I thought it might be fun/informative to start a thread where people could post a few short one liners of things they learned in their last loss...
Might find some quick things to think about before they happen in a loss...
I'll start, lost a close 9 ball set to a much better player. I learned...
1) Go look at the shot from the other side dummy and you would have realized a simple stop shot on the 8 works fine vs. the force 4 rail nonsense. Distance isn't the only thing to consider, in fact it's probably not even the first thing to consider.
2) Having to RUN the table is not the same as having to CONTROL the table, should have played position for safe instead of thinking the only way to win is out.
3) I REALLY don't like it when my opponent wins, then starts explaining to me what he thinks I should have done differently.
