A guy with bleached hair is a problem? Ill rob this guy if he wears a chicken suit!
No seriously, I dont care what my opponent looks like, what sex they are, or what they do when at the table unless it is something so outrageous that it would bother me if he was playing on the next table over. I dont get this whole thing but there are plenty of things about me that no one gets either so im not knocking anyone.
I heard a top pro who posts here btw say recently that you cant run more than 28-30 balls vs Jasmin "because she's a girl". He told this to several people and no one disagreed with him. I couldnt believe my ears! From a pro yet!
Im not saying im a killer, just that my game is equally bad no matter the opponent. I havent hammered down all the fundamentals of this game but, "play the table, not your opponent" came pretty easy.

Very funny! I'm still laughing.
I was once distracted (or maybe it's more like "mislead") by my opponents cue. It was at one of our state championships, and she showed up with a Pabst Blue Ribbon cue. Naturally I jumped to conclusions, played like I would get numerous chances at the table, and was pretty promptly beat.

I'll spot you 7 balls
That's a classic move lol. I know more than a few hustlers and excellent players locally who will play with cues straight from Wal-Mart/Sears/K-Mart etc.. in big tournaments or money games. Matter of fact one of the guys will walk in with the cue and mention the price tag in front of his opponent and then peel it off lol.lady9ball said:Very funny! I'm still laughing.

Nope . . . Never does . . .
Appearance never bothers me in the least.
"Hey . . . I know you missed . . . its okay . . . you just go right ahead and shoot again . . . I don't really need the money - just love to gamble . . . did anyone ever tell you that you have marvelous form . . . great mechanics . . . "
