Thanks everyone and congrats again, Andrea. I do want to correct smoooothstroke, because it was not a well-played match on my end at all. I can't remember when I played so bad...couldn't run 2 balls. Every safe was open, every kick short. I remember thinking to myself, "Now these tables do kick short, but this extra english ought to compensate for it." Wrong! LOL.
Add that to a bad call by the ref to get me on my 2nd foul of a 3-foul and there you have it. Andrea played as good as she needed to to beat me, lol.
I just watched the match again and I can't even believe some of the bad decisions I made. How about the last shot for her win? I was trying to MOVE the 9 ball and instead made the 6 ball! :thumbup:
What a nightmare, it started out when I got out of line (all the time) and had to go around the world and chumped and hung the 9 ball.
I did play pretty sporty to get to the Finals though, so I'm not complaining. Andrea played well and took advantage of my many weaknesses. Remember, I am 20 years older than her and have been whining about not getting to play in the senior division.

as well as an interview I did...in one take, that is why I was stumbling around, they didn't let me start over.
