The first open tournament i ever played in, which was in 2004. First guy i played, won the coin toss, broke ran out, breaks makes a ball, and plays safe, i kick make the ball miss the next one, and he runs out, runs out next 3 racks, and plays safe, i kick miss, he runs out the set. And i loose 9-0.
Do i feel bad? NOPE it was kewl to watch.
Next Open Tournament i had to play another top player, He starts out with a 5 pack on me. comes up dry, and i run out. He runs the next rack, and then miss's on a easy 4 ball, i run out. Break come up dry, and he runs out the set. I loose 9-2, and he could have easily run out all 9 racks. Did i feel bad about loosing ? NOPE It was nice to sit there and watch him run racks effortlessly.
Its moments like this that put you in your place, when you think your actually getting good at this game, and stuff like this happens.
In the second tournament, a guy I know who was playing in the tournament came upto me after my match was done, and said " So he plays pretty good doesnt he? " and my response was something like UM YEA!!!!! you could say that again.
