I only missed 2 balls this week

[measureman]

And still only won 3 of 5. And I shot every open ball.
strangest game.
My opponent breaks dry I run all my balls but then have to thread the cue ball thru his balls to get a shot at the 8-I hook myself and make a good hit on the 8.
My opponent misses 3 times in a row and each time leaves me with not shot on the8!
So 4 times in a row I am hooked with nothing but a kick at the 8.
I drove very carefully home.

Gotta love this game. Good fortune is a fickle dame.

Good thinking on the drive home careful-ousnes

That reminds me of one of my best pool matches that I lost in 8 ball 5-4 in 6 innings. I missed 1.5 balls. I say .5 because I shot a 2 way shot on a combo knowing I would leave him a not so easy curve shot if I missed. Well he curved and made it, then banked his last ball and ran out. He then broke and ran the last two sigh FML lol. I broke and ran 2 in that match so it was just a very clean, tough match in very low innings.

i missed 1 shot...played 2 safes and lost 3-0 to a s/l 4 in 3 innings 1 time.

Sound like you may need to reconsider your pattern play.

Potting balls is only half the game.

This is why the win percentage for the person attempting the initial run in 8 ball is well the person who is watching. lol
