I want a pill!!!

What a vitriolic diatribe! BTW, is this post directed toward a specific AZB troll? And who or what is an AZB troll?

I don't seem to play well alone. I guess I need the competition or the recognition when I make a really tough shot. When I play a game alone it doesn't seem to matter if I miss and I don't give the shot my full attnetion as I do when playing an opponent.

Great advice from all...thanks.

I would rather play a game with a practice partner than work on drills which bore me cross-eyed after 10 or 15 minutes. Is actually playing a game a good way to practice? An instructor friend tells me I will never get better unless I do drills. I mostly play 14.1 and One Pocket for practice.

Oldplayer, I would like to add that your wife might feel bad if you give up the sport you love but she can answer that for you. Good luck to you both and be grateful for the happy years you had together. Many never find that kind of closeness. It is rare and precious.

I can't stand to practice. I think playing various games (namely 14.1 and One Pocket) with my practice partner is the only way I can practice. I lose interest after 15 minutes with drills. I guess I just need the competition. BTW, I would like to know what the brainwash drill is, too...not...

I don't care for your avatar mostly because I hate fish including shellfish.

I agree totally with you, dsoriano. I think the avatars should reflect something about the sport of pool and have stated so on this forum more than once. Some of these pictures belong on a porn site and I feel that this does not help the image of the billiard industry. However, I do believe...

Yep, that certainly is a pool cue...lol

Could it simply be a generic outline of a male player?????

Pool has certainly ruined my life. I adore the game especially 14.1 and one pocket. I would rather be shooting pool than anything else on earth. Consequently, my house is a shambles, my yard a mess, my car is dirty inside and out and my life revolves around my time at the pool hall. WHAT A...

Go ahead If it will make you feel better to feel bad then go ahead and feel bad.:D

Great idea, Rufus. I really like the DVD/pdf file idea. Go for the DVD, John. I will buy it in a heartbeat!

My Team Name My team voted on this choice out of four or five suggestions: Poke-n-Hope The team was originally named Potential Threat and finished dead last our first session together...lol. After changing our name we were in first place until the last week when we lost really bad and...

Morning, Sean: You are busy around the forums this morning and being very funny at that. Yes, I am familiar with onepocket.org and have found it very useful. There are some good videos out there with knowledgeable narrators that I watch. Also, I have bought several DVDs that are really good...

Of course, and poolstudents.net and Eddie Robin's books which are a little out of my price range at this point at my level of expertise...maybe later, I hope.

nrhoades: Don't use the term "quit" here although I agree that the thesis should have priority. "Postpone" would be a better choice. Another option is to use your love of pool as an incentive or reward, i.e. if you write so many pages or chapters you reward yourself with an evening out with...

Hahaha, Sean...good one.

Is it possible to add a forum dedicated to One Pocket? I believe that it is really gaining in popularity especially in my area. (I don't see ESPN jumping on it because of its slow pace...lol.) I am really getting into the game and want to learn as much as I can. The forums offer a lot of...
