THOSE GODS DAMNED FUCKING TABLE ROLLS!!!
So last night I went to Corpus Christi with my uncle to play a weekly 8 ball tournament at Theo's. Well the cheap bastards recovered the tables with felt rather than cloth, like a pool hall should use, cloth that is. So I got proper fucked in the semifinals. Ended up taking 3rd. The first match was pretty straight forward, the guy lucked out in the first game, 1-0 then I won the second game, 1-1. He gave me a shitty loose rack and I smashed the living fuck out of it only to have the cue ball fly off table. He tried to run out, failed, I played a balls, developed a few, played safe and he fouled. I run my last 3, get way too close to the 8, make a beautiful bank for the win. Rough start, okay. Second match was a push over, 2-0 he was bitching to the large woman licking her lips at me that he already lost because I won't fucking miss. The next match was against a damn strong player, I won that one 2-0. I then ended up playing some lucky fuck that took a stupid shot and missed. The cue ball ended up corner hooked deep in the corner pocket and I had to shoot a 4 rail kick at the 8 ball. It was all down hill from there. I was pissed, and the balls kept rolling their way. Lost that set and the next one to only finish 3rd. Damn shame.
