I believe you know what to do, so do it. This is a minor problem in pool and life. If you need help with this one, I feel for you.

Maybe I am way off base, but these kind of responses about gambling and worried about the rent money and such are exactly what is wrong with pool these days. I was made to feel sorry for someone I busted once. His wife came in crying and such and I gave her back half the money. Long story short...

Once a player wanted to fight me because I continued a run out after he started unscrewing his stick. Personally I never took anything for granted and when I played I could care less what my opponent was doing with his stick or any other sharking methods so I continued shooting unless an overt...

to thine ownself be true ... Seems I heard this somewhere. If for some reason that's not possible; practice during a slow time.

4 balls on a 6 ball rack on a 4x8 and finished run. Mighty lucky.

You should always help when asked. I am sure most everyone has someone in their early beginnings of playing pool, that helped them in a "large way" or maybe it was offering bits of sage advice (practice, practice or use the KISS method). Always be courteous unless the situation dictates some...

Never,ever. No matter your strategy or lack thereof ... Take your medicine and then quit if you are so inclined.

I've played 30 years but I've took one break of about17 years. When I started playing again it was sort of strange. The game was fresh and fun . I played at my previous level ( I never played in league play in my younger years) for short time periods, a couple of hours. After about 2 months I...

10 racks in a row for $50 a rack in 1983. Since then I believe 7 is my high though I've run 5 racks on multiple occasions.

Sounds like pool player heaven to me.

Motivation Everyones needs to have the basics such as sound stroke and per-shot routine and good practice routines and the such. But what is supposed to motivate a person to put forth the work and sacrifices that are inherent to be excellent at anything. For me it was gambling. Not the mindless...

I think I resemble that remark.

Getting off to a strong start is helpful, because some pros are slow atarters and can get tempremental if they think a "nobody" is getting the best of them. You can't afford to have lapses in your game so keep practicing running out. This will offer you the best chance of bagging a pro. I've...

Just because you think someone's game is hurt by how much they have drank. In the last few years that I played pool I had to get hammered to play at the high level everyone was accustomed to seeing me play. I came out to Vegas one year as a free agent and was immeditely enlisted by a local team...

friends Friends are a fickle bunch. Some wouldn't think twice about losing a load (or taking your bank roll) and there are some friends who would act as if you had killed their dog. Gambling is a two way proposition (at least) so all parties should be Men. They collect when they win and pay...

Most 7's usually want some cheese with their wine. I played three years in BCA mostly and APA a couple of sesions. I, too, never could come to a terms with league sandbaggers. I finally just played wide open. It pissed people off, too. Just try and score as many 7-0s as possible as let the other...

Kiss I prefer the KISS method and hours upon hours of making balls and more balls and after all this prep work if you want to adopt a system that could ruin all that hard work, then by all means chase the ghost ball ...

pool is cool because ... ... what other game can you play for thirteen hrs and when you get ready to go home and you can't remember where you parked your car (pool is the drug). ... it is always there for you. Young or old, sane or senile, athletic or physically challenged; pool is a willing...

more quotes You never know how you look until you get your picture took. (When speaking of a players heart or lack of ...) Thintowin! (Used only for an awesome cut shot!) Kicks like a mule.

closed unless the table or situation calls for an open bridge. Cueball near the rail, or breaking with the cueball positioned near the rail where a modified two finger bridge can be very helpfull. I keep diffent types of bridges in My "toolbox" for different occasions.
