Thanks for celebrating with me, people! It did make me pretty damn happy to achieve something I always wanted to, but has resigned myself to deal with it not happening.
It was alternate break and in my last few matches, I had a really strong b/r %.
I beat a lotta good players and all of them were pretty dam cool about it, particularly west and Wilkie. It was almost as cool as winning, to have them speak to me in a manner that made me believe they shared a little pleasure in my success.
And honestly, I only got one crappy roll in me last couple sets, I shot a flyer and one of the balls I moved got In the way of the pocket for which I played shape. Of course, a pocket is never more than 3.5ft away, so I played a 3 ball combo/ carom on a ball near a side pocket. Of course I got perfect on the following ball...it was my weekend, no doubt.
I went for the minimum bid, 10.
A friend that was there told me before my name came up that he was gonna bid me up if I didn't split...I had set a 30$ limit for myself- full or half- and I was sure he woulda out bid me, so I said ok. Whaddya gonna do?
He gave me a nice tip out of his half anyway...not sure if I made him sweat all weekend!
