Good luck! All in good fun buddy!
Edit:...one of my matches was after a lot of beers
160 and 36 - Yeah, I guess you can't win them all

You've got me thinking I need a spot now! Only one match after a lot to drink? Slacker..
* 8-Ball Lifetime Win Percentage: 68%
Yep, I'll take a game on the wire. :thumbup:
Give me two games and I'll book the flight today!
:idea:
If we play even..
we drink even!
I know, its a little lower than it should be. When I first came back from college and joined a team as a 6 I sandbagged to stay that way for about a year so "potentially" there could have been 5-10 more wins. I finally decided screw it I hate losing and I turned into let's just destroy people mode !
Played another 4 tonight, skunked her in 12 total innings 3-0. I seem to be coming out of my slump

Yeah, even for APA, that is destroying mode. You must clean up in all those local tourneys I see advertised in IA
I'm getting into a slump :frown:
I barely won my match last night 12-8.
I scratched four times on the break!
1. Made 2 balls and scratched in the side.
2. Made 3 balls and cue ball of the table.
3. Made 5 balls!!! and scratched in the side.
4. Made 2 balls and scratched in the side.
I couldn't get the cue ball to stick, every time it would glance off the rack straight for the right side pocket.
FFS control whitey! Do you break down the middle or from the side? If I feel I am scratching too much I take some off my break to help with control. I may not make 2-3 and might actually not make any, but no ball in hand for my opponent.
I break from the head string, one diamond out. Usually with 1 or 2 tips above center. I tried breaking harder and softer and it still went to the side pocket.
It was on a Diamond barbox with 5+ year old cloth and dirty grimy balls.
That's about where I break. I wonder if you are hitting the side of the one ball on the break? It is possible the cue ball just got bumped into the side by another ball which I call more bad luck then when it just goes straight in there to which I refer more to operator error.
Still to get back on track I may break down the middle and take just a hair off my break to get my mindset past the scratching aspect.
I have a feeling we would be trouble drinking at the bar excessively at the same time lol. A buddy and myself will play messed up games for shots like Honolulu, or even bank 8 last pocket. I'm still favored vs him, but it tightens the gap a bit. Plus...who doesn't like free shots? :grin:
I can't play even with either of you....but I'll take my chances drinking even
new to posting in this thread
I only play one night a week in a BCA 8 ball league.. quit playing pool totally for about 3 years and have been back playing a day a week or so for about 7-8 months.
Monday is our night and we play 3 man teams and each player plays a set of three games against the other teams guys. So we play 9 games each if you play the whole night. All games on bar boxes
We finished 2nd last session and our currently 1st this session
Team won 15-12 this week and I won 7-2 in mine. This was against the best team in the league IMO.
I had 2 break and runs and twice ran out after the break of my opponent when he made nothing on the break.
Lost a game I should not have by hooking myself on the 8. really over rolled shape and froze myself behind a ball. But I won a game or so I shouldn't have. Good player missed an 8 one game that surprised me
I used to play APA and was a 7/9 .. I don't know winning % and dont know how to get the information like I see posted.
