I thought Spot was a dog? :scratchhead:

I think being asked 'if you're any good' is a bit invasive....
...how can one not be subjective?
Sometimes I just ask them to define 'good'...

In an action situation, it's like asking a poker player what his hole cards are.

If a poker player told you what his hole cards were, would you believe him?
 
Banks: I haven't said "you got the 8-ball, come get some" in almost 15 years, so there you go.

Just kidding, I can't even spot my cat the 8 anymore :-) ....but it did feel good to say.

I'd take it, but your location is a mystery!

Just kidding.. i never go anywhere but the bar.

I don't get a dog until i get a house, which is when i get my own table, oddly enough. I really hope it likes pool. I'll teach it to rack. Get it young enough and I'll teach it new trick shots. :thumbup:

Okay, here's your spot. :)

How's about a bigger Spot?

I played a good player for money once and lost. Does that count for anything?

I'm so bad, the 2-ball ghost gives me weight.

So bad, in fact, that i get participation trophies for racking.

Asked a guy what kind of spot he'd give me in 1p.. he said it would take too long to make that many balls.

I'm so bad, that if i even had any habits, they'd be bad, too.

Last time i gambled, they told me, "Don't quit your day job." I said it's pool related. They said, "Never mind, I take that back." :sorry:
 
I avoid a direct answer by saying "I used to play A LOT of pool", so they can take what they want from that answer. They usually don't inquire anything passed that but if they do then I give them a short but honest "I traveled the country and played with some of the best", most people think you're full of shit anyways at that point so why not give them some ammunition?
