Perhaps This Is My Problem

i always complain about bad rolls, tough spreads, etc, etc. i have noticed a trend regarding this dilemma, i think. seems like what usually happens is that on nights where i just am going to rack and break, if the balls start out rolling bad, with tough spreads, i usually start to get ticked off, get mad, give up, and at times say out loud "Well Here We Go Again! Another Night Of This Crap", and it usually just steamrolls after this. then, when i do have a decent chance to run out, and i mess up, the problem just intensifies. and if i mess up another chance to run out, perhaps at that point in time i should either just quit playing racks and start to practice, or leave and come back an hour later, or just not play anymore that night. last night was an example of this. i ran a few racks, but for the most part the balls just didnt roll good the whole night long, i just always seemed to have tough chances after the break. plus i just felt out of sync because of the poor beginning and as a result messed up several chances to run out. it frustrates me when the balls just dont roll good after the break, but it is even worse when i see chances to run out and just cant get the job done. i sometimes say to myself "Earl Would Have Got Out There, No Doubt About It" but i intend to keep trying. as Winston Churchill said during the height of World War II, "Never Give Up. Never Never Ever Give Up." rest assured, I'm not giving up either. DCP
