Pool Maxims...

[CreeDo]

That sux, but at least you didn't leave your wallet and wife in the car

And because it was at the pool hall, my cue was with me.
So I ducked that bullet. Losing THAT woulda pissed me off

They did make off with 80 pounds of kitty litter.

Take your time with a smoooooth stroke.

 

[allanpsand]

Consider the consequences of failure - and the consequences of success.

 

[dareads]

One I've said for years is that there are no hard shots and no easy shots. All shots only have one point of contact to make it go in the desired pocket and the only thing that changes is the angle at which you have to contact that point.

I always thought this was a good thread, not necessarily because it was mine...okay, partly because it was mine, but there were some really good suggestions for improving your pool play.
So, are there any new ones floating about? :smile:

Not all trappers wear fur hats.

 

[wahcheck]

um...

".....If you're a $5 player, don't play for $10...."

 

[The Captain]

The best shot of the night is the last one the bartender brought you

 

[Tony_in_MD]

Never leave the table on a miss.

Old one from Danny Jones...around 1953

"Always bet on the guy with the out of state tag on his car"

 

[jay helfert]

Think long, think wrong!

 

[Diamond69]

Just because it was a great shot doesn't mean it was the right shot.

Sorry if my sig line counts as a 2nd maxim Tramp Steamer.

 

[pt109]

If a ball doesn't have a number on it, keep it on the table.

 

[Tramp Steamer]

I just heard this. Never, ever chalk your cue tip before a miscue. :smile:

 

[mike8or9]

Quit making excuses

No such thing as bad luck- just bad shots!!

 

[Nine ... corner]

Looking for extra praise when you make a tough, long shot. "Lotta green here."

 

[pwd72s]

Pool is a game we play for fun...so we can get mad at ourselves.

 

[str8shtr]

Got two

Not the arrow it's the Indian. Also the cueball don't lie

 

[tim913]

The most important thing to know about an unfamiliar pool hall is where the EXIT door is!

 

[demonrho]

Quit squawking and start chalking.
