th only people i play with are c players at best, it gets really old to win all the time, so i just work on harder shot/ leaves when playing lesser competition. playing down to there level is not good for your game if you get in the habit of it. also teaching them what i know keeps things fresh so they can improve and i feel like im helping them out with there progress. justa a lil rant, ahaha.

You will burn out, eventually. Atleast that's my experience. I played every day for like 15 months for atleast an hour. And eventually I couldn't bring my self to take my cue from the case and didn't enjoy the game, whether it was practice, competative or just a few beers and pool with the guys.
My practice time was basically working on what I felt I did poorly in the last competative match I played until I I was happy. Could be as simple pocketing balls using SIT, in which case after an hours dedicated practice to that I'd have it nailed. Or it could be a whole bunch of things in which case dedicated practice could last 3 or 4 hours.
Now I'm not saying I didn't try take on the ghost. I had my butt kicked too many times by Mr Ghost, but I enjoyed playing the ghost the most. It helps your runout game immensely and your decision making and when a rack is runout-able, and in game situations its priceless knowing when to try runout and when to play safe.
If you do start getting board just watch a video on yotube of new drills, plenty of great drills for all aspects of the game on there. Also, to see where your decision making and game stacks up compared to the pros just load a youtube video, pause after the break, recreate the layout on your table and play the table then watch the video and see how the pros do it.
But I wish you luck and hopefully you won't get tired of the game.
