Everybody likes to post about their high run, so here is the story of my low run. After several innings I was down like 20 to -20. I had a few fouls and wound up fouling three in a row. It was in league play in a game to 50. I kept my composure, shrugged it off and decided I was going to win anyway. I felt the weakness in my oponent when he saw that I was coming back and I just kept putting balls in the hole till it was over. I won!

I have only ever been 3 fouled once since I started this game 6 or 7 years ago. I would rather sell out a high run to my opponent that go in reverse direction.

Glad to hear you were able to come back and win the game. One of the true beauties of the game of straight pool.

I remember 3 fouling once accidentally and then coming back and getting a 33 and a 37 and beating the guy. Best guy in our league, actually.

I only intentionally 3 fouled once. I was able to make up my foul amount and get a bit closer to the finish line, but I still got beat.

Another fellow was at 48 and I was at 30 something in a race to 50 and rather than sell out, I started doing a few intentionals and rearranged the balls a little to where I could get out of it and I beat him.

Playing around with intentional fouls is fun. Not letting 3 fouls ruin your day is cool. Congrats.:thumbup:
 
Made often 3 fouls when i was down, behind or whatever--- that s just one rack instead of giving the opponent a chance for an open rack--furthermore with the chance to play a good safety again on a frozen rack.

But never made 3 fouls accidently :)
