Like I said, I know that I'm correct about this. It doesn't matter to me if the majority disagree. I know that guy's and especially pool players have huge egos. In fact, you must have a big ego IMO to excel at pool. It's what helps drive a player to get better.
But the ego has also convinced many that in public, you need to say things like I'm always going to volunteer to play the toughest player. Captain's convince themselves that THEY have the skill to determine the best match-up and playing order to make the team win or do better, when the reality is, who plays who is normally a wash if everyone plays their typical or average game.
