So you think you can shoot some good pool?

**BigRedChief** · 02-11-2007, 12:43 AM

My first job was working at a pool hall. I shot pool 12 hours a day or more for years. I got to be good enough hustle a lot of good players but I was never this good with the trick shots.

I grew up playing Snooker... still fairly good on a 7'/8' table.

that guy's a pretty good trick shot guy, but meh, trick shots never really did anything for me..the masse and jump shots are pretty impressive, but the ball placement shots aren't really all that difficult...

there's a reason that none of the best trick shot guys are top players in pocket billiard games...

at the pool hall i play at, we have a guy from st. louis that comes in 3-4 times a year who is a great trick shot player, but it's boring as hell watching him since it takes him a ton of tries to pull off most of the difficult shots...strange, the guy used to be a heck of a 9 ball/one pocket player, but now he spends so much time shooting trick shots that his pocket game skills have gone way down

I got to play against Jeanette Lee once. She let me break... then she cleared off the table.

Did you at least kick her ass at darts?

phisherman · 02-11-2007, 11:07 AM

that's the beauty of pool though...if you had run the table on jeanette, you could always say that you beat her...

it's one of the main reasons i love the game, no matter who's playing, any player can win on any given day. now i am realistic; i know that if i beat johnny archer or earl strickland a few times, i still realize that at the end of the day if we played 50 games, i will probably lose a great majority of them

No, but he fantasized about her ass while she was kicking his.

I've always enjoyed watching her play. Do you think the steel rod that was implanted near her spine is a competitive advantage? It definitely makes leaning over the table consistent shot after shot.

Interesting thought. I don't know.

I can say that especially in person... she was really hot.

That couldn't be any more spot on.

Archie F. Swin · 02-11-2007, 11:25 AM

too bad he didn't call a single one of those shots

I play fairly well. I played Ewa Mataya in a tournament once. She beat me 7 - 4, but that was on a 9' table, and I learned to play on a bar table.

If I had won, I would have played Dave Matlock. That would have been a little ironic because at the time he was known as the world's greatest bar table player.

I got to see lots of great side action at that tournament.
