Just Pooled the F@#$ Out, Anybody Else Been This Way?

Taking a break isnt a bad idea, just do not take too long of a break...maybe a couple of days. Then, I usually go back to the poolroom and maybe play the ghost some races and just try and work out my frustrations that way. It usually helps.
 
In the last 30 years I've "retired" about six to eight times, for periods of up to a year or two. Usually something causes me to un-retire, like a guy who starts woofing at me like I can't play or a tournament comes along that I feel like getting into (DCC).

What has always amazed me is that I can get back to about 90% speed in a week or so. Of course when you play as bad as me, that isn't hard to do. ;)

Matching up, driving to tourneys only to find out bad news, No local action unless giving up the nuts, etc. , etc. I just am pooled out. Anyone else experience this?

Yep, about every six months.

You're in a great area, but you've had too good of a name for too long around that side. I remember you enjoying a trip to Florida a couple of years ago ( maybe 4 now?) and someone asking if he recognized you from Atlanta....
I used to drive 300 miles just to get into new games, go to a tournament outside of my range.
What's a few hours in a car listening to music while you're checking things out along the way?
I retire all the time it seems like these days.
When my daughter was born this spring, i hardly touched a cue the rest of the year.
Lately I've been trying to get on the felt more.
I'm not getting rich from it, but I'm consistently coming out ahead, even if it's the weekly tourneys that I have to hit.
Can't afford to play the way I used to, so just taking it easy until things get right again.
Of course then I'll proabbly be coming to Raleigh looking for you somewhere.....lol
There's always Fayetteville and Charlotte....
Unless you've been knocking them down ,too....

Get off the tower..... Get ready for DCC....and all the rest of the East coast gatherings.
Soem3thing will come.

It always does

Many people have a dream someday Pool will be BIG like NASCAR, with 250K Purses up for grabs for the Pros, and I think this will trickle down to the "C" Players also.


Ring Games...:thumbup:
