Steve won't cut me a deal on anything. I asked once, and he said, "I'm not a charity!" :confused: tee hee I played on the BCA summer league. I've got my own team on Monday nights now.

Now that I know where to go to play on a 9 footer for the same price as a barbox, I'm so there! I never would have gone into a place like this, ever. A seedy dive next to the Deja Vu strip club? Yuck. But their tables are NICE and they have 4 of them. Baffling!

Been a coupla days, I'm moving, so things are chaotic. Mondays BCA was the worst EVER. I was so stiff from packing and hauling, with the big stuff going on this weekend, I couldn't even lean over. Age is a *****. Mondays games: Game 1: 1 ball Game 2: 3 balls Game 3: 2 balls Game 4: 2...

Well, it was interesting. I did my best, and lost one game to an SL 3, and she won the match. She needed 2 to win, I needed 3. I should have won all 4 games, she wasn't a good shooter at all. Nerves, I suppose, with 15 pair of eyes all watching the match and the new kid. They need 5 people...

We'll see what happens tonight. Last nights scores: Game 1: 1 ball (oooh boy) Game 2: 7 balls (missed the 8 by an RCH) Game 3: 3 balls (eh) Game 4: 3 balls Worst night in a long time! After league, I stayed and played another couple hours. I was making Fantastic shots. There was a guy...

It seems simpler just to avoid the whole 'mark defensive' thing. I guess I have a lot to learn.

Pool is not chess. Even in chess, you wouldn't miss your turn just to leave the Queen guarding a valuable spot. What happens if you don't say something? For me, that type of thing is just Strategy. I always let the hanger sit there......eventually it goes in, most times by the opponent...

Calling safe, making a ball, and then keep shooting.......what's the point of calling safe? If you're gonna keep shooting, shut up. If you're gonna just give your opponent ball in hand, why not just fire the CB into the pocket? I must be missing something.:confused:

What does "mark defensive" mean? I have 3 days to learn new rules. What's the main difference between BCA and APA rules?I guess I need to find a book, but moving and sittin an readin don't mix!

Queensryche laments: "Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?" in Revolution Calling. Yeah.

Well, I don't know yet. I'll pick it up tomorrow. I'll try to post a picture. Okay, APA fans.....get out your forks and bibs, time to feast on me. I joined an APA league tonight and the first night is Tuesday. I'm already hatin it. The team captain said, "What level are you?" I'm a BCA...

We are in dead last, but moving up in points. We're less than 50 from the next place up, tee hee. I'm getting an el cheapo 6 foot pool table from a friend who's moving. I'm moving, too, so it will become my dining table since I don't have one o those. I don't know what condition it's in...

I've been practicing my 'over the ball' shot. Miraculously, doing it over and over and over has made a difference! Sunday, in practice, I was Golden. Bank shots, kick shots, long green cut shots......they all went in. Steve, my teammate who is a level 8 BCA, said, "Wow, you can't miss."...

Thanks, ElMav.......glad you can keep the boredom at bay during the watch o' the wee hours by reading drivel posted by aspiring shooters/wannabe's. Hey ridin, I have a new drill to improve my cut shots that a good shooter on league showed me. Line up 5 balls on any diamond, running across the...

Still ill, the z pack didn't work. My ear feels like it's full of cotton and someone is jabbing it with a pencil. I took my grandson to the ENT for his checkup (tubes), and I asked him to look at my ear, which he did. He said to get some nasal decongestant spray, use it, then lie down with my...

Back to league after 2 weeks off, and one nastyass sinus infection. Last night's games: Game 1: 7 balls (opponent and I chased the 8) Game 2: 7 balls (grrr....missed the 8, long green cut shot) Game 3: 4 balls (snookered at every turn) Game 4: 6 balls (no excuse, just plain tired) Being...

Hello, Mr. Grey, if you're reading this, say hi back. :cool: Gotcha!

It would be nice to know at least the name of the town you're all talking about. Spokane.....9 footers....$6-$10/hr. Barboxes are 50 cents a game, almost everywhere. Some places will give you free pool weekday afternoons if you buy lunch. I'm all about that.:thumbup:

I hear ya! She has the list of team captains and all their information. Why not do it in October when you first found the problem? Information age, my ass.

There was no pool last night. The schedule said we played the second place team, so my team showed up. It seems that we are off this week and next, but the schedule had us off next week and the week after. 4 teams showed up. Some teams were notified that the schedule was wrong on Sunday...
