Once or twice a week I play one pocket against the same guy, he is a beast to beat.
But sometimes when he is losing, he will go off that the table is off, the pocket is defective, yesterday I played very well and he made comments about how did I get in stroke,etc on and on.
So almost every time he went on a rant I went outside and had a smoke to give him more time to dwell on whatever he was complaining about.
We are two old guys in our '70's that pass the time at $5 a game, nothing to get upset about.
So anyway, I came out 8 games ahead and he said put it on the wire for next time, if there is one.
 
That's the best part about winning, listening to your opponent chirp, fuss & cry.
I hope it wasn't for the 5 bucks.

Well if he quits you for good, text me. I will try and get down to the room you are now playing at and keep you in stroke. :cool:

Next time ask him if he looks at the cue ball or object ball last. That should be enough to confuse him.
 
Me walking into any bar to play pool on league night could be considered psychological warfare as I've got my pool cue case in one hand my big stainless steel tumbler and a portable oxygen machine with me ha ha !

So yes I get to hear Aw hell I hoped he quit playing pool ! Or something similar while watching their expression change when they see me walk it is fun also .
As for the tumbler I drink a lot of water !
