Here is a chance to brag or not brag about your playing abilities. Everyone post their high runs in 14:1, Racks of 8 and 9 ball and whether or not you have ever broke and ran out in One Pocket (:p ).

Here's mine:

-58 balls in 14:1
-Broke into my 4th rack in nine ball
-Broke into my 4th rack in 8 ball, opponent shot and missed, then I ran next 2 racks (APA match where I won 5 straight games in 1 inning).
-Never broke and ran in One Pocket, and probably never will.
 
100 in 14.1 (and quit after 100).:eek:
3 racks 9 ball
3 racks 8 ball
Never broke and ran, but ran 14 once.

Have been beaten by many bangers
Have lost to many girls
Been thrown out of many nice pool rooms
About 6 month's ago, I made a ball on the break twice in a row playing 8-ball
About 6 months ago, I didn't scratch on the break playing 9-ball
Never won a game of 1-pocket
Never played a game of straight pool
Every time I get a cue that feels good to me, I sell it
 
14.1 high run on 9' pockets less than 41/2"=86

9-ball 9' table=break & run 3 racks

8-ball bar table=break & run 6 racks

Three cushion billiards=6 points many times

Big score=$1600 from player $700 from rail (bar table)

Rotation=2 racks break and run 9' table tight pockets

Broke and ran 1 game of one pocket once. After that, the poor fellow who took the beating got all upset, and left the pool hall, forgetting his jacket and cap.

For the life of me I can't figure out why he was upset. We weren't playing for anything...

Mike,

How come after I read your "assessment" of your game that my mind flashed back to the old Tom & Jerry cartoon where there was a nice big chunk of cheese, just laying there on that little wooden thing with the strip of metal just laying there so quietly. The cheese smells soooo good, and it IS just sitting right there....

Nice post:)
 
I can pretty much hold the bar box at the Jim Mill in Muhlenberg, PA all day long (or until the 4th or 5th shot of JD kicks in:p ).

Other than that I play an awful lot like Mike Templeton.:D

Johnnyt[/QUOTE]


3 racks of 9 ball on a 9 inch table?:eek: ;) That is way better than anyone here. LOL I'll take the 5 out.:D


The best I ever played was at DCC last year in the 9 ball banks. Although I got beat I went hill-hill with Larry Nevel to get beat 5-3 in the last rack. I was proud of myself.

Gary<a happy loser>
 
I've lost about 6 hundred in the last 3 months.

.....is this about gambling losses?

I guess so if you want to brag about how much you lost at pool!:D :D
But it started out about high runs....
 
Dozens of 2-packs in 9 ball
ten or so 3-packs in 9ball
three 4-packs in 9ball

two 3-packs in 8ball.......dont play this game much

one break and run in one pocket
several 8 and outs in one pocket

42 high run in straight pool........this was last night

Highest gambling win-$900
Have won $100 or more at least 20 times

Have won at least 30-40 banger tourneys

Have won about 10 tourneys with players on my level or better




I wont talk about the bad stuff, I might get tears on my keyboard:( :(
 
9-ball: ran 16 racks while giving Buddy Hall the 5 and out, and then broke dry.

8-ball: I haven't missed since 1984; I'm on a 1,596-pack and counting.

14.1: I ate Mosconi's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

1-pocket: Gave Ronnie Allen 27-3, with him getting to place the CB anywhere he wanted between every one of my shots. Eventually he found a loophole in the wording and started placing the CB on a different table after every shot. I ran out 3 more games that way, and then quit him winner.

I beat the 31-ball ghost once, with no ball-in-hand after the break.

Additionally, I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice.

I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention.

I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently.

Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes.

I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants.

I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard.

I enjoy urban hang gliding.

On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie.

Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear.

I don't perspire.

I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.

I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening.

I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair.

While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami.

Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.

I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin.

I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

And I'll be surprised if this is the least believable post in this thread, considering some of the whoppers I've read in similar threads on this forum.

High run in bank pool

High run bank pool: 27, practicing at a tourney in Rockford, IL.
High run bank pool for cheese: 16, 10 and out and then 6 more off the next break.
3 racks unfinished on the bar table playing Sid Heard 9 ball banks. He quit, he didnt want to look at any more.

I never played much 9 ball but I did run 9 racks on a 4 1/2 x9 at Congress Billliards in North Miami for money. I was eleven games loser at the time. I ran up to the 7ball on the tenth rack.

8 racks in a ring game in Ft Lauderdale at the Crossroads bar on a 4 1/2 x 9 bar table with the big cue ball. I was "holding" the table until Cannonball Eddie Kienowski could get there and get in. When he showed up, I gave up my spot for him. He broke even in the game.

I have witnesses who are still alive, by the way. I really hate to brag so shamelessly, but I play so bad now, it's nice to reminisce about the good old days.

PS On my new blog I will be pontificating on the sociopathic, political, and philosophical views I garnered and honed, on pool, and the world in general, during my 50 years in the underworld.
