Pervert. Don't yo be worrying bout my dbag
My line is to thin. 20 years ago I was gambling and the guy I was playing used both
his hands and I was playing one-handed.
As the night went on, I was up close to a grand playing barbox 8ball.Well, after about
8 straight hours of playing, the stakes went up but my arm was getting sore and could
feel it trembling, due to fatigue.
I started missing easy shots but kept winning.Everything was getting harder to do and
my focus started going down the toilet as well.
I remember losing 3 games in a row, and on the 4th game I jarred the 8ball in the corner.I proceeded to whacking myself in the head with my cue which hurt like
a ***** but I had to wake up.
He missed his run out and I got up to shoot the eight and almost fell over
from dizziness.As I bent down to pot the eight, I seen a drop of blood land on the cloth.
I had to quit playing that night as I split my head open just above my hairline.
After that night I thought if I don't tone it down about a 100 notches,I'm just going
to quit playing.Needless to say I've toned it down about 50
i posted this story before but i believe it fits this thread.
i made my 1st trip to vegas this year. there was only 5 of us on the team that could make the trip. 2 girls one is a 2 and the other a 3. 2 other guys both 4's plus myself a 5.
in out 1st round the 2 girls played at their best but the 2 guys absolutely sucked. they both has that deer in the headlights look and made stupid mistakes. after 4 matches we are down 48-32. i was pissed at our 2 guys and took it out on my opponent ''another 5;; winning 38-4. 1st time i have ever skunked an opponent and we won 52-48.
our next round pretty much the same thing ...me playing last and winning against another 5 18-2.
next round i faced a 7. he is up 18-0 before i ever get to the table. he broke and ran the 1st rack . ran to the 9 2nd rack before he missed. from that point on i matched him point for point scoring 36 to his 37 before he reached his required points and me losing only needing 2 after being down 18-0.
next round i just gave up and felt like i was fighting a lost cause for this team and i lost to a 3 lol.
bottom line is i was highly upset at my teamates and that lit a fire in me along with a few jack and cokes and i played the best i ever have.
wish i could play at the level every week.

No way man. I went to Dean Martinos school of Italian Coolness.
I think most will agree that playing mad is not good and being able to keep your cool is the best way to go.
Altho, in the past there has been a bit of personal history behind the odd opponent and it gives me nothing but pleasure to beat them handily.
The odd player will do something early in the game to tick me off and a bit of steam coming out of my ears will give me a small edge and the incentive to crush them.
But hey, in the long run, calm, cool and collected will win the race.
Mad at the guy personally? No I generally play worse.
Mad as in kill mode on the pool table? I'll play better than my usual game.

I tried to rep you for this, 'Stan
' but AZ wouldn't let me........wth :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:
To play your best, you should be serene....then you can see what you MUST do.
If you're mad, you tend to do what ever you WANT to do......
I knew an old-time boxer who was all forces boxing champion in WW11.
He said that he never got mad in the ring...couldn't afford to.
When i play bad i get mad at myself and i start playing better. I was down 3-0 in a match yesterday and won 6-3. Unfortunately/fortunately I'm a slow starter so i play most of my matches mad. :wink:
