Ding Ding Ding !! (give the man a cigar! You are EXACTLY right. The " "me" that beat you in ficticious match was indeed an opp.
Was a SL-3 !! Even in our league he would be a SL-6. I played well; not my best, but good enough not to lose to a (regular) SL-3 .
I have heard about SL-3 at Vegas running out, but NEVER seen one make a full Table Masse' on a 9 ft table.
Opp commented about "when the spin would take" on the masse'
:frown:
I'm over it now, but was pretty mad someone could Sandbag 3 skill levels and not get noticed.
Don’t walk away thinking he was sandbagging. A masse’ shot is a hit or miss, and bangers try them.
I’ve been beaten by everyone including a couple of 2s. Not one time would I ever condisder them sandbagging. They’re not good enough to sandbag.
Sandbagging exists, but you’re description, I don’t think that’s sandbagging at all. I guy hits a desperation half masse’ and runs out five balls? It’s going to happen given the statistics of an amateur.
Did you happen to watch the guy’s earlier matches and then his last match?
Have you ever played a non-handicapped tourney and watched the guy that beat you dog his brains out against another opponent, and you say to yourself, “he didn’t do that against me!” The range of an amateur and the winds of uncertainty in pool.
Did you noticed that most of us who read your post pretty much were saying,”whatever you’re bragging about ain’t really all that much.”
It seems now we were spot on. What you described wasn’t all that much. If you believe it marks a sandbagger, I disagree.
