Ok. Worded that way, I have another answer: it depends on the person. There are definitely people who can't see novel approaches because they become locked into a strict way of thinking based on their past knowledge and experience. And then there are people like Corey Deuel who have that...

I think there are players that have trouble making decisions and then committing to those decisions. That's not necessarily the same as thinking too much. This trait is usually caused by players who are too worried about making the wrong decision, which is usually exacerbated by the arrogant...

How good are your eyes and how well is the table lit? In poor lighting, I have trouble seeing the edge of balls against dark rail cloth.

What they said.

I completely agree. If/when they get all the money, we know everyone will get paid. But they have to get the money first... I wonder what those other decisions will be.

I divide the money evenly among the players who play often enough to qualify for the session playoffs AND who I can rely on to show up when they say they are going to. I don't like the idea of using winnings from one session to pay off the next; too easy to lose track of it. If my players want...

That's why instead of setting a goal like "win this week's tournament", your goal should be "practice X hours every day leading up to the tournament." From the article:

Unfortunately, a lot of the rules are ambiguous. This is a good example. I think they just mean that you can't shout out what group your player has. I believe that if you called "time out" you could tell them. The reason I think that is that it is not listed under "illegal coaching".

NAPA recently (and quietly) changed the wording of the 10-ball rules: http://www.napaleagues.com/naparules/?id=501 Here's the 10-ball rule for calling pockets: Basically you are supposed to always call a ball and a pocket. If you don't and you pocket something, your opponent has the play...

In not-Communist-but-not-really-democratic-either Russia, glove wears you!

I agree with lorider. I've seen low-skilled players happy that they won because they didn't expect to win any games at all, let alone 2 or 3 to win the match. This usually comes with a healthy dose of realism; they know that if they had been playing even it wouldn't have been close. Look at...

Did you also walk to and from the poolroom in bare feet, over broken glass, through 3 feet of snow, uphill both ways?

This might happen if you change the American culture that says you have to go someplace on an airplane for your vacation. When my girlfriend tells her co-workers that on vacation we drove someplace "close", they give her a pitying look and say something like, "oh... well... that's nice too..."

Not just shooting and pool... Males are born with a gene that makes them think they know everything and that asking for help is a sign of weakness.

Where are you flying in/out of? Do you have connections? Can you drive to a bigger airport and get a direct flight to Vegas?

Did you ask him what he would have done if a TD allowed his opponent to use the MR anyway?

I agree the TD made a bad decision. But the decision was made and the OP either should have walked out in protest or manned-up and beat the guy anyway.
