just passing along somebody else's opinion.

Frankly Stan, I really don't care about your opinion. My personal best was in the 70's and I stopped playing 14.1 when my friend Dan Lawrence died: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=273912
Unlike you, I don't need a video to prove anything at all. I'm well respected amongst MY friends!
