I went bust today....twice

Okay not really bust, but I was down to my last barrel twice. I lost 2 sets then we doubled the bet and I lost 5 more straight sets to put me on my last barrel. Then I won 2. Then I lost 1. Then I won another 1 and we doubled again so now I'm firing my last barrel yet again. I won the last 2 to get me back to even.

Sorry to ramble...It was a long night and I'm a little proud of myself for sticking with it and fighting my way back from being broke. I ended the night down $20 after booze and time. I even turned down easier action on the bar table to finish this battle.

so you actually tried to win in the face of easy money... I'm impressed .... might be hope for you yet..


Imagine a pool world where every game is like that...

the other guy is just as good as you..

and the money doesn't matter anymore...

you can see the light just crest the next hill...

and you reach the land where the object is to help each other and all get better by everyone sharing knowledge..

and the best player really is the best player.. and not a B+ player that the A's set up as a straw man... so they could pick off the weak and old...

imagine the day when pool becomes an actual sport...

Sounds like you had a challenging but worthwhile night on the table.
