Last 9-ball game of the night, all dollars in, and Tony "Mosconi" Hakala pulls this cheese on me:

START(
%BX3T2%FX9D4%IX5F0%PX2X3%WE3D0%XW7F3%]X7G7%^X5S4
)END

The 9 never touched a cushion. The 2 landed in the lower-right corner as well.

He called it, too. I have never stopped laughing so abruptly in my life! :mad:

Duh, sorry! :p I am a little rummy today. My dog had 7 seizures yesterday/last night/this morning, so I am running her to the vet and calming her down, in between bouts at the computer. :(

I think you need to copy and paste his diagram, rackm...

Also.. Me thinks Daddy has been soft playing sonny-boy, and that the match should not have been so close as having one game for all the marbles. I'd run out on my own grandmother if I had a chance. I have absolutely no qualms beating my 8 year old son to death on the table when we finally end up getting a table at home.

Heck, when I met my wife, I whacked her out like 20 games in a row when I took her to my pool hall when we were dating. The only concession I would make was giving her a handicap. Even with the handicap, I tried my hardest to beat her brains in.

If you don't always play your hardest, how is your son going to really treasure the times he beats you?

I don't know Russ, dumping a little in 9-ball to your kid aint so bad. It keeps them coming back. It's easy to do just fire the old 9-ball into the rail and the little nipper gets to beat up on dad sometimes There will come a time when dumping won't be necessary, my days are over as the grasshopper beats me 75% of the now. Oh and did I mention his self esteem...he thinks he's god--probably because I didn't beat his brains in day in and day out as a youngster.

Dave I wonder if your son knows how proud you are of him--I hope he does!

Anope...

I shall never willingly let my son win a game. I will arrange handicaps that make the game close enough for him to win that way, but that is as far as I will go. He'll know he is improving by whether or not he is winning with the spot, but he will still be aware that he is only winning because of the spot. And that the spot will be adjusted if he wins with it. I was extremely fortunate to have a good player beating my brains in for the entire first year I played. It drove me crazy, and I told that player that I would be good enough to beat them the next time I saw them after moving from the area.

The next time I saw him, I ran the last two racks to win a military championship on him. And to make it more special, this was a player that you kinda had to run racks on, or he would beat you. If he had ever taken it easy on me, I would not be the player I am today.

He was trying to get all of his marbles back!

And he did, the little Zen Cueist. :D

Oi! Every schooler and parent experienced with both genders tells me that daughters are much more trouble than sons! Boys sneak away from conflict, while girls jump right in your face.
 
i never got to teach guy stuff to my little angels.
 
Since you are a perfect Zen cue master pool player, after congratulating your son on the fine shot he made, did you explain to him that the shot he took was the wrong shot, and did you tell him how you are supposed to get out from there? Or was the WEI diagram incorrect?

My sympathies. :( I never got to learn guy stuff from my Dad, who was never around.

But you can teach guy stuff to other people's little angels with equal satisfaction and mutual benefit. I have one child (to the best of my knowledge). But I have three Zen Cueism apprentices at the moment, one of them a "daughter". I am blessed a thousandfold by the privilege of teaching each of them.

First of all, the sex of a baby is contributed by the father. Second of all, you can teach those little angels how to shoot pool too. And third, I'll take a daughter any day of the week. Boys are tougher to raise!

I used to complain that I had no sons,
Until I met a man who had no pen*s.

I think that's how it goes...
