If wana say a specific day I start playing pool frequently, I would say it was this summer. There is a pool table in Ada's dorm, so it was our time for fun, and its free!
After came here and there is a game room where can play pool for free as well... so here I started to play everytime after class, and when I tired of study at library. So my pool life just about 3 months, not even 100 days... however, there are some friends who so good at it and share a lots of info and experiences to me...
I think humble is a really important manners, especially for us...Look at Yao ming, everyone shows respect to him and he is always humble even he knows he is one of the best center. There is one of my friends, he play some good pool, but his attitude is really a problem... no one likes that and those super good pool players always try to humiliate him...
anyway...back to me... my first round opponent was a girl named Becky, she has her own pool sticks, can I think she is one of the best player among girls... however I was just lucky. First game when I just left 3 balls, I just got 2 in by luck, and she accidentally scatched my ball and the ball went it. I just left the black 8 ball and game was over. Second game she made all the balls before me, but the white ball was in the hole...and I was lucky enough to finish all the balls after the ball in hand.
The best player (my friend too ) was lost at the second round, and his oppenent was my final oppenent. Just skip to final la..lol
the game was intense, it was our both first time finals...all the good players were out... I missed too many opportunities and lack of experiences, and it took almost 20 minutes for the first game. For me I dont have much pressure in the final, because I never thought about going to final..
My target every week is just going to second round, cuz most of the people there are far better than me, they playing pool for ages and Im just a newbie. The other guy, Sam looked more nervous than me. I still lost the first game cuz i missed the 8 ball for a inch!!
Second game took longer time. We made lots of unncessary mistakes. When Sam finished his ball I just have 4 balls left. I gonna use those 4 balls to block his shot. My strategy worked, before this game I never use any strategies on any games. Cuz I dunno how to control the ball, anyway...My time to hit the 8 ball after went in all the 4 balls..and right now is the moment again, basically if i cant get the ball in i will lost..and indeed, I just missed the angle and the ball stopped right front the hole@@!!
Anyway..it was a good game!!!! Glad I made it to final!! A great experiences for me before stressful finals!!
