Next up, Marybeth. Good player. She managed to clear her balls off the table, unlike The Kid. My second attempt on the 8 . . .
. . . produced this three rail kick in a side pocket.
Another three rail kick, this time in a corner pocket.
. . . plus a one-rail conversion. Sweet!
If it's Wednesday, it's gotta be . . .
. . . 3-ball at Maggie's.
I've been playing six years and never once had an ace on the break. Last year, Sarah had two aces in one day.
Last Wednesday, James scored an ace.
Now, that's an accomplishment.
My dry spell at 3-ball continued last week, and my 8-ball game was so-so, but after the tournament was over and I was warmed up, we played friendly (no money involved) bank-the-eight games.
First, I took out The Kid with a one rail kick on the 8.
Last up, Alex. Another good player - notice how he cleared all his balls, too. No matter.
Life is good!
The badass in our group, though, is Jim. Five rail kick . . .
Off to play in this week's tournament shortly . . .
Was it Paul Newman, playing pool in an old movie?
I've always been fascinated by this game, because it's a matter of ability, luck is not involved.
Probably Newman's third best film . . .
The Hustler
. . . after Cool Hand Luke and Hombre.Not much pool action in the film . . . it's really more a tale about redemption than the game.

Considering you're in OC . . .
. . . then pencil it in your next free Wednesday afternoon, Phil. Shoot me a pm for directions!

Oh man, that was a good afternoon.
Unbelievably I can still fit into that t shirt!
Cannot wait to see you again at the end of this month Art.
Looking forward, Mike

We might end up in a pool hall afterwards with Tony R . . .
. . . who's also a regular player, Mike.
Maybe we'll play for watches.
