The quotes that follow are from great people. The only thing I did was change the subject of Math to Pool. I give full respect to the authors.

Quotes

1. In Springfield Missouri the local 7 in APA (I forget the name). "Take what the table gives you." His point was it is better to make a hanger than to get beat with it sitting there.

2. On a terrible miscue, JR Calvert noted, "It's not the arrow, but the Indian". His point was that everyone blames the equipment, but is the players responsibility to chalk and make the hit.

3. In Terre Haute, a local old time hustler noted, "Make all the ones you have to make." His point was you can't make all of balls and all shots all the time, but there are shots you cannot miss and expect to win.

4. In Terre Haute, one of the better players and my cousin, said when he came back into the pool hall after an outta town tourneyment, " I was one out of the money." It was later found out that he went 2 and out and was about a mile out of the money. It has been a standard phase locally if you didnt place, you were "One out of the money".

These are the ones that come to mind.

LOL
