9-Ball, 8-ball, 1Pocket, Straight, Bank, Golf... add in your own.
Overall, I stink. I've been playing for about 2 years, I guess I play okay for the time period. I have an odd stance and I shoot a little slow
9Ball: I'd say I'm a favorite to run 5 or so balls. I'm at the point where breaking and running isn't a big deal anymore - I'd be surprised to not break and run at least 2 racks in a days worth of play. Hi run of 3 consecutive racks ran.
8-ball: My biggest recent improvement. I'm playing pretty good 8ball now. If it's open, I feel like I'm out. hi run of 2 racks - I need to work on my break.
1pocket: My favorite game, but I STINK. I'd think I would beat most players around my speed in any other game, because I know more in comparison to my ability. But I'm still awed at the things I don't see that even the local short-stops do in this game. I've ran 8 and out a handful of times - but running the balls isn't the biggest part of the game, I don't move that good.
Straight: I don't gamble, or play, enough to really have a lock on my speed, but I do have a hi run of 32 which beat my first high run of 24. I'm probably favored to run 10 or so, however.
Bank: I'm getting better at this game, it's one of my favorites. I play 9ball banks (clean) like at the DCC. I have a few runs of 5, and can't count how many times I've ran 3. I like this game - but I know a couple of guys down here that would spot me MASSIVE weight and still beat my head in.
Golf: I play bad enough to get a spot from anyone who plays the game more than once a month. I don't play it often at all, but I will start (we have a table at my home room).
I'm bored and I figured this might be a conversation starter... your turn.
