Whew that’s a tough question; it’s situational; 2 racks is a good run for me a very good run. Although I love 14.1 and believe it to be the quintessential game I am not very good at it. I have a belief that (for me and my location) that it is best to play the highest % shot that will allow you...

I think you might need to be more specific.

Congratulations when I reach it (if ever) I will post to.

Wink; I assume that means this is a joke.

Quite frankly I wish that 3CB was not part of this poll/question because then it would be easy to answer (BTW I DO respect everyone’s opinion on this subject). I don’t think that games played on a pocket table and billiards table are really comparable in the larger sense. Sure for short games...

Actually I do consider it a “pattern of neglect” because once you ask someone who makes the statement “the ball has to go in CLEAN that eliminates all the luck involved” you go ahead and ask them “well what about the CB and the other OB’s on the table?” I am willing to entertain any logical...

:rotflmao1::rotflmao1: I already like you, seriously that’s wonderful. I usually put lots of IMHO’s, JM2C’s and JMO’s in my posts I just didn’t that time; just forgot. Well you can’t “eliminate” it in the true sense but that is another question all together. Think about what your saying (see...

Not a bad point in fact a good one; but IMHO (I haven’t tested it obviously) for every “fluke” point made in 3CB there are 100 “flukes” both good and bad that happen in a bank pool game; -accidental break out of a cluster -fluke CB carom off another ball to put the CB into a good spot for...

See the pattern? Only seen from the view of the OB. Hey guys let me remind you of something that you know very well but might not have considered in this particular question. In pocket games (all pocket games) the CB is at least as if not more important than the OB. :wave3::wave2: Many are...

I did say “might” depends on where you are I concede that. I probably don’t need to tell you that for most players it is that “The scale was way tipped to the mental side.” In my course I deal with “the mental side” a lot and I mean A LOT. One of my sayings is “pool is about 80% mindset and...

Time & Technology and the booze to. The thing that hurt the most was the unavailability of training material if I had had the internet and youtube when I was young I firmly believe I would be a world beater today. But when I started pool (good pool) was a dark secret.

An instructor that would not work with you on your “mental game”, attitude, focus and the like along with physics, strategy, technique and the like isn’t much of an instructor IMHO. Considering what “shrinks” cost these days you (might) have done better $ wise to have just started with a good...

The world of pool struggles because of a lack of unity. I do not see how discussions about pool could not help you, sharing your experience will help somebody somewhere; I say this is a lose lose situation, if you feel you MUST never post or surf I say farewell and wish you luck.

^^^^^ This guy is correct and is actually what I have been trying to say. ^^^^^ I think many people that have taken this poll have not considered how big and diverse the meaning of “luck” is. Many are just probably thinking to themselves “well in bank pool the ball & pocket has a stipulation...

I like many of your posts but; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I-elP0A5pg Just sayin

IMHO there is no pool game that has a lower luck factor than 3CB if you wanted to equalize it you could MAKE bank pool its equal by stipulating 2 (not 3 because of the call factor) rails the minimum. If you look at averages, high runs and the like you would come to the unquestionable conclusion...

Good 1. It takes about the same amount of time to look at a tip and see if it needs to be chalked as it does to chalk it. 2. It is guaranteed that it takes twice as long to look at a tip to see if it needs chalk and then chalk it. 3. When I see the person that does this it is a good sign that...

What is your pre-shot routine? Really; this is probably your problem I can not tell you how often people come to me with this exact problem.

This is an outstanding answer and I think I will start doing this; thank you!
