Prior to his arrival in NYC, TheOne PMed me to see if I'd practice with him, as he's preparing for the upcoming BCA and VNEA events in Vegas. I figured, what the hell.
So yesterday afternoon, it was SJM vs TheOne at Amsterdam Billiard Club.
It began with a game of straight pool, and TheOne ran both the first 26 and the last 26 for a well-deserved 100-29 victory. Next, we tried a little nine ball, and once again, it was TheOne, convincingly, by 9 - 4. Reeling from these two beatings, SJM finally caught a stroke, and in the next straight pool race, SJM ran a 37 to break open a tight game, with SJM ulimately winning by a score of 100 - 93. Then we tried one more nine ball race, but only had time for a race to seven. SJM got it done for a 7 - 5 victory.
Overall, it was a pretty good match, but far more important than that, I had a great time. TheOne is a great player and a great guy, and believe me, this guy will run the 100 he wants so badly real soon.
It's such a pleasure to hook up with other AZB posters for a little pool.
