I went to the Music city open as my first big tourney yesterday. I watched some great 9 ball. I watch Nick Hickerson (sp) run a 7 racks in one match and win his next match on the hill. Then come midnight madness he runs 8 for a 11-2 win. Now he comes up against Larry Nevel who is playing very strong and gets down 9-4 or 9-5 and comes back to win 11-9.
Now my rump has went from killing me to numb and back a dozen times sitting on the hard bleachers.
Then Archer and Nick take a break before getting started. Nick comes back and someone ask him whats up. Nick says him and Archer chopped up the 4k and are going to play it out because of the Calcutta.
Now once the money is not riding on it the game, in my mind it is a different animal altogether. I sat all this time to watch 2 great players not have enough faith in themselves to play for cheese. I got up and drove home without watching them put on the show.
I felt cheated
