Is it time to play one pocket??

For your first one pocket lesson, and this is just my opinion, based on my experience, with all due respect.

You don't get weight for cheap one pocket where you are essentially paying for lessons. If you can get a good player to teach you for $10 a game - and you can ask questions - then you're essentially paying for lessons. If a good player is going to give you weight like you are mentioning, it's no longer an "ask questions" match. It is a serious match, and the value of the match will reflect accordingly.

That's pretty much it.

I've had some of the younger guys play me $20 a game just to see how they measure up and I give a lot of respect to those guys doing it "old school." One I recently played told me it was his ambition to be able to play me even (not there yet, lol). I can tell you this: if I give up crazy stupid weight AND you're asking me questions... you better grab hold of your butt cheeks because you're basically asking me to tell you how to beat me getting crazy stupid weight and honestly... I'm going to recommend some crazy ca-ca : -)
