The Mental part of the GAME

Sure do know about having a bad night. Last night I lost 2-0 to a three in TAP league.
I broke and ran to the seventh ball. Picked up my head during execution to see my position on the 8-Ball and of course missed. He shot and left me about an 80 degree one foot cut to the corner for the win. Picked up my head again, pocketed the 8-Ball and scratched in the side.

Next game he broke, came up dry and I ran to the 8-Ball. Made a kick, a bank, some tough position shots and then made a length of the table bank across corners from inside the first diamond on the foot rail to win, except the 8-Ball drifted into the corner. Score 2-0 him.

My buddy got up from the table where he was sitting, came over and knelt on the floor and proceeded to pretend to bang his head on the pool table. We all had a laugh. Some days you get the bear, some days …

Relax, concentrate, sure, sure but boy I wanted to make that 8 and I was coming back hard and strong that second game, relax, concentrate Hmm Hmm
