Went to league last night after not picking up a cue for 4 straight weeks. It seems the layoff didn't hurt my game any. Faced a 7 in 8 ball and lost 5-1 in a 5-3 race. I messed up a few chances to make it 5-2 but cant complain. Its usually a 5-0 beatdown when i play this guy. He is about the...

Thanks dub. I started back to work today...light duty of course 😆 As for the drama on my team ? Since my last post i had another player confirm he was positive. Another is sick and getting tested. So last saturday i text the lo and cancelled last sundays matches. I slept on issue with the...

I had a talk with two team mates rhat were at the party mentioned previously since my previous post My co captain is in self quarantine now . The other one fits the idiot moniker to a tee. She said she was not infected and sent me a pic of her test results from dec 27th which was negative. ...

New session started last night after a bye week. I faced a 7 in 8 ball. 5-3 race with him going to 5. He gets up 4-0 on me and i tell myself its time for me to start playing smart since my shotmaking is a lil off. I start playing a bunch of safes and win the next 2 to make it hill- hill. Then...

I finished this session the opposite of last session. Last session i won 8 ball mvp and came in last in 9 ball. This session i came in towards the bottom of the pack in 8 ball and won 9 ball mvp. Pretty commom occurance for me to play great in one format and then lousy in it the next...

Your wife sounds like the girl i knew was going to become my wife although she didn't kmow it at the time.. I was dating a girl that knew i lobed pool and she had no problem with it. We used to go to a bar where i shot pool and ahe hung out and danced with friends. I was playing for beers...

Dont take what i am about to say as a recomendation of what to do in those situations. But first let me say i practically spent every weekend in bars in my younger days. Table conditions or warped house cues didnt faze me one bit. Just happy to be playing pool. When i got into leagues and...

I feel the same way jeff. The fact is there are a lot of players that seem to try harder at playoffs or higher than they do a regular league night. As some of you long time poster may know...i used to play on 4 teams a week. Over the last few years i cut it to just one team. 4 was just too...

It seems that most higher level players around here have the same attitude as you. Here is my experience. I first joined masters in 2011 as a 4. I joined apa in 2010. I was the only low level player in our masters division and the only reason i was able to play was because i was on our...

Whether it be league...gambling or just a friendly game.. 8 ot 9 ball ? I have a few i would like to share . Playing in a 9 ball money tournament using apa rules and points scoring. I was a 5 at the time ....now a 6 ...and faced another 5 in a 38-38 race. I was down 35 - 15 . i scored 23 -...

I had another one of those shoulda...coulda ..woulda won matches last night.. But first a lil backstory . i have always been the type of captain to match up as close to handicaps as possible...exceptions during playoffs or higher when the situation warrants. Usaually it was me that was the...

Apa does have a table factor. Every score sheet has several boxes at the bottom and you mark the one that coresponds wity the size of table you played on. We have played on 7 foot valleys and 9 foot gold crowns. Well also a few 7 foot diamonds but brands of tables are not marked...just sizes.

Hate to hear of your negative experience. I gotta say there have been a few times people have gotten my blood boiling but thankfully those imcidents have been few and far between. Also helps that i have mellowed a bit in my old age and don't hold a grudge for more than a year or so now...

I drive by there occasionally and it seems like bussiness is doing good as i see the employee parking section full late in the afternoon. Occasionally see quite a few customer cars there also. I played in a travel league sometime back and we would play there every few weeks as he had a team...

I had league last sunday but wanted to wait and until i mulled over who to blame for what went down. We faced two teams that night trying to get a make up out of the way. For clarity the scheduled team that night is team 1 and the make up was team 2. We started an hour early with team 1 and...
