Back in the '80s when I was playing everyday I was a very good shot maker. One time I was playing a guy named Bucky and was really in dead stroke and pocketing balls from all over the table. Bucky says"This guy aint safe under the table"
I take very few compliments seriously. The ones that warm my heart have come from players whose ability and experience I really respect. Both Corey Harper and Frank Almanza have said some very nice things about my game (and ongoing improvement) and these guys are not easily impressed. I have learned more from playing these two than almost anybody else. Their ability, experience and intelligence on the table is nothing short of amazing.

"You're in dead rack"
I never got many compliments on my game, more often hearing how lucky I was.
One thing that several people have said to me that I did like was that I have great concentration. I do get focused when I'm down on the ball.
I don't know why you don't get compliments.
The few times I've seen you in action I thought when you were focused and trying, you played very well. You're a straight shooter and smart player. I especially thought you played well over at Poolhustler's house. I liked your fundamentals and ability to hit shots under pressure.
No man, you play a respectable game - and you grind good - which is something only experienced players can do.

People tell me, I have a gift. And that I'm wasting a gift because I don't take thing serious enough.
They don't know I put many hours on the practice table 20 years ago. Now I'm just out for fun.
