Perhaps This Is My Problem

So how do you play Brian ?

relax and have fun

Heres my little piece of babble to your problem. one of the best tournaments i had was after working til 5 am , jumping on a 2 hour flight only to realize i left the keys to my travel cue case in my car, the front desk sent a janitor that brought a blow torch to the room and 45 minutes later.( i unded up busting the lock with a screwdriver. ) a long sprint from the room to the table area. i sat down and said to hell with it, i am just going to have FUN and scrap my way through a few matches and have fun, well we started playing at noon and at 2 am i finally was out of the tourney and finished 9th out of i think 256 guys. The point being, just go out and have fun, forget all the theories and systems and just play for the love of the game, you arent living or dying depending on a miss or bad roll, its not brain surgery, alot of time we take this game to serious and i think that prevents us from really letting go and playing to our best abilties.

also the books mentioned from previous posts are great, i also recomend The Monks book, POINT THE WAY,

That comment you made is a "head game", only you're too blind to see that.

Which world do you live in and in that world, if they have pool, do they wager on it? Because I'd like to visit!

Seriously, for all the years I've been playing the game, a little banter from time to time has always been considered fair-play under appropriate settings. Of course, there are situations where the utmost respect is expected and I assure you, you'll never hear a peep out of me BUT GIVE ME A BREAK! You're all worked up over a comment that really means nothing when you think about it and it only makes me wonder if either a. you do not understand sarcasm and/or b. you do not play for money.

Claiming good fortune as genius ruffles my feathers, that's all


I never claimed my good fortune was genius. That was my point! LOL, do you understand what I said? What is meant by the comment is that I didn't think of it and it turned out better than anticipated.

As I stated above, I don't comment on my shots or my opponents shots either way ...good or bad. If I get lucky, I shake my head and offer a friendly look of sympathy to my opponent. I shake my opponents hand before and after every game.

I realize that pool is a fickle game, and that sometimes rolls favour and sometimes they don't. As I said before, just because I can beat someone today, doesn't mean I could beat them everyday.

If I loose, I give full crdeit to my opponent because they capitalized on my mistake(s) and didn't make any of their own. I admire a great game and take great satisfaction out of winning and loosing, because even the baddest beat can teaches me a life lesson.


Okay Brian, I don't mean to offend you anymore. I'm serious. Where are you from because I seriously believe you've misinterpreted me. I cannot help but notice that your spelling and word-selection is undoubtedly European so I'm just curious.
 
BrianK74 said:
What doeswhere I am from have to do with anything?. Are European pool players wimpier than American pool players?. You're doing a bang up job at trying not to offend me.


Um, NO. I'm simply saying it appears YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING. I HAVE NO INTENT ON OFFENDING EUROPEANS OR ANY OTHER CONTINENTAL GROUP, FOR THAT MATTER. I AM SIMPLY SUGGESTING THAT PERHAPS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDS I AM USING OR WHAT IS IMPLIED.

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHICH PART OF THE WORLD YOU ARE FROM SINCE I AM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME UNDERSTANDING YOUR PERSPECTIVE?

You have a difficult time understanding my perspective because you believe sarcasm is acceptable banter. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and you seem amused by it....so be it.

I will agree to disagree with you and contribute nothing else to this thread. All the best



please don't tell me this is how you respond to woofing in a pool hall :confused:

DON'T TAKE THAT TONE OF VOI... Sorry. Don't take that tone of voice with me young feller-me-lad. You may not intend to offend me as a European but let me well tell you, you flipping well have (and that's swearing). And I'll tell you for why. Give me 15 minutes. I'm sure I'll think of something.

DrCue, it's been over since last night. I doubt it'll resurrect. Sorry for the profanity everyone. I was a bit peeved.

I'm sorry, you misunderstood. I was asking how do you rate your game, are you a C player, a B player, or what ? The reason I ask is that you made a disparaging comment about 'A players', and I wondered if you considered yourself an A player or if you are not that good.

Thanks a lot, the one time I think maybe I can get a little wager in with DM, and you go spouting off in very large fonts ... a guy can't win around here ...

Dave, who will keep looking for a sure-fire way to double the $5 that's burning a hole in his pocket ....

Holy Crap! Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit? Whodda thunk it! I's sure glad that Brian the humor police is here to set me straight. I'm amazed at the things I learn in a pool forum.
