Excellent advice. This is what got me into the sport. I'm competitive and don't want anyone giving me a game (although I'm sure it happens). I want to get good enough to win some games against good shooters. Anyone who helps me get there is a friend indeed. The best way to tell how she...

I just got back from Portland (I should say Oregon City), and I played in 5 tournaments from Friday to Monday. :D At the River Roadhouse on Saturday I played Paul Marquez (columnist from The Break news fame) in a 9 ball tournament, and won a game in a race to 3. I think he gave it to me to...

Oof. That would do it for me. :ignore:

I'm with you. Last Saturday night, about 3 couples started dancing in the pool room (there is a dance floor in the other half of the building). They were banging into us while we were trying to shoot.:angry: Your buddy should have recognized how annoying his flavor flav was and moved her...

Thanks for the encouragement, peeps. This is what keeps me buoyant: skilled shooters like yourselves boosting up the newcomers. THANKS. Every awesome pool shooter starts at the bottom. When you reach the upper rungs and you take the time to encourage the new folks, I think that's total...

Well, it's next week. I shot for half an hour before league started. The results this week were much improved...I'm more relaxed and I've decided that all these guys are so above me that I can't be bothered to worry about it.....just sink balls and do my best. Game 1: 6 balls sunk Game 2...

BCA draft league started last night, and I got my ass handed to me on a platter. It felt kinda good, actually. My teammates are excellent players and I know I'm going to learn a lot. They all seem very nice and everyone is shooting their best, or trying to. I saw some AMAZING shots.:cool...

pwd72s....All of the bars I've been to have 50 cent pool in this town. Score. Far West has nice tables, but they're $7 an hour. I can't afford that when I can go anywhere else and get 50 cent games (split with a friend, one quarter per game). It's right downtown and you have to pay for...

This is starting to happen to me! I'm playing the same people each week and where I used to lose every game, now I'm winning more than half of them. I consider that success. Tramp, duly noted. I shall not err again. I heard that a letter was sent to the local papers after Sonny Bono and...

Heh heh.....Sorry, I won't post video. :thud: I used to post video for analysis and help on a ski website, and most of what I got was information over my head or too advanced for my skill level, people who want to argue over technical points with each other, or some jackass who just cuts you...

WHEE!! I'm going to be GREAT!!!:woot::woot::woot: I also think you need a Goal. My goal is to be the best woman shooter in the state. I don't care if it takes me 20 years to attain (I'll be 75). I'm going to hold that goal in my head, train hard, take lessons, immerse myself in the game...

Happiest of birthdays to a wonderful lady and magnificient shooter!:happy-birthday:

Update: I'm playing regularly 3 nights a week, sometimes more. I've got a small group of people I can play with. I just joined a BCA draft league and that starts on Tuesdays next week. I have people I meet on Thursday (day and evening, so I play 1 pm-midnight), Friday, Saturday, Sunday and...

It wasn't me. Better luck next time.:cool:

When is the drawing? It's 10 am and I haven't gotten my phone call yet.:grin: Either I haven't won:( or it hasn't happened yet and there is hope:D.

deleted my post due to not reading the second page! :eek: Good luck to you. I wish I were in a position to help. I'd love that cue!

Bump! I just saw Robin at the Riviera Monday morning and she was gracious enough to give me some pointers to improve my game...........Robin, you Rock! Thanks again so much, and it was so nice to meet you! :thumbup: If I get a call on Saturday telling me I've won this pool table, I'm...

It was one strange mother's day on this end. Yesterday, I left my phone on top of the car and drove off.......it fell off and someone found it 3 miles away 5 hours later and left it at a downtown restaurant. I got it back with a few scuffs on it, but it works. I tried to give a reward, but...

Sunnyone was asking what a ghost ball was. I think this is the answer. SPOOKY!:eek:

Mystery solved. THANKS!
