1pRoscoe said:Funny, I never say "good luck" either. I usually say "good shooting" or something similar...
Why would I want to wish my opponent good luck?
So....you've seen me shoot??SonjaBlue03 said:I get it, play with their mind. I won't need luck to beat you, LOL! (You gotta admit, you left yourself open to that one!) *poke*

Pelican said:Before being critical consider that maybe the ball banger just doesn't know enough to perform to your expectations. Did we all shoot as well when we first started as we do today? Offer polite suggestions that will hopefull improve their game so that they don't get on your nerves. If that doesn't work - take their money and don't worry about it!!!!![]()
SonjaBlue03 said:Or, how about this: A girl plays on the tour (and I won't share her name!) when she misses, she walks away from the table and looks at the shot and says (in a voice just loud enough that you can hear) "I still left her a tough shot, she's not out". EXCUSE ME?!?

Tbeaux said:This is just my opinion but what your opponent says or does just shouldn't matter.If you're that easily distracted by what happens away from the table you've just given you're opponent an advantage.If whatever they're doing affects the table you are playing at that moment call a foul or kick their ass!
Reading through this thread it seems to me several of the posters could quite easily be taken right out of their game.
As for Earl controlling his environment when he's at the table,I think your right about that.I've heard that he also likes to control "HIS OPPONENTS ENVIRONMENT" when they're at the table.![]()

Boro Nut said:That one's easy. If it's a tough shot she's just stating the obvious. Your reply should be "It's a good job I can do them then".
If it's not really tough at all, and she's just trying to put you off, you absolutely have to say "X $$$ says I'll pot it". There is no way I would miss that pot. If she chickens out say "Come on, my cue against yours, it was a tough shot two seconds ago". That will shut her up, and you can always sell the cue on ebay.

I'm a ball banger, I smoke em. There are 6 big holes, the 9 might get lucky. Ride that 9 boys, that's the way to gamble at 9 ball. Before you all start a congo line to get at me, I'll be playing in the us open. You can get some there.
BigLip said:im talking about those guys that just smack everything hard and hope it finds a pocket...
my favorite are the ones that actually act like it was intentional when it goes 6 rails into the side...![]()
or...like the guy i was playing last night...if ever i fouled...no matter what the lay of the land was and how low a percentage shot the 9 was he was smacking away! hahaha it was too funny
and how about this? he shot at a pretty straight 7-9 combo...(i woulda just run out b/c it was easy w/ only 3 balls but anyway...) he misses the original pocket and makes an awesome one pocket bank shot cross corner and struts off and puts up his win...man i just laugh and laugh...
or even this...smack a shot...blow a easy out on an easy lay and leave you pinned on another ball and acting like that's what they meant to do...hahahaha "just what i wanted"
the only thing is...this is who i play w/ and he seems content w/ banging balls around...i want some real competition really trying to be good...i will be honest...at times i just cant get into playing games w/ him...![]()
