oops...I just gave a positive rep from the first page....on a post from 2007! I didnt notice the date until later, I am such a noob here. Well, I did like the post though.....
What is the greatest compliment someone has given you?
- Thread starter Rubyron
- Start date
Regular group of us play 5 dollar 8ball most weeknights from 5 till 7. I had won a # of games in a row. Broke and had a terrible table. Played stripes and scratched while making the 4th stripe. My opponent made 2 balls and missed a tough combo. He sits down and the guy next to him says" you are ok he cant get out from there". Opponent said to him "he will pull something out of his a#$#". I banked the first ball 1 rail. Banked the second ball 3 rails. Kicked the last stripe in 2 rails. Kicked the 8 in 1 rail. Opponent said to the "he wont get out guy", " you cant ever count him out".
Now if I can get someone to comment on my " great cueball control",I will be a player!

I was side-betting on tournament matches once....I won every bet including the finals.
The guy who lost the most money said....
"I just thought of a new way to commit suicide...I'm gonna disguise my self as a dollar bill and lay on the floor....
....this SOB will DIVE on me."
...hey, I felt pretty good. :happydance:

cold blooded strong
When a fellow pool player complimented me on my character on and off the table, and never even mentioned my titles or pool accomplishments. That meant a lot to me.

My mom said I was the best.
She lied to one of us then.............
You cant set yourself up for those........ :thumbup:
Not sure if it was the best compliment I have ever had, but it's the first one that comes to mind.
I ran, what was for me, a rather difficult layout of 8-ball in a tournament and afterwards my opponent says, "Nice run. That was a pleasure to watch."

"nicest sportsman i ve ever seen" after i gave my opponent ball in Hand in a final after i made a foul which nobody was able to see. even the referee said the same. His warm words and the following applause was far more worth than the 1st place i missed.

I was playing in a small tournament in Reno, I just won my my match 3-0, my opponent asked me where I was from, I told him I was from a small town about 70 miles away (almost nobody has heard of it). He then asked if that was where all the pros lived... I got a chuckle out of that one.
We play in a biweekly league with some old guys. One of them asked me if I knew Gary Spaeth. I told him I had heard all about him but didnt really start playing until after he had passed. The old guy said that my form and style reminded him of watching Gary when he was younger.
He must have been blind and senile lol, but i milked it for all it had anyway.

Sincere, genuine appreciation for my friendship and company.
