Unfortunately, with the passing of our horse G-Bo a week ago and being in the middle of a bathroom remodel, I haven't been playing or practicing.
I have a battle royale set up for this weekend with Eagleshot (aka Nannershoes aka Mark) for the coveted title of "King of the TN AZ wannabes". I never play any game except 9 ball because the only time I leave my house is when there is a tournament. We are going to play a short set of 9 ball, 8 ball and banks. My hopes are high but my expectations are realistic. Eagleshot plays quite a bit now and has improved a lot in the past year so it will be a chore to snatch the crown. If I play like I can I have a good shot but if not I will order another beer and congratulate the victor.frankncali said:
I have been out collecting cans all week and have finally scrounged up the $50 post money so at least that is a load off my mind. Wish me luck.

Good luck!!
I know I'll need it......

Sorry Jaden, you seemed like a nice enough guy when I met you but you do overestimate your skills. I've played against Sam and you and honestly he could give you the 6 out. I hadn't hit a ball in months when we played and I won a big majority of the games so we switched to one pocket(which I don't even play) and I still won 5 in a row before you finally won a couple. I would have never said anything to you about this but I've seen you make that Sam comment a few times now and someone needs to save your money for you in case you do decide to gamble.
I tried to be respectful to you while you were in Corpus as an AZB member so I didn't woof at you to gamble but my friend did the next day and you had several excuses why you couldn't play according to him. A fair rating IMO of your game is a good B player, nowhere in the league of a AA or maybe even AAA like Sam.
If you are as good as you think, other people will do the chest pumping for you.

I hope to play this Sunday at HT's.
Let me know Alabama!!

Jayden good on you. Good move. Most players dont even realize they suck. They go on thinking they are better then what they actualy are. All they are doing is fooling themselfs into thinking they are were they want to be. It is very dificult to learn or improve when you dont know or dont think you need to. Remeber when you first got hooked? how hungry you were? How fast you progressed? You Knew you sucked and you wanted to get better. And you did!! I dont personaly know you but this is how it is for just about all of us at first. Now you hit a plateu amd you need help.
I am not kidding go talk to Louie. If you litsen and do the work you will get over the hump.
Rep for you!!

Sorry but I cant guarantee that I can play this Sunday. Next week I am free most all the week and need to make a trip to the West side and Valley.
Perhaps that will work.

Only one thing here... Manole isnt going to give Jaden the 6-out. There was no need for that comment.
How about something along the lines of I played you both and Shane appeared to be a much more polished player.
Sam plays great and I respect his game alot. Jaden plays well and isn't in Sammy's league just yet. No harm there.

quite a transformation. Congrats!! I need to do the same.
By the way... whats this homework crap your giving Russ !!!! I didn't know Russ was in training.
It doesnt matter ... The jeweler is just about swapping the fake stones for the real ones in my Kings Crown!!
You playing the 14.1 this weekend ??????
frankncali said:
Sounds good. I work on the West side and live in the Valley. We could play at my house if you want.
Corey did give me some pointers about 3 weeks ago and I have played about 3 hours since! I better watch it, I'm starting to sound like Fatboy!!
Russ.....

I will probably come down to HT this weekend to watch a little of the 14.1. I do want to play pretty bad, but it's my B-Day weekend and there were some plans already made for me.
About the transformation, there are a million ways to do it, but only one right one in my opinion. Lifestyle change! Best of luck to you and I'd be more than happy to share my experience with you.
grinds, I am a B player. I know I suck comparred to the champions. In the grand scheam of all players a B player is very good, however they are not even close to a world champ. If a B player believes he has arived or thinks he/she is an A player then they may be satisfied and their progression stalls. If that same B player realizes how far they have to go to become great it is inlightning. Some will will see the task as unatainable or too difficult or not worth the effort and loose their hunger. Others will see the how far they need to go and will continue to work untill they get there. They are the ones who become great. This is what I call "realizing you suck" Its no soo much that you suck, its more realizing how much you dont know or how far you are from being great.

I was just trying to say that the way you say things on a forum can be taken in the wrong context very easily. Especially when you use inflamatory language. Talking about oneself with derogatory terms.....no problemo.... about others......go easy. That's all I meant.
Oh...and by the way ....I know I play like crap....

I'm not in So-Cal, but I have the prerequisite posts, and am residing in California.
Does your challenge also encompass NorCal players?
And how would we get that tiara moved to the northern part of the state if you are at least 6 hours out of the way.
Not exactly worth the drive for a couple of $50 games...
But I'm sure I can find some tables to work on that direction to make it worth while to drive closer.
And since I don't play tournaments, gamble, smoke, cuss, or chew, nor associate with those that do, it should be a fairly easy game for someone! (it was all I could come up with...)
Of course I also haven't gotten onto a table more than a dozen times since the end of March, either.......lol
We could call it the "FrankinCali Warmup"!
Hey, how about a King of Cali three ball tourney!
$50 a man per round would make for a great way to spend a Saturady afternoon!
Of course since I'm not the king I would have to get the last two from you right?!
