8-ball, Do I rake the balls after the break if he has an open table?

And if you think you need to pull "maneuvers" to win...that's only gonna give the other guy more confidence knowing you think you can't win....
 
who does this in 8 ball, I never herd of anyone do this? If some jackass is willing to give me the game like that i will take it with a smile :grin-square:
 
Chris you cant be a very good player everyone of your threads is about rigging racks, not calling your own fouls not letting your opponent get into stroke. Whats wrong you cant beat anyone with your skill? You must need all these sleazy moves to beat a bad player take all the time you spend in starting these foolish threads and practice and play the game on the level
 
Yes..... then take all the money in my pocket throw it on the table and go ask his girlfriend to dance.... why the heck not its friday.

You have not made an allowance for the mental part of the game!

The outcomes of a set or race (unless very short) will be a function of not only your skill and mental prowess, but also of your opponent's. So in a simplistic model, we could assign 4 variables. We would also need to assign a fifth variable, which would be termed error or randomness.

Certainly you are able to control your own skill, and your own mental prowess. But you are also able to contol the mental prowess of your opponent. And if the mental prowess of your opponent is a variable in our model, then decreasing the mental prowess of your opponent will increase your chance of winning.

Are you not ready to admit that your behavior will have a direct affect on your opponent's mental approach? And if you will not admit it, then what premise can you provide for your belief?

My behavior is one of respect for my opponent and of the game, I do not try and throw my opponent off nor do I rig the game or equipment that Im playing I play my best no matter if Im playing for fun or for money, I do not use these dirty tricks to lower myself and if I cant win with out them I will practice and get better not try and figure out a quick unethical way.

And will you furnish your opponent with a padded chair, a cup of coffee, his favorite music, play on his favorite table, pay his table time, buy him dinner at the olive garden?
 
What happens if your opponent is already in sync and he is the better player and you just gave him free game and he takes that as a boost of confidence because he smells your fear and runs the set out?
 
you can rake the balls anytime you want with me, just pay up sucka. I can assure it wont hurt my game EVER.

RJ don't you know?

It's quantity, NOT quality! :wink:

The OP read the Jack Hines thread and it sparked something deep inside him, where he felt the need to start this hooplah.

Maybe it was the praise and accolades some posters mentioned about Hines, about his talents, and his antics. Some are attracted to these types, obviously the OP is. The only way he can experience the sensation of being a well known, highly talented, drug addicted pool player is to pretend that he does the same things the early Hines did.

And then propose silly questions like this one on an Internet forum to get his rocks off on responses, much like this one!

Am I close banks?

Another reason this technique gained so much prominence is that it reduces the time you spend in the electric chair.

And if this is the case, you sorely need work on your mental game.

Is it just me, or are most of your threads about "how to shoehorn a 'move' into one's game"? I don't think I've seen a thread from you yet that wasn't a question of how to either skirt the rules, or else attempt a "move" to weasel-in some kind of "advantage" that's not in the best interest of sportsmanship.

But then again: 1.) I don't play in any of those region- or nation-wide leagues (only in-house), thus not having to deal with those most-oft-talked-about "league match-altering techniques" like that; and 2.) I play mostly 14.1 and one pocket, where shark moves like that are not tolerated.

No. The topics I have brought forth are discussed daily at any pool room. I have no idea about how Hines used to play. but I am sure there are hundreds of players who played just like him.
