Me vs my Wife, 9 ball League

exactly my thought!

A case of blue flu would probably be wisest. Second choice, play all aggression and let the chips fall where they may. Beat her with a tricky tight game and you might find yourself cold and lonely for a long time!

I have to say that if my ol' man and myself were in a similar situation, and I caught him throwing a set to me so that I could win....I would be pretty freakin' pissed off! :mad:

I have worked very hard to get my game to the level it is now, and expect to be treated as an equal, even by friends and family, once I step to the table. I would consider anything less as patronizing, and that is was would get my ire up.

If I am not the better player in any given game, then I deserve to lose that game...pretty simple concept to me. Once you get to the table, any relationship you may have with your opponent should have absolutely no bearing on how the game is played.

I would be more worried about how the wife will react when she finds out, (and she will), that the only reason she won was because you dumped to her!! If you beat her outright, she may be a little upset, (although she shouldn't be), but the bottom line is, that's pool...someone has to lose.

My guess is, if she is anything like me, she would be more upset with herself for losing than she would be at you for winning...and this will push her to work harder at getting you the next time.

Lastly, please remember that it is just a game, and it should not be something that is carried back into a relationship.

Best of luck to both of you!

I've competed against my wife in league and in tournament play. You owe it to her to play your best so if she does beat you it is legit and she can feel good about herself. Women do not want to be patronized. If you "let her win" it cheapens her win and she won't feel good about it.

Tap Tap Tap! Notice all the posts telling you to let her win are coming from men... since when do they know what a woman wants?;) Letting her win is insulting, and insinuates that you have no faith in her abilities. Just have fun with it, both of you play your hardest, and no matter what happens... leave it all out on the table when it's over.

Oh, and as for whether you will be... ahem... "getting some" after it's over... most women who play pool find guys playing well to be very sexy. You lay it down, and you look like a puss. Not sexy at all!!!
 
If it doesn't change any of the other standings why do you need to play. Take a tie for first and let it go. If there is trophy involved, flip a coin for it. Take the dinner out of the winnings. Believe me, you are in a no win situtaion. This advise goes for her too.
 
Wow I think his wife just called me and said she was scared to death to beat him in the finals...... She said he might fall apart or quit pool for life.
OMG she says what should she do??
She said she might dump.


LOL

Today my opponet is my wife, in a 9 ball league. We are both are tied for first. I know somehow this is gonna bite me in my arse. Do I lay down, or do I play the best to my ability. My gut says to play good, but if I do and beat her I think I will hear about it for a while. Any advice from the wise ones? .............Thanks Charlie D

This is from a wife who has to play her husband in every tourney.. Its not worth playing if you are not going to play your best. It is funny that you say you might hear about it for a while... We don't speak after we say good luck until the match is over, and it has taken 3 years for us to kiss and make up after one wins. But if you don't play your best you will never hear the end of it! PS I took my husband out of the last tourney :D

What better time to start turnin the screws? I say put your best game up and make sure you punish her every mistake :) Any decent relationship can survive that...

Oh yeah, let her get to the table a few times... only on locked up safes though :)
