How to keep it on the hook?

[straightline]

He's right. It's called stealing. Most self respecting players wouldn't touch it. Nothing wrong with giving a player like that a fair shot. A decent spot.

There was a pair of brothers used to come around - just loved pool, enjoyed mixing it up with me. Well funz is funz but one day I was practicing something and of course they show up and here's playtime all by himself... Anyway out of frustration I offer them some ridiculous spot - 4 and 7 or thereabouts (they needed way more) and they're all incredulous and insisted we play even. So fukkit, I zipped 'em 40 or 50 bucks cured that.
But wait, not over. Nuther friend who _can_ play hears about it and shows up a couple days later for revenge. He's a cop and knows the ways of "interaction" . We play for a buck on the 5 and a buck on the 9. This is already a joke to me. Well he proceeded to run me over for a hundred bucks.
Frankly I don't think I deserved that "lesson" but that's some of the forces at work in the world.

He will probably play again, even. Spots are for people you play every day. Not a traveller on vacation or work trip coming through your hall.

Your preliminary rating based on this single session would be 860, only 6 points behind Filler Robustness of 34. Robustness of 200 is the minimum to have an established rating.

That's one wow I agree with.

"Lesson" should read lessen lol. Went off on a tangent. Done.

Tom Kerrigan has a tournament performance website. You put in your opponents fargo. And the outcome. Then it calculates your fargo for the event.

In your case your fargo would be 854.7.

At 2 bucks a rack, if money don't spot if down early, that's 50 games straight. I'd quit after 20. Or get weight.
