    Cheating in BCA league

    Burned at the stake. I don't think a temporary ban would really do much good as they'd probably return after the ban and then continue to do what they did to get banned. Ban them for life might get the message through to not only them but to any others that may try it.

    What was the moment that got you involved in pool?

    My dad's version of quality father & son time was takings to bars. He would set me up with several dollars in quarters and iced down cokes. He sat at the bar, drank beer upon beer or red draw after red draw, and flirted with anything of the female persuasion. It was some years later when I...

    RWojo, Golf clap in your honor sir. Well put. We can rule out #4 for sure with this particular student. This student gives out a lot of mixed signals that varies between #1 through #3. Leaning hard toward #3 mostly. Seems (that's a subjective word) to pay attention and listen but often find...

    Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

    For the most part, she is a perfectionist and doesn't understand that it won't come to her overnight. Her overall goal is within the realms of reality, she just wants it now though I've expressed months perhaps years depending on her dedication. She gets in practice as often as she can that...

    Definitely could be fear based but as eager as she is to learn, I can't honestly state at the moment. She tends to really throw out a lot of mixed signals. I do think she's trying do too much in her life so I can positively say it's not laziness but will admit that she does get discouraged, as...

    Poolhalls in Baltimore??

    Sam, Triple Nines in Elkridge has BCA and APA leagues. I'll warn you now that the tables are just absolute crap. In fact, once I finish this current BCA session, I'm done with the place. However; in Triple Nines favor, they have really cheap table time and a hell of a deal on Saturdays and...

    That's a good idea Fran. I've actually encouraged her to watch some you tube vids as well as come over to my apartment and watch some of the streams. She's yet to do either but I'll keep pressing. Little bits of pressure rather than the whole kit and kaboodle at once. May even try to get her...

    Scott Lee, Inconsistent is very true in this case. Unteachable might be too strong but I know I haven't quite figured out just how to relate it to her. At first, I thought relating to her would be easy. We started with trying to find her a comfortable stance so I proposed the typical feet at...

    Cuesblues, I feel for ya man. Best of luck with yours! Scott, Well she's always been highly competitive from what she tells me. Included in her resume' is that she I also a tri-athlete so it tells me that she has the determination and could be disciplined enough to actually become fairly...

    Joe, I do in fact present my real world experiences to her. I do believe that it could come down to a lack of respect. Not for me personally but more along the line of just not respecting the experience when I relate it to her. Bob, Yes. Time to find another path indeed. I have shown her...

    Fran, I do agree fully with all that you have mentioned but there is on thing in particular that you mention that just really stands out. I will mention to her that she can keep the hook bridge but it will continue to produce undesirable outcomes and that it will limit what I can teach her...
