I went to the local dive last night to shoot in a small 9 Ball tourney.on their crumby bar box tables. The cloth was filthy and the tables remind me of an un-mowed golf course. I swear the ply wood floor moves when you walk on it.
I'm surprised the little hick town I live in hasn't condemned the place. the jute box was blaring, the place was full of smoke and a couple of the bar flies were almost louder then the jute box. I won't even try to describe the bath rooms, yuk!
Any way I loose the lag and the guy dry breaks. I make a combo with the 1 and 9 ball. I then break and make 6 balls including the 9. A personal best and a fluke. I break again and make 3 balls and the 9, but jump cue ball off of the table. If I could of kept the cue ball on the table I would of won 3 games in a row with 3 shots. Rest of the tourney I could only make one on the break and was usually hooked for the next shot.
I took 2nd and the guy that beat me got his first ever tourney win! He was thrilled and I was very happy for him and invited him over to my house to shoot some pool today. I think he has potential and just needs some good table time on a decent table.
