A man can’t be expected to be at his best without his corn dogs!
Took four years, but I was made a SL6 in 9 ball today.
Congrats...it took me 8 years.
New week ...same old results. Won 8 ball and lost 9 ball.
Played a 6 in 8 ball and won 4-1 in a 4-5 race. Thats 8 wins in a row after losing the first match of the session.
Mow about 9 ball....sigh. Recors so far this session is 2 -7 after last nights loss. Fellas i was breaking and hitting them good ....so good that when i looled at the scoresheet after the match i saw that i was up 34-16 in a 46-38 race. I lost 42 -38.
How did i manage to wind up losing after beimg that far ahead ? Well it started after i dry broke and he ran the table to make it me...34 and him 26. No he does not shoot good enoigh to run the table but 4 slop shots along the way definitely helped him. As i am racking for the first time this match i am muttering ...damn...double damm...shit.
Next rack je makes the 2 on the break...misses the 1. I play safe since i had nowhere to put it. He makes a masse ? ..spelling ...at warp speed...it barely grazes the one ...i honlestly dont think he hit it. .more like the turbulence of the cue ball zoomimg past at warp speed nudged it an inch over ...anyway the cue ball travels on hitting the side of the 7 knocking it against the rail and sending it cross corner into the pocket. The cue ball settles down after comimg back up off the bottom rail and leaves him straight in on the one. Makes the one with no problem. Tries a kick at the 3 which hits the 6 knocking it againt the rail and sendimg the 6 cross corner into the pocket. Good on the 3. Good on the 4. . tries a full table bank on the 5 which misses and rolls back up table into the corner pocket there. Left with the same type bank on the 8 and smacks it at warp speed. It hits the tip of the side pocket and shoots across the table into the opposite side pocket. ...good on the 9.
Fellas i was so out of it sfter that i couldnt make a ball when i did get a chance to go to the table.
Gotta work on my mental game but man its hard when you got 5's starting to resort to slop when they get down.

So, don't leave us in suspense; what have you done in those years after leaving, and why did you leave?Fantastic. Oh, btw i quit the league drama 10+yrs ago.
I would venture to say the pre-shot routine is helping if you're not having to think about it. The idea, for me anyways, is to create a routine that instills both physical consistency as well as mental. If you can run through the pre-shot without having to think about it and it puts you in the right sub-conscious state of mind then it's working
Don't bother, he does this post every 5 pages
Well done, lots of people play in APA for years and never make it there.
Got tired of the chicken-shit arguments. I've seen more arguments/fights over some nitty league rule nonsense than in gambling matches for BIG money.
A pretty good week.
Apa 8ball, me a 6, rackless night over a 5
Apa 9ball me a 7 win over a 6, and a 7 last week.
Bca me at 487, a 46 point night, a break and run, a second win over a 650 .

Nice shooting. I dont miss the several nights a week grind like i thought i would. Probably due to getting burnt out at my old age.
Years ago i did bca 2 nights and money league 2 nights.
Then quit pool for four years. Came back and did apa ...money league and napa for a while.
Then it was apa twice. ...usapl and tap every week. Just got to be too much.
So last night ... Won 8 ball. Real tough match winning 4-3 in a 4-4 race. The reason it was tough was because i was off last night. Position play...missed makeable shots....wrong pattern mostly due to uncertainty on my position play. On the way home i realized i had swapped to my carbon pro last night...should have stuck with the black dot i been using all session. 9 wins in a row now...i think. Have to look it up later.
Didnt play 9 ball last nihht due to how the other team was matching up. I should have played the last match. They threw a 4 so i threw my newly raised to a 4. My 4 lost 31-25 in 45 friggin innnings. It was pure mental torture keeping score that match. Didnt get through intil 11.30 and we are usually through ny 10.30.
Talk about torture, my team aquired a real life 1, for 9ball
Brutal about 30 mins to get through 2 racks, she'd get bih, miscue and hand it back, probably made 3 total shots on the match, not just bad bad, bit SLOW SLOW as well

Why would anyone do that to themself?!
Cause they are captain ?
I meant the player herself. That just can’t be any fun!
In the recent state tourney, I counted 7 or 8 fouls my opponents made and failed to call on themselves.
Like double-hitting the cue ball, etc. There was no reason to call a ref beforehand as there was no reason to foul on those shots. I didn't bother calling 'em afterwards cuz it's my word against the shooters. I didn't even mention the fouls afterwards.
One guy was breaking 9-ball by hitting, I think, the second ball in the rack. It was hard to tell if he skimmed the 1-ball or not. I was going to get a ref before he broke, but didn't. I guess i was a little disillusioned by then. My bad.
This year was the worst I've seen for this type of cheating. Not sure if it is a trend. In April when we had the other state tourney, everyone was happy and nice and laughing and having fun. But this recent one? just the opposite.
I won money, anyway, so that 's good.

EDIT: I forgot to add that I called 3 fouls on myself.

Captain is like let's make her feel welcome and help her so she's having fun playing 9ball, she'll be the greatest asset on the team.
Not when she can't even strike the cue ball with bih cap!
Is she at least hot?
