Does playing Pool with Families or Friends mess up your real game??

[couldnthinkof01]

Pool has never been more than recreation, or maybe playing in a $5.00 Entry Fee Tournament. As I get older I feel lucky to be able to find someone to play with that likes One Pocket. I play to win, enjoy winning, but if I loose I lost nothing more then bragging rights.


Do not understand all the people who have to gamble, bet in action, as gambling has never been my thing. Use to play Football Cards during College & NFL season never won more then I lost, but it was fun to try, and predict winner for $1.00.


My neighbor landlord use to do the Santa Anita, Hollywood Park , and Vegas all the time. He said he never lost, but I question why he live in / managed apartments, and drove 8 year old Buick.


One day he & his wife had returned from Vegas after a big weekend of winning he said. I said Jack you are full of crap, there are two kings of gamblers, losers, liars, and no one ever win all the time.


BTW is the Horseshoe on Fremont still the Horseshoe, or because you killed the place are you new owner. Does the building say Jack’s Place?





JMHO

You're shaming a guy for an 8 year old Buick?

First I had to show my workmates that I wasn't full of hot air. We were working out of
town so motel program. First night after work had a 6 man crew including superintendent. I was playing the Boss for the first round. I dutifully broke and ran all my solids or stripes but accidentally left myself hooked on the 8 ball. The crew was giggles as I had bragged many times. So now they had encouraged The Boss with, "Well at least you get a shot!"
Uh.not so . I called it and kicked it in. It was kinda required to maintain my credit ability.

Having seen the Buick it was pile of junk, he Jack was the guy living in an Apartment, He & Wife Managed, driving pile of junk. This was LUCKY Jack & Betty they never went to track or Las Vegas with out coming home winners.

Jack & Betty were IMHO dreaming, they life style did not project winners.
