The Legendary Pearl to Take On 14.1 Attempts

[tomatoshooter]

Trying for big runs and conserving mental energy doesn't mean you can't stick to the program a little.

I'd think sticking to the program would save your energy in some ways. I understood Schmidt's comments as meaning he doesn't agonize over every shot until he has a run worth preserving. Not being exactly careless, just less careful.

Rather than reading through this entire thread, is there a prize, bonus, or something each player gets for hitting any particular number? Or is it a straight attempt to break the 626 record? Any prize or money for that ?

The big business now where you’re living is begging. They’re making 6 figures at it with the right schtick.

You’ll figure out how to get 2 nickels to rub together.

I just might , I’m back in the chips again, not as strong as before, but I ain’t missed a meal or a holiday. Things are good.

But seriously in the 59¢ thing, it’s cold and rainy, just need a cup of coffee️ Lol

I miss being a telemarketer

You can always just cold call people and just talk and not sell them anything.

Happy New Year to you and Kelly.

Hope her and hers are doing ok now.

She’s good thx. She was sick for 2 weeks. Her mom just got out of the hospital after 8 days in Vegas-Kelly’s out there now. I’m in la, lucky I didn’t get sick.

I do call people sometimes and do that-couple times a year. Keeps the teeth on the saw sharp.

Thx Steve I’ll tell Kelly you said hello.

The only info on prizes is that the money is substantial enough to get the players to play.

Not seeing much in the way of insurance balls or managing balls when going into clusters. When he has no shot or something else gets tied up, he thinks it’s a bad roll. It’s not.

End patterns are pretty bad. And as of right now he’s really frustrated and should probably take a break.

And yet, he keeps running balls. But I don’t see how you get over 200 or 250ish like that.

He also keeps complaining about the table but has shot balls like into the first diamond that still went in.

Earl has a touch foul in the second rack. Evidently they are playing all ball fouls.

But Bobby has been able to spend four days listening to Earl! That's priceless!

And he's also racked more than 225 times so far!

Ok, Thanks,

If anyone breaks 626 using Magic Chalk I will kick in $5,000 to the first player that does it. If Bobby is OK with that ??

Earl shoots off all but five balls and then looks around for a break ball. The next ball he shoots is the best break ball on the table. SMH, as the young people say.

 

[Patrick Johnson]

Yes, he calls himself (perhaps accurately) the greatest shooter of all time. But it's interesting to see how far that gets him. Hopefully he keeps going for a few more days.

I'll be surprised if it gets him to 200.

Send me a cashiers check for $1,000,000 and I will send you back 59¢ so you can buy that cup of coffee.

I thought it was just me.....but you are right. He seems to be shooting the best BB option in a pocket almost every time.

LOL SMDH!

I’m my telemarketer voice:

“Which would work best for you? A personal or cashiers check? (Pause)

We’ll be sure and get that check out there to you via FedEx as it’s the fastest safest way to get it in your hands.”

…………….

That’s how telemarketing scripts were written back in the day for the “fronters” or new guys on the phone. To set them up for the reload guys (best salesmen) on the next call in a few weeks. Was a science to the whole show-like the carnival. Or a dump in pool. Looks real, but is it?????? Only the guys holding the cues really know……

As we come to the end of another year and post…….

I don't believe anyone of us could tell Earl anything about any pool game that he doesn't already know.

Personally, I believe it's just really hard to always shoot the right shot in straight pool without getting bored. Even I have that problem (and I ain't no Earl Strickland). About once a month I go into the basement with the mindset to put a nice run together. I get the rack open and invariably my brain kind of goes into cruise control. I believe my unconscious is saying "there's no way on God's green earth you could screw this rack up so don't bother walking to the other side of the table, or stretching for that shot, just shoot a different one". Moreover, simply because I enjoy the game so much, I say to myself "just for the fun of it, try to spin between those two balls, or shoot that thin cut shot"...it doesn't matter, I play good enough to do that and then get back in line anytime I want". Of course, then I end up running 12 balls rather than 70 I think I'm capable of running.

Playing proper 14.1 is about solving a 3D puzzle in the simplest, most elegant fashion possible -- it is not for everyone.
