Great thread, it will be a big one for sure.
Action is my first love-betting on myself. Rail bets are cool sometimes, putting a player in action, I dont like to lay a price in pool but I have a few times.
Playing for fun=$0.00 is almost impossible for me, unless its with a very good friend and not too often. I'm awalys proud to brag that Leeanne JA's Daughter is my God daughter-yet in all these years I have played JA only 2 times and not betting with him is a very smart idea. Its amazing when you play him just how weak I am after all these years, one time we played and he was playing fair and I wasnt playing good(I was sick), the second time he didnt miss a ball in a hour(It was impossible for anyone to beat him that day, he played perfect-litterly perfect. I won one game on his dry break 1-9 combo in an hours play score had to be 25 or more to 1.
Being a rail bird was more fun when I was younger-seems backwards???
Cue collecting has awalys been a back seat thing for me, pool is first. However I have awalys had a collection starting from 1 and growing it to 5or 6 for many years, only the past few years have I assembled a larger collection.
AZB and the social aspect of pool wasnt there for the first 20 years I played, now it is and I like it. I remember going to pooll tournments and recogizing faces but they weere nameless faces, now I seem to know everybody and going to tournments is like a reunion and I really like that. I like everyone in pool and do my best to be liked, just for the social aspect. I know more people in pool than anywhere, its fun to see some people once a year others often, and phone calls to some people. I call Billy Cardone every 3 months just to bug him


. The people that hate me I do my best to at least let them know me and hope they change their mind. I dont have a family so when someone hates me i'm very sensitive to that, now you know
