Well, I found out a lil something today. My sunday night 9-ball opp was "coached" rather well by a solid S/L 7 I beat-up pretty bad . Last time I played him was just before Christmas and it wasn't pretty(for him). He took the loss cordially , and with a good attitude. He was a team-mate on another team from 2 years ago. We know each other pretty well. So my friend is a team-mate on my opps team now.
His way of getting a little "spirited pay-back" lol. (
Can you say "Bush-whacked by proxy?" :lmao: )
Its all good !! This is just what I needed :grin-square::grin-devilish:
Turns out they had a "Plan" We are the stronger team, (on paper). the other teams' captain took advantage of my own capt's inexperience, and a few facts. (our heavy was at a tournament out of state this weekend), I surmise opps cap't knew this prior to this weeks team match. SHREWD !
And here I am like a dummy so-overconfident and anxious that I go seek some fun on a BB the night before.
Enuff of my match:
I can relate to all who posted. I'll try to answer all in this post. :smile:
Yeah, competing in a tourney with a strong field does get the blood pumping. I personally don't care where I place; I just try my best!
I love the get 'em next time attitude. I'm the same way.
High, (and low for that matter), emotions such as glory, (and grief) are fleeting; they don't last forever!
Pool is pretty much a roller-coaster ride. Ups and downs,..... perspective,....... hindsight. Its all good. We all just love to play, and that is what keeps us coming back for more.
Sharing thoughts and experiences is what I think forums are all about. It is how we collectively grow/excel.
AS FOR ME; I beat myself up for everything I do wrong, its just how I deal with things.
Thank you for all who have posted and read this thread!
AND BEST TO ALL
