Some of you might have heard by others, not me that me and Mikey played a little Saturday night. We both had a couple of cocktails and we had a fun little ring game going on the big table. I said I would play a couple more racks and then I was going to quit, we played for at least 3 or 4 hours. Mikey and me decided to play a set for bar tabs, I told him I would play him on the bar box and like the good man he is, he agreed. I beat him the first set then gave him 1 measly game on the wire and he crushed me, so we went back to even and I beat him 2 sets and it was late and definitely time to go. I feel bad because I am and have been a good bar box player for some time. The only problem is I have a hard time giving or getting weight, some mental thing I guess, but thats the way it is. Got a PM from Mikey, I don't think he's mad, anyway I hope not. I can't beat him on a big table because I'm one of those players who use the big table for practice when I'm physically able to, to play good on the box. He is a big table player who doesn't like the box. I think we are kinda stuck but we should be able to try something again in a while. You have to know I am getting arthritis pretty bad and completed 6 months of chemo for stage 4 bladder cancer around 5 months ago. But I enjoyed playing half way decent again and I'm sure we will play again. Mikey is good to his word gambling and we didn't have any problems with bad calls on fouls or anything like that on either side. Lets get this post back up and running, can't wait til the widow gets to town....
Later,
