My stress level is usually high at the beginning of any pool tourney/match, this past Sunday I played in a 8-Ball and 9-ball tourney back to back. The first 2 games of the day I had the butterflies but I shot well, after those 2 games I was relaxed and played well enough to win both tourneys. I...

My old dart partner would pass gas as she was leaving the line to pull her darts out of the board, it worked very well for our team. She has no shame and could fart whenever she wanted to! LOL

I bought a Lucasi LE9 back in October for $140, I like it but on occasion the tip irritates me. I have slowly been working on the tip shape but haven't got it to where I want it yet (I may have the tip replaced soon). For $140 I don't worry about it getting stolen or damaged, several of my pool...

When I miss a shot this is the first thing I check, usually I am to high. The lower I get the more accurate I am for sure.

I love the rules at my local hangout, you have to call everything, every detail must be explained. You cannot use the 8-Ball to aide in any shot (combinations). No slop in this establishment.

I'm going to play pool in a little while and I am going to wager that stupid monkey on the first game. I think I'm going to have a little trouble winning that game too. What is a fair wager for a monkey on your back? $10, $20. bag of bananas? 2nd shaft? LOL

The other night I had a pool dream, never had one before. That day I had won an 8-Ball tourney and was feeling good about my game, that night I dreamed I shattered my ferrel on a shot and was in a panic about what to do about it. Strange. Any of you guys dream about the game and apply any...

In my youth we played "1-15" 8-Ball all the time, I had completely forgotten the game until I read this thread. We never put any additional rules beyond straight 8-ball rules though, 1 ball had to go left side, 15 had to go right side. I was in Oklahoma so there was no way we would call it...

I turn 46 next week and my game is better then it has ever been. I was good as a teenager and in to my 20's but didn't play for about 25 years, I picked the game up again about 8 or 9 months ago and it was like ridding a bike. Only now I am much more disciplined at the game.

It was an informative post. You are one special person and if you aren't interested then Bite Me!

Erik, I encourage you to at least try the Bottle Pool game I mentioned earlier. You say your skill level is not high and you need a game to keep all the guys at the table frequently, Bottle pool will do this. All you have in play is the 1-Ball, 2-Ball and the pill bottle, pretty much an open...

Try Bottle Pool, it's may favorite. ------------------- TYPE OF GAME Bottle Pocket is among the few games that combine the objectives of Carom Billiards and Pocket Billiards. It is a unique game in the it uses a leather "shaker bottle" in addition to normal pocket billiard balls. PLAYERS...

Here is a real pool drawing, I drew it and my 11 year old granddaughter colored it.

Can I play on Mediocre Tuesday? Do you hold a tournament for the better players as well? If everyone is happy then it works for you, I want to play against the best players because I play a better game against them. Beating a mediocre field is a hollow victory to me. Just my 2 cents.

You can't get blood from a turnip! I have a couple of apartment buildings and I rent to college kids, they are some of the dumbest things I have ever met (turnips), pay a few bucks and go to a real pool room.

If it's the noise that bothers you then you need a method to block it out mentally. As I have posted before when I get to the table and I hear nothing in a crowded room I'm in the zone, if I get to the table and I hear everything from the music to the conversations I am not. When in the zone I...

I just enjoy the game period. I won't put more then $5 on a game though because I am better suited making money in other ways. Tournaments are great, playing partners sucks and the atmosphere surrounding the game is exhilarating. I like the off the wall games as in not 8-Ball or 9-Ball. Golf...

I didn't experienced this type of thing when I began playing again and started winning. It may be because when I started playing again I held back a little and socialized with the better players. Pool players talk to each other and I was the new guy in town so to speak, I took it slow and now...

I shoot the striped balls better then the solids, striped balls give me reference points to aim at, solids do not unless the number is close to where I want to strike it. It's a matter of contrast and my eyes are not as good as they used to be. If I had a home table I would definitely consider...
