I don't know what a nit is...but I do know what happened to gambling.

Words of wisdom I've never heard stated that way. A B player playing against pro speed will rarely, if ever, get enough weight.
Race to 9, 5 on the wire, 4 and out and the breaks - that might be fair.
Im a B speed player. I played Max Eberle getting 4 on the wire going to 8, and the last 3. After playing abour 7-8 hours, I was only stuck 1 set. So it is possible to hang with/beat a pro.
I watched Ginky give a C player the 1 through 9, yes, every ball, but Ginky got all the breaks. Ginky won...easily. If he broke dry, the C player never saw daylight, if he made a ball, Ginky ran out.
Against a strong C or a B, who knows? If someone can kick pretty well and also get lucky with the leaves, maybe.

Last night I made a mistake. But I learned a lesson from it. I played a very well known champion a $150 set with not enough weight for a fair chance but it did put me in my place and might get me a little more action while I am here. Anyway I have a match today with a strong local girl and the steak horse that backed joey gray against me last night will be steaking this lady tonight. From the gossip this match is going to be super tough both ways so I am going to have to give it my best go.

No, I'm an older player and the word nit must of come out when I stop traveling and hustling pool and other things.:wink:

Either Max was having a bad day or you were getting out with the spot he gave you.
Like I said, playing guys that speed requires that you can get out 90+% of the time with the spot you get. Combine that with enough games on the wire and it can make a difference, otherwise you are screwed.

Max was playing well. He had just got thru crushing the 9 ball, then the 10 ball ghost. That's when I said fvck it, I have a better chance playing him myself. The key for me was to win the first game. Its a great feeling moving your coin over the side pocket and starting a set 5-0. Obviously from that point he had to beat me 8-3. On the sets that he won the first 1 or 2 games, it made it extremely hard on me to keep it close or win. Id play again the same way, I don't think either one of us is stealing.
Also forgot to add, When I initially asked Max how he would match up with a B player for $100 a set, he said "no B player has ever asked me to gamble" ; )
I bet that set you were getting out 90%...and or hitting your safes 90%...
that's the key with matching up against top players. You have to get a spot that you're going to get out 90+% or you have no chance, sometimes even if you do, you still have no chance.

Im not sure about 90% of the time but I was playing in my top gear. Obviously going back and forth all night, you have to be against a player of Max' caliber. Merry Christmas brother.
