'The Game is the Teacher' "Cash is Relative, no more, no less"
The money's just a way to keep score, the important thing is the pressure that is created. Competing against certain players is tough no matter what the bet. Sam Snead, the legendary golfer often played for $5 and he played like it was the last "fin" on earth.'The Game is the Teacher' "Cash is Relative, no more, no less"
I'll play 9 Ball or 10 Ball for $10 a game or One Pocket for $12.50 if anyone's interested in sharpening their skills in the DFW area. There's nothing like competition, and playing better players is always what did me the most good. (If only Bustemante, Efren or Rodney Morris lived in Dallas my game would be much, much sharper).
Pool is one of the few games/sports I've seen where players are discouraged from getting better. I guess the team captains don't want their team averages to go up, however, isn't that what life's all about......improving and developing?
I would like to see Dallas/Ft. Worth have the greatest teams/players in the country and I'm willing to help anyone that's interested. www.thegameistheteacher.com
Enjoy your weekend everyone, my email is thegameistheteacher@gmail.com if anyone wants private or group instruction.....I have some specials going on and can work with anyone's budget that really wants to improve. Aloha
How I wish I lived close! I have to plan a trip to Dallas in the next months. :thumbup:

If you offer still stands in a couple months I will get in touch with you. I have to get caught up with credit cards from the BCA Vegas trip. Being on social security I don't let them get out of hand.:thumbup:
It's tough to get players to play even cheap out on the road.......
I think it's great for CJ to post this offer on AZ.
It will give some players that want to play and rub elbows a little to see some top play in person one on one.
Out here it's a little tougher though. The players out here are mostly trying to survive.
I played a young man the other day a couple of races to 9 for $100. It was kind of like sheep to the slaughter. It was kind of like the crafty veteran on the side wanted to gauge my game so he sicked the youngster on me. Knowing how strong my game might be.
The youngster said. %#&% this to the crafty veteran. You try to play him some.
He used the word try.
Now this was on a bar table. Wham, bam, thank you maam.
Playing on the 9' table like CJ is doing and the player comes to him knowing he's donating for a great experience is a win win situation all the way around.
This gives the player an opportunity to work with CJ and open his mind to how much a lesson from someone that really knows his stuff can help and in a real quick hurry.
Just about every player I meet out here has never per say had a proffessional lesson.
Only a little help from a friend with limited teaching skills and maybe limited ability.
Could you imagine sending a soldier out on the battlefield'. just give him a gun to figure out for himself how it worked.
The ones that figured it out the quickest would probably live the longest.
But self taught would be marginal at best as far as tweaking the ability the fastest.
The same with pool.
$500 for a pool cue, $2,000 to $5,000 for a pool table and so much money spent to travel to play.
A $200 investment to learn how to use this stuff is so reasonable especially when you can learn the really correct info right out of the gate.
Good luck there CJ. I hope they keep you busy teaching and playing.

For reeals?
1,000,000/20= 50,000 holes
50,000/365= 136.98 holes a day
136.98/24=5.70 holes an hour
60/5.7=10.52 minutes per hole.
Must be a lotta $ bet on mini golf. :shrug:
Do the math is the teacher
I know an old road dog that has a couple of my hundreds on him. I hope he swings back through OKC sometime. Would love to hit 'em again!
I was actually told there was no way I can hang with you Gene by a man who should know. What ya think? Do I have a chance? What if I improve?
Back to the thread topic...
I hope to make it to Dallas to play CJ some. I saw him at Hawleys a few weeks ago. I would have dumped the tournament to play him had I known this was out there! I would like to see TOI in action!
Good luck out there, Gene!

The math teaches us that the millions are earned somewhere other then the golf course.But of course you all ready knew that.
A fine point. I have ASSumed, haven't I?
That reminds me
Gene,
We were in OKC at a tournament and I was on the rail. This 20 something and his buddy come in and are playing each other.
Then he gets in a game and beats the older veteran.
They call in the 40 something guy to play.
I think it was over after they matched up twice.
This time the youthful skill finished ahead. You could tell the men wished they still had the eye strength the young gun possessed.
They had just driven from Tunica heading back to Ohio, I guess going the log way home (No Supertramp).

My point is it's ok to play for small money even if you're rich

Wow, you don't think I meant they make a million a year playing for $5 a hole do you?
They make a million a year in their professional/business life, and they PLAY GOLF for $5 and $10 a hole. Many of the top PGA pros play for $5 just to "make it interesting".
My point is it's ok to play for small money even if you're rich. I just played some sets for $20 with a guy and broke even....it was still better than doing nothing (like most people do these days).
