Title is a little misleading, but relevant nonetheless.
I sort of made up a game I like to call "Playing The Mouse", although i'm sure i'm not the only person who's thought of this personal game.

My uncle Played Ball for the Montana State Bobcats in the early 80's.
When i was just a youngin, he taught me to play a game against myself to help better my game. he called it Playing (Larry) Bird.
I had two chances to make my three point shot, if i missed twice, bird gets 3 points. And everytime i make it i get 3 points. Game goes to 12.

So I used the same logic in playing against myself in 8ball. For every shot i miss, Mouse gets a shot, I take the opposing ball and drop it down the pocket. Once you conquer the first stage you up the stakes. for every shot you miss The Mouse gets 2 balls.

Playing this game against myself actually really helped my game. The mental part of it.
 
I'm always looking for new games to play against myself. I like it. Will try tonight during my 2 hour a night practice time.

Fargo is starting to get boring to me. Mainly because I'm terrible at it. Averaging the mid 50's after about 50 games.
