I am with dub maniac. Hope your health improves soon.
I have not posted in a while....mainly because there has not been much to post about....except.loss after loss lol..
This session i am in the worst slump i have ever been in. 27 percent win in 8 ball and 18 percent in 9 ball. I know what the problem is but dont know how to correct it. Its all mental . there have been a bunch of changes on 2 teams i was captain of and it seems i have lost that competitive fire i used to have as a result of those changes.
Those changes were necessary though after both teams had to forfeit the last couple of tri cups due to not having enough players show up..
I am.in kind of a unique situation now. I relinquished part of my captain duties on my friday team. I am captain of 9 ball and another player is captain of 8 ball. We only had 4 players at the start of the session but its looking better now with the addition of a decent 5. It takes a lil stress off me that i was alwys putting on myself due to not having enough players.
If yall been paying attention to my ramblings on here you will recall i started playing on a new team last session that starts at 6:00 pm.. I was asked to join with the captain knowing i play on another team at another venue which starts at 7:00 pm. The whole team made it obvious theh really wanted me to join and we worked it out where i play the first match and leave to go to the other venue 10 minutes away to play for my other team. I love playing on this team as the team chemistry is great and every one has a never give uo attitude . we went from down 5-0 after 2 matches to not only win but go undefeated in our tri cup.bracket to qualify for ltc's. The captain always throws me against the other teams best player and i love that.
Now on to my sunday 7:00 pm team that i relinquished being captain of but am still listed as captain of 9 ball in name only. Its an entirely new team with no chemistry at all but thankfully a full team with no drama and 2 pretty good players on it ...besides me :wink:.
Now on to how i played last night. Faced another 6 in 9 ball on my first team. He won the lag and promptly sunk the 9 amd 2 other balls. Broke the second rwck and ran 4 before missing..he dry broke the 3 rd rack and no way for me to get on the 1 ball.. After thst start i was happy to only lose by 4 points..
Went to my second team and played 8 ball vs a 6 and i am a 5 . i won 4-0 and i think he did not have his head in the game because he only had 3 players last night. I very well know thst feeling .
