The.same team that won it last year won it again. Two brothers and their brother in law.
They all are dang good for their handicap. I keep saying their 6 should be a 7 but so many people say I should be a 6 instead of a 5 so I degrees. :grin-square:
After masters was over I had about an hour and a half before my double jeapordy league so I made the 10 minute drive to the other pool hall . When I got there I ordered something to eat and shot the bull with the owner. Several players were getting free practice and asked if I wanted to join and I declined deciding to just chill out for an hour.
Won 9 ball 28-24 in 18 innings vs another 5 with a few safes played by both of us.
Played the same guy 8 ball with me winning 4-3 in 21 innings with a few safes played by us both. I had a break and run the last rack.
Maniac brought up in a previous post not too long ago which has been a sore subject with me. Broke ass pool players. Last night was the last straw for me and to say I lost it would be an understatement.
It came to the point where I told certain players if they don't have money necessary to pay for their matches and have enough quarters to not bother showing up.i have actually lost track of how much one player owes me.
As If that was not enough bull crap drama unfolded the last 9 ball match as I was playing the last 8 ball at the same time.
I think I have to describe my player involved in that 9 ball match ....if that is possible lol..so you will have a better understanding of what transpired.
This guy is a pretty good 5 90 % of the time..he has been a 6 once or twice. He has driven me nuts a few times with his lack.of memory concerning some of our conversations. He also has a habit of bragging about his wins a lil too much and complaining about his losses a lil too much but otherwise a pretty decent guy.
While we were both playing at the same time he took it upon himself to come up to me ...sometimes as i was about to shoot complaining about how he missed a shot...scratched...or whatever..i finally told him in an exasperated voice to shut up as I was trying to win my own game. Btw ...he had never done somethin like that before.
When my game was over his opponent ...and her boyfriend...who I was playing...which are both former team mates of mine and we are still quite friendly.. She claimed my player made several fouls during the match and I lost count of how many times she said he cheated by refusing to admit to bad hits.
I think I surprised her by saying I believed her as I knew he has had a history of doing that in the past but I had not heard of him doing it in the past couple of years. I told her about the time several years ago he had done it to me several times in a match where I finally called for the lo to come over and watch every shot no matter how far apart the balls were.
I reluctantly explained to her there was nothing I could do about it and she should have called for an observer. She explained to me several people on both teams watching the match agreed that a few were bad hits. Knowing that it was probably true about the bad hits i really felt bad having to quote the rule that without an actual observer the call goes to the shooter. I asked him about the fouls and he said they were good. Maybe he really believes they were good or he is a damn good liar .
I text my lo.last night and told him I was about to go nuts on my team.
Well I am.taking the whole week off to get ready to torture myself with another tournament next weekend. I just may play Thursday 9 ball cause I don't think I can last all week without playing at less once.:grin-square:
So no more rants from me all week.:embarrassed2:
