Memorable Good:
1) As an APA 5, just starting...never saw a pro or anything. My captain asked me to go to a Mike Massey exhibition. LOTS of people were there, maybe 150-200 packed into a medium sized room. I break and make the 8 in the left side. A few cheers. I paid 10 bucks lol! I said I was hoping for a real game. So they let me go again. BAM 8 ball in the exact same side pocket. The place went crazy. So I went once more. Made a ball, ran to a miss, Mike ran out lol. Signed my cue ball "Nice break...twice! Jesus loves us. Mike Massey". At the time, this was pretty epic.
2) In APA masters, My teammate won the first match, so I had to play the best guy in the APA. Not mentioning any names, but I bet everyone can guess who I mean. Now everyone knows this guy is "the man" in that room. So lots of people came to watch. Playing the 8 ball part, he missed a ball at 2-2. I actually ran out the set on him. I played very fast, and made a jump 1-9 combo for the win. I was so pumped, it was probably the highest point in my pool career to that point. We ended up getting 5th that year.
3) In APA 8 ball singles this year, I finished 5th. That is way higher than I thought. To get the 5th spot, I had to beat a 3 time former champ. It was an epic hill-hill grind fest. I made a pretty awesome out at the end for the win. That was $1000 swing on that match. Most I ever won in a tourney.
Memorable Bad:
1) APA 9 ball singles. Playing another decent 9. Can't do anything right. I'm down 73-37 in a race to 75. I say, "well, I guess I just need to run a 4 pack for the win.". So I fly thru 3 racks like a machine. In the 4th rack, I make a ball and have a pretty easy out. I need like 4 balls. I'm shooting a *hanger* on the 4 ball. Right into the rail!!! He makes his 2 for the win. Missed the most epic comeback ever. Oh well. 33rd...grrr..
2) Lots of other total mental screwups at bad moments lol.
