we both lost and learned, i been in spots EXACTLY like that, i liked the atsmoshpe that was fun, I might have won 3-4 games in a race to 10 in there with those rules., the spot you gave him you had to win 10-4 thats what 2.5 to 1 in games? i never seen rules that complex except bonus ball(just kidding). Seriously It shows that no matter how your good at pool, you cant win carnival games. I thought your fire power mite be enough, after playing that game in my head over and over last nite, i realized fire power dont matter. Its the rules, and shows that equipment can be a secondary thing in action.
you play VERY strong A+ speed and then some, probably like Chris Bartrum and you didnt get weak for the $$, neither did I,
what we did was the switch player move on them(that was the smart move on our part), i could tell i couldnt win, after losing 3 of 4 games i normally would have won easily on regular equipment(we had to stop or put you in), i think i can rob that guy easy playing regular 8 ball on a 9' table. I'm a better pool player than he is(he might lose 25-0 playing you), i also knew fire power can overcome rules, seen guys with monster fire power win one pocket just by fire power alone no moves. That was our only shot, if we didnt meet up i was gone after i lost 4 in a row-evnt tho 2 were roll off scratches and missed one 8 ball. I could tell i couldnt win. i didnt think those rules would slow down someone your speed enough, you got us 9-9 goingto 10, re re-raced & jacked it up, raised the bet and came out strong 2nd set. then he made that 8 ball bank and it was all over from there.
we shuould have played he hill/hill game, that was our mistake, it was your break, re racing was what lost it, look at how the scoring went, we were the favorite hill/hill, the rerace we were the dog cause he played a little better and to get to 9-9 you made some trick shots. 3-10/4-10 is the right 50/50 odds for that game.
We made a decision, your young, you'll remember this for a long time as will I, having said that, when i can get us to a room with regular equipment, they HAVE to play us(keep that low), so that will come around here soon. we might get even. I dont think the guy beats me on the box we played on tonight, and you play MUCH better than me, so we switch players if we have to-again, they have no choice, they will come around Bella is the spot, they have their noses open, i can bring a flash wad when my friend gets back, so they will bet high, if i dont get there playing i'd b very suprised.-i'd be surprised, they have to play you and you win 100%. they must play our game.
based on what we know(what you heard-dont say what it was) about that crew we might play at Bella or a similar spot with lost of people everywhere., no way out in a spot like played at tonight, thats dangerous, trust me from experience on that one. last night if we win we were probably ok, now with our friends out of town and going in there a lone, could end up bad, when our friends get back they know they have a problem, but who needs that drama? their respect/fear of our friends mite keep them inline, but that could snap if we beat them. Any table that's normal with matching balls we rob them playing 8 ball, or last pocket with out the goofy rules, its stealing.
was fun tonight, last night too, one more chapter in my "pool playing days book" i'm going to write in 20 years. the ony thing i really learned is those gaff rules, and it validated another saying: them more rules, the lesser the player. I played a friend from NYC he was a C-- player at best, thought he played like you. I played him, every rack there was a new rule, i just let him make up rules as we went on, i out ran it easy.
What i learned last night there are rules that are so strong it takes the pool out of pool. i never seen rules that way, in Mexico i seen that game i told you about where they put 15 balls on the spots frozen to the rail, i couldnt figure it all out but still managed to win. those rules were the strongest rules i ever saw last night, i mite actually use them someday-so perhaps i will play last pocket 8B again LOL. So i'm going to remember them, what the real favorable ones are and go use them on someone else, believe e i got something for my $$. For you cause your young it was good experience, your very experienced anyways, but probably not in spots like that as much as me.
please dont mention names, of anyone my friends, the room, the guys we played or what we know now about the past. we'll save that for the book in 20 years.
was good fun tonight, now i hurt all over from that thing i told u about:angry:
