i thought or at least it has been told to the masses, is that anything put on the net should no longer be considered private; including private messages. so therefore ... pms are only that in name only.

an old hustler once told me "winning solves everything." he was pretty much right too. once you've done all the things in the posts previously mentioned, then it's up to u. the only way to lose "the heebie-jeebies" is for you to win, and that is dependent on more things than practice and...

yep. your story is true for rooms and bars across the u.s.

push your limits. play people that are at least as good as you, and play those players that are better than u. don't just play either. put something on the line each time you play, and i don't mean the table time either. nothing will improve your game more than gambling. u can pay for lessons...

good clean white cotton cloth very fine tri folded piece of sandpaper 2 airplane size (very small) bottles of vodka-smirnoff red will do roll of quarters

i once quit for a three month period. i actually was going to quit pool totally, but in those three months of inaction i had begun to have vivid dreams and i would talk all night about playing pool. i would call the shots, the bantar of matching up, and the whole nine yards. after this stuff had...

good advice, but when i wanted to take my game to the next level i would play different tables, sizes and physical locations that are not familiar. this should take away the boredom factor and who knows u might matchup with an unknown. this will help your game immensely; especially if u win...

"I mean we're not back in the era of "Cornbread Red" pool." one thing's for sure, in "cornbreads day" they weren't worried about reinventing the pool room. They were too busy making money running pool rooms.

when my better half asks where i was last nite and because i'm looking for a clear exit ...

bet an amount that will "hurt" if u lose. lose a few times and focus won't be a problem.

when i was 18 and starting to play pool and gamble; well i wasn't too good at gambling or playing pool, and i lost a match and i owed the guy. no problem, the winner said, "meet me next friday and we will settle up." next friday came and went and maybe a month or two later he walks in on me...

I hate scuffers in general, but i too have a williard on my key chain. i have never used it but others who have borrowed mine seem impressed.

first question: do these blackouts happen in competition, in other words are u playing for more than pool time. if these dreaded sabbaticals occur under duress them maybe it's as simple as adjusting your approach to the game. perhaps it's as simple as u direct your energy toward the table than...

yep, but i've also experienced the reverse; "no good deed goes unpunished". pool is a part of life and to some of us IT IS LIFE. no surprises just life.

tommy "buttermilk" brown. he taught me more by expecting the most out of me without lessons or advice. the "look" would let me know if i was moving in the right direction; old school all the way.

if you are scared call 911, they will get there quicker ...

u would have to have machine gambling, and sports book to make it and run a card game after hours if u wanted to make more than ten bucks an hour.. otherwise bad business equaks a bad investment.

which recession? there have been 3-4 since 1980 and real income has stayed the same while everything and i mean everything has increased price wise. bring back good paying jobs and the pool world will explode.

"you never know how you look until you get your picture took" as an old hustler used to tell me. go play someone tough for the cheese and then get back to us. good luck.

losing did it for me. i played in many extreme places; loud music. crazy people, crazy drunks, alluring hot women, alluring ugly women, and the list could go on forever. besides the fact that i hate losing I also hate being ribbed by my friends and the players that i would lose to when i let...
