Tournament: House 8-ball at The Pool Room
Posted On Sunday, August 25th, 2002 By David Veatch
I played my third APA 8-ball tournament today at the Pool Room. I’ve posted the results down there in the low left. I’m honestly not sure how I feel about publishing how badly I suck like this, but maybe, on the off chance that someday I am considered a good player, I can look back on these and those to come and see proof of my progress. First match was against a cute little redhead ranked at 2. She had this amazing knack of leaving me hooked. Her first win, I must have given her 3 ball-in-hands. Second rack, she broke and I ran it out. Third rack, I was on the 8 and she left me hooked again (easy to do, since she had 6 balls left). I sank the 8. It was the most amazing timed-massé-kick-double-bank-carem shot I’d ever seen… too bad it was in the wrong pocket. Second match was against a friend named Josh. Typical games. He got the first win, and I took the next three. Nothing really spectacular about any of them. Third match was against someone I’d never met before, but who turned out to be a really nice guy. Again, none of more »
