just wondering, this is tournament time around here, and i just realized i've been playing around 35-40 hrs a week. that's more time than i spend at my job...anyone else hitting a lot?

yea usually i play at least 4-5 days per week. Each session varies but usually lasting 5+ hours. On a slow week here at my college, i might play every weekday after 5.. till the place closes at 12:30, then play from 7pm-2am on fridays (most every week). Then play either saturday or sunday for maybe 2-3 hours.

honestly can you explain how you get 35-40 hrs in at pool? What is your playing schedule? give me an example of a 35-40hr pool week schedule id be interested.
 
last week. monday, 5 hrs at a friend's. wednesday 6-2am, thursday 8ish-3am, friday 6-2am, sat 1-10? i think, sun 2ish-8. hmm, that's 43, but some of it was tournaments (and 1 league) so i had a little downtime.

i'm pretty tired :)

Hey Stev by your avatar you must be a healthy guy, eatin all your broccoli and such!
 
i'm starting to wonder if my new avatar is a bad idea...it sure draws a lot of attention. it's a political statement, really, i would never do anything illegal :D

that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

I've been trying to get around 25 hours per week lately, mostly successfully.
 
Ever since I got back home, a month and a half ago, I decided I was going to focus more on improving my game. I know that in the past two weeks alone, I've gotten out and shot pool every day but one, at least for an hour or two - though some of those days were playing in tournaments, so naturally I'm not shooting the whole time.

That, along with a hour's worth of coaching recently from a local fellow who's a damn good shot, seems to be helping - I'm running more balls, running out entirely more often, I've got better cue control, my stance and stroke are better. I know I've still got a long way to go, but I'm happy to be seeing progress. :)
 
Last wednesday was the last day of our regular league season. I took 3 days off. LOL I was back at it last night playing in a local tournament. I won so I guess the 3 days off didn't hurt, ;) I'll try not to slack off like that again, I hope you all can forgive me.
 
I would have too, but got tired of hanging around. Always the next tournament.
