My on switch is flipped whenever someone irritates me or pisses me off, If you get under my skin I won't lose. I don't get mad at the game but I do get mad at the individuals.
Best wishes to you too.
Playing for end of year honors (in my little pool world) last year I almost dropped out after my first match. When my second match was called I said what the hell, go for it. I ended up winning the thing. I never know what's going to happen from minute to minute. I...
your A game when you don't feel well. I still play a good game but not my best. My health has been going down hill for over 3 years and I'm at the point of giving pool up. Very frustrating. I'm going to a tournament today and will probably just watch because if I can't play the game that's the...
I don't know why really but this poll bothers me, your answer is in the results though. 95% of the players I know play for fun, you meet some very fine people in bars who play pool and some dipshits. I've seen both types in pool rooms too. I've only been playing a little over 40 years so maybe I...
I stopped playing seriously this year because I can't play my best game any more. I've noticed a big drop off over the past two years so I felt it was time. The thing I enjoy now is instructing the young ones about how to play the game. I enjoy it very much when I see the lightbulb go off in...
It depends on who I'm playing, when my opponent promptly snaps his cue in half I walk away. Both is the correct response but it does depend on other factors.
1-15 8-Ball, snooker, golf, bottle pool, cut throat etc... My favorite was and still is bottle pool, I think that taught me the ball control I have now. We played on a snooker table and I guess I was 7 or 8 back then.
I don't try to rate myself because it's entertainment and I don't do leagues. I've been playing about 40+ years and I enjoy transferring all that knowledge to the lesser players these days. If someone improves their game because of things I've showed them I am very happy.
I started playing at age 7 or 8 to give me and my cousins something to do. My Uncle had a snooker table in the rec room. Currently pool is 100 percent entertainment and for recreation. It's a distraction from life's twists and turns. Love to play and probably will play until I can't get to the...
When I was in a slump a few years ago I told one of the better players I had lost my game, he said he thought he saw it over by the big screen TV. For what ever reason that worked and I shot lights out for a long time. Now when I'm off my game I ask this same guy if he has seen it, he always...
Steaks
Cattleman's Restaurant at the Stockyards, awesome steaks after you get done shooting. Just south of I-40 close to downtown.
1309 South Agnew Avenue
Several thousand hours as a young-in (Under 25), Since I turned 45 maybe 4-6 hours a week. Big gap in between because of working. I'm 51 now and only play for entertainment.
