What the hell are you talking about. :angry:
I'm actually a secret agent for the snooker community. This is a covert operations with the entent to change a mass number of rotation players (9 ball and 10 ball) and one pocket players to playing snooker.
A major part of our funding is provided by Brunswick and Diamond tables. While Daimond tables does not currently offer a snooker table, if I'm successful, pool halls all over the country will need to change from pool tables, which creates significant opportunity for both company's to expand both the gross profit margins and net income.
A significant amount of due diligence has been completed with projection in excess of 500,000 new snooker tables, which includes both pool halls and personal residences.

Trust me Gmanpoke is on the up and up, and I will vouch for him. He is a working stiff like me who only gets to play pool once or twice a week and tries to make the most of it when he does get to play.
I think he is on the right track playing with all levels of competition, many of us get too focused on the end results and forget about what we can learn from getting a few bullet holes from playing a champion.
I like to play Cliff even for 10 a game when I can, I figure losing 100 and learning a little something is better than letting him hold a hundred:thumbup::thumbup:
Keep up the good work Steve and I hope to see you in July with I come down to OKC for my beautiful mothers birthday.

I believe post #15 might give a little insight into Tramp Steamer's motivation with the continued attempt to start arguments.

If that is his goal, El Kabong will put a couple of knots on his head.
Me, I don't like arguing. It's a waste of time.
Oh BTW, my boat is out of the shop. The weekend is set for FISHING with my son! :woot:
I have nearly zero patience for someone who wishes no more than to attempt patronizing posters here.
Tramp, have a nice summer.
If you return in the fall, I hope it is with a better attitude.

Thanks for your suggestions. This is becoming a long Thread and its difficult to read through each post, but post #35 is where I provided some additional information about who I play and how I play them. I think that post will discuss many of the items you presented.
Thanks again for contributing to this Thread.

Gman,
You're right, that's all that matters... Now go get in the grease and learn something!
Ask Joey to pass along the lessons I taught him, they're worth their weight in gold.... Tell him to make an Ohio swing, I'll buy pizza and give him more life lessons.... Lol

Hi Joey,
I have not played Chip or Joey in a while. They have been on the road quite a bit lately. One of their stake horses took them on a trip through the South last summer. I believe they are in Wichita right now. I understand Joey just took down some cheese up in Olathe.
Also, I took another Job in August. Previously, I worked for the Federal Reserve Bank. Now, I'm a Chief Credit Officer for a pretty good size bank. So, I really have not had much time to play since August.
I did play Eddy Woodard last week. He plays pretty good one pocket. He use to spot me 10 to 5, but last week it was 10 to 7. I finished down 1 game.
I really think my game is improving. I'm not a great shot maker but I'm understanding the game much better.
I'll be moving from Oklahoma City to Tulsa before the end of the year. So, I'll have to start playing some of those Tulsa monsters instead of those two kids.
Good to hear from you Joey. I'm planning to make it to Derby this year, will you be there? If so, maybe we can meet up and dinner is on me.
Steven
Good to hear that your game is on the upswing.
The DCC is a strong maybe at this point. It would be great to meet you.
The fundamental question here is "Do you want to win or do you want to become a better player?"
The answer to both questions is the same.
You can learn from watching better players and what they do. You can not improve by playing them.
To improve you need to do drills and practice. It's not as much fun but it pays off in the end.
Winning is a different story. You win by matching up properly BEFORE you play.
Guess who is improving when you are playing Chip and he is winning? HE is!
Bill Stroud
It does if you have a wife, some kids, and a mortgage.
Can't you find some one there who'll play for shits and grins, or at least no more than table time?
Maybe he can just go to the back table and bang balls by himself. That would have to be the cheapest way to go. :grin::grin:
I imagine most golfers with any cash to their name would play Tiger or Greg NOrman or Jack Nicklaus or Rory M or whoever a 100 a side or 500 a side or whatever just to be in the game and to perhaps pickup some concepts and raise their game.
I am sure if you want to save some cash you ought to go play someone you can beat however if you want to beat players above you play players above them. It will pay off in the long run.
