I watched a lot of the matches, not in English so I listened to the radio while watching. I enjoyed it very much and all of the matches are on YouTube I believe.

When I was growing up we played on my Uncle's snooker table, the room was big enough to fit the table for any shot except for a wet bar on the left hand corner of the break end. It became part of the strategy when we played, made the game more interesting in my opinion. We called it getting bar...

Taylor Reynolds from Maine is one of the qualifiers. Here is a TV spot of her last year. http://wabi.tv/2013/12/05/taylor-reynolds-shows-skills-pool-table/

I retired almost 10 years ago, the first day my Blood Pressure was down 20 points. Stay busy and enjoy!

80% of the time I have a very good idea what my plan will be before I get out of the chair. It's only when I question that plan, when I see it from a different angle, that I slow down a bit.

Agreed, it's a barrier you place on yourself. It's like the old 8 ball thing where it seemed harder than the rest, it's not. Try to treat the last game just like the first, you will conquer it I'm sure.

Add shooting as the third leg of the contest, after you win at pool, lose at poker you will be in the mood to shoot something.

Wasn't it Teddy Roosevelt that said "Walk softly and use a bar stick"? I wasn't very good in history.

You aren't doing it right until you get them to snap their cue in half and end up banging their head against a wall. :cool:

First time I've listened and I love it! Thank you.

A cue is a thing, a thing doesn't need respect. People need respect and that is earned, not given. This game is about people, not things.

Well, I tried for a little while last night, I blame my poor play on my right handed cue. I'll try again though, I must conquer this dilemma. :cool:

I have never been able to play left handed but I've never practised it either. Maybe I should try again?

The key word is routine. Big C made very good points but keep it the same every time no matter how you figure it out. I have seen players jump two levels in confidence by doing the same routine every time.
