I'm playing a very strong player in my area at his house getting the last two race to 9 for $25. About our normal spot and wager. I win 9-6, lose 9-3 and win 9-7. He played bad and I kept my composure. After I win one set for the night get told," at least I know you can't beat me even". Always something in pool. I vote for players to play and have fun and not belittle players to make their ego feel better. I hope my son Benjamin plays this game strong and is happy when his opponent shoots well
