Does your game ever fluctuate? I mean -- like for a while -- you are firing on all cylinders. No shot is missable. Any position play is doable. And then... you come back the next day, or maybe even mid-session the same day, become screamingly helpless? Lou Figueroa just wonderin'

Well, a "thumbs-up" would have indicated approval or agreement with your post, which isn't what I wanted to do. I guess in some cases it might even be construed as passive aggressive... Then on the other hand, a thumbs-down would indicated disapproval which also wouldn't have been accurate...

I am just going hoping to have a semi-decent experience -- it is not the same as it was and it is considerably less fun. Something overheard at the pool hall just the other day: " Yeah, I'm going to the Derby. Funny thing is that as soon as I get there I want to leave." On the flip side I...

Easy to say especially if you do not make yourself aware of the history of the game. Lou Figueroa see

IMO he shot that combo out of pure and simple hubris -- he was on a roll and the table, even one as soft as the one he was shooting on, brought him down to earth. He was tooling along and sometimes when that's happening you think you can just fire away and get away with a lot. With his goal...

No. It's because Mosconi walked into a different room every night, 300 times a year, for many years, and on his first approach to the table -- whatever it was -- would most often run 100. The night he set his record it was at the urging of the crowd -- he didn't care about high runs. I...

IF the chalk you are using gives you a bit more grab, particularly at slower stroke speeds, and the balance of your cue helps swing the cue, just so as you’re descending into shooting position, to get you lined up for a truer stroke… Lou Figueroa

Me too. Lou Figueroa

OK, calm down, lol. Lou Figueroa Kleenex?

I think I get it... but that's not particularly funny -- do you want to try again? Lou Figueroa ;-)

I think there are a few of us here that can hear what you're saying. Lou Figueroa

You're an accomplished bank pool player so I would give whatever you're doing some credence. Lou Figueroa

Ha! Lou Figueroa OK, it was funny

lol. good one. I will often have the same interior conversation on the long difficult ones saying to myself, "Self, are we men or are we mice?" Then I goferit. Lou Figueroa

hmmm, never heard that one, it's an interesting thought. There's one guy I play that just loves an up table game. It's easy to see by his face and demeanor that he is like a pig in ca-ca when he can merrily bunt balls upstairs. I try and go out of my way to cut him off at the knees and keep...

So here's my question: do you base any of your play on something so crazy, so out there -- but that works for you -- that you hesitate saying it out loud for fear of being laughed out of the pool hall. I mean even like Tin Cup, Bull Durham stuff. You don't have to reveal, just wondering...

Making money off them. Lou Figueroa

hmmmm, I don't think laying down the law is going to entice a younger player to come back for more. Lou Figueroa

Do any of the older/more mature players here ever, puposely "lay it down" when playing a younger/less experienced player to entice them into return engagements. Lou Figueroa just wonderin' if that was still goin' on

I will be there for a day or two. I look just like the photo to the left -- say "Hey!" Lou Figueroa
