$20 makes me sting, i never lost sight of where i came from

im off to bed, hungry lol, well not lol, but what else can be said?


i'll probably tell the story tomaro, were playing again monday on a gold crown regular 8ball. so there is a chance, they were cool about it,

It was a Serbian game with Serbian rules, the rules beat us, not the pool. and the while the equipment is the same for both sides-they are used to the big ball. i'll explane later, i got to sleep some

thx guys,

Eric:smile:

the game was on a 8' coin op table, big CB, there was 3 14 balls LOL and 2 9 balls, there was the correct number of stripes and solids just the numbers were messed up, and tehy werre from different sets, so they weighed different so the big CB would just roll thru some some balls and not teh others, there was no way to know where the CB was going.

it wasnt pool, it was their game, when you scratched the CB goes on the spot, if you make a solid and strip you lose the inning, so cant open break, the correct break was to glance off the head ball and scratch. another fantastic rule was when you scratched the CB was spotted and you couldnt hit any ball that was below the center of the table, so you had to kick at everything. and If you hook a guy were he cant see the edge of the ball its push out-so no hooks. no rail aint a foul, keep all that straight and play on a table that rolls off every direction possible and see how ya do? there are more rules, i just cant recall them now,



Me and another guy played it, I played better than the guy who won, the guy with me plays a hair below Mad Max i'd guess, he couldnt win that game last night. he robbs me period on regular equipment-i got ZERO chance ever in life to play his speed( we played 5 hours tonight). he couldnt out run that game-it as their game period, SVB might not win, no knock its that brutal. I think maybe Bobby Cotton, Matlock and Danny Medina(RIP) could win cause they could play big ball CB. Cotton plays good 1P and runs the balls good, he of everyone i know in pool would have the best chance in that game, forget JA, Hatch, SVB, those skills aint required to fade that action. no knock but only the old big ball guys have a chance and still mite not get there.


then we find out the whole story today, about who we played. Wow, lets say i got nothing to say right now. it could have been worse if we won.


never again will i play last pocket 8 ball, not a single rack ever.

Some of those spots where they play last pocket 8 ball in Germany are populated with a lot of gangster money. You have to know your way around for sure and even then it's not always safe.

When you're in one of those places with the gaff rules, funky balls and weird tables AND you're up against the gangster money it's tough action. Real tough.

But you can (or I should say could when I was there) find spot where the people are normal and just love to gamble and the equipment is good and the rules are sane.

I personally find last pocket 8 ball to be a great game when played under the good conditions but really frustrating under the wrong ones. I finally settled on the strategy of asking them to teach me the rules. Seems they were always willing to show me all the rules and then gamble and this made it a but friendlier. That said I did end up in one fight over rules in one of the spots which ended with no one actually hitting anyone else thankfully.

i have spots here that are normal safe spots too. just no action. so i went to the hood. it was fun for sure. losing sucks, i knew it was tough action. i been around lots of joints like that for years. not my first or last rodeo on the WRONG side of the tracks.
