The ghost ALWAYS whoops me!

Except for last night. I always play the ghost to 5 on a bar table. Usually he gets me by 2 or 3 games, sometimes 1. Last night I beat him 5 and out. Was shooting great! Felt awesome, lol.

Whats the highest you choose to play the ghost to? And how often do you win?

Key word here is bar table. I dont play on many 9ft's, and I'm sure the ghost would get me 9 out of 10 on a big table.

I try to use 5 balls as well against the ghost. Do you take BIH or do you play it from wherever whitey is?

I only play the ghost on 9ft. Gold Crowns, and the only way I can win consistently, is by making little moves that the ghost can't see.
Let's face it, he's a ****ing ghost and what he doesn't know won't hurt him.

That's funny. Thanks for the chuckle.

BTW, I play race to 9, BIH after break if I don't like the placement of the cue ball. If I run it out from the break without BIH, I take 2 games; slightly modified. I beat the ghost 50% of the time; usually win or loss by 2 or 3 games. Play on a 7' Diamond Smart Table.

I personally like playing The Ghost 5-ahead, doesn't matter the size of the table. As long as I'm not slumping, I'd estimate my win percentage between 25-50%.
