Earl Strickland at this week Monday night tourney at Steinway.
snooker legend steve davis was commenting on a pool game, i think he might be the best ever. i don't remember the player, but he was concentrating very intently on a slightly difficult shot. long time goes by, and the player misses. davis say, "he talked himself into missing that.."

My favorite is a line from Lassiter.
Upon missing a four ball gambling with someone at nine ball, he raked the balls and conceded the rack. When his opponent asked why he had done so, Lassiter's brilliant reply was "if you weren't out from there, you've got no chance to beat me anyway."
