You know, now that i think about it.
I have lost all perception of space and time a couple of times when either gambling or during a tournament, but i never attributed it to anything, but now i am wondering if i should.
I'm talking where i could not see straight, after playing absolutely fantastic, the match before, or fantastic leading up to the time i was in the toilet.
I am talking about not being able to run out the 8 and 9 with ball in hand, and other similar pathetic displays.
I mean, i know i can run out of gas with the best of them, but sometimes, it just never made sense.
Hhmmmmmmmmmmm?
But, I think the only time where i knew i was ALMOST jarred, was when i was Gambling with Eric Durbin in the upstairs room, playing one pocket at the Derby a LOOOONG time ago.
I had him stuck, and when i was up like 6 games, i looked over at the sidelines for my diet soda and someone that was betting against me on the rail had it in his hand.
The instant i looked over at him, he said, "is this yours?" and when i said yes, he said that it almost got knocked over and handed it to me. (everything was on the floor)
I was about to take a swig, and watched as his eyes got all wide and he almost cracked a smile as i raised it to my lips, and that kind of made me paranoid, so i stopped and never drank any.
I looked him dead in the eye, looked at the soda, and then looked at him again, and he had stopped smiling and had an angry look on his face.
So i looked at him and smiled, and then chucked the soda.
He stopped his sidebet after the very next game and I went on to bust Durbin.
People will do anything to win.
I'd almost rather be robbed at the Waffle House, then lose cause someone beat me like THAT.
