Pool!

I love pool! This has to be the greatest game ever created. It’s one of those games that anyone can play but only a few ever master. Myself, I have mad skills with a pool cue in hand. I have played a lot of people that think that they are better than they really are. And the drunker a person gets doesn’t give them the “hustler” skills that they think it does. I have been playing since I was a kid, and only recently have I reached the point that I feel cocky about my game. I haven’t had the opportunity to play many high quality players in the places that I frequent though. So, I may be delusional about my own skills…NOT! LOL! I don’t play for money, not because I am afraid of losing, but because of the fact that most people get nervous and I want to see their best game when I am playing them. If you can beat me playing your best then good for you. I wouldn’t be mad if I lost to someone, but I would be mad if I won because they were holding back. I love it when the music is loud and I am on my game, it’s at that point that I can have everyone in the place watching me play and not have a care in the world. I do have a weakness for the guy who heckles your game and can be heard in the background saying things like “that’s just luck” or “I could beat that guy”. It’s these guys that I love to breakout the “A” game on. And I also like to talk shit the entire game about how lucky I would be to make this shot, and that shot, and I really thought you would have been more of a challenge. That, and numerous smiles and winks at their girls, no matter how fugly they are, seems to keep them from talking the rest of the night. HEE HEE!
