Results Of My Match With "Dave"
well, it was a night of ups and downs. we played our usual race to 7 four times. the scores were as follows:
DCP: 7 - 3 - 2 - 7
Dave: 3 - 7 - 7 - 5
then after that, since Dave wasnt going to work tomorrow, we played a couple of more races to 7, and, well, i didnt fare very well. lost 7-3 and 7-0, i believe. i was getting kinda tired.
anyway, i missed about 3-4 shots that Helen Keller could have made blindfolded. just took them for granted, took my eye off the ball. one shot i had to reach to get to the cue ball, with the 9 hanging in the jaws, and i mis-cued slightly, and the cue ball followed the 9-Ball into the pocket. Dave asked me if i did that on purpose, thats how ridiculous it was.
I dont think Dave played that great, i have seen him play at times where you would think he could beat just about anybody. but after tying him in sets after the first four times i was somewhat satisfied. i think i broke and ran a couple of racks, but i did screw up a few decent opportunities.
all in all, i guess the verdict was not bad, not great. i dont expect to beat a player the caliber of Dave at this point in time, so if i can win a few racks and a set every now and then, i guess i should be somewhat satisfied.
