Mike was a great guy. We played $ 100 a game one pocket at hollywood billiards about 9 or 10 years ago. I beat him 6 games.
As far as my rating goes on his site Doc its real simple. If im playing pool everyday I think I will beat everyone on the site. The problem is I usually never play. Pool down here is depressing. The last 6 years I have hit pool balls an average of an hour 1 time out of every 2 or 3 weeks so what you have been seeing is a guy without all his weapons sharpened. I havent played MY one pocket game in at least 8 years because since I never play I cannot shoot shots I would definitely make. I have to opt for a "move" when I would normally fire something in and run out. I have alot of negative thoughts that go through my head when i play these days which causes me to miss shots. That being said I did play last thursday against Slava the russian guy who was with us at buffalos. We played 9 ball races to 7. I won the 1st set but played bad because of the negative thoughts. I blew up at myself and then
I remembered something Buddy Hall told me about 12 years ago that I had not been doing for years. I started doing it the next set and i broke and ran 5 out of 7 racks and played a perfect set. Once Slava saw that he was done. I have a feeling this stone crab just got both his claws back( in other words my entire arsenal) so in other words everyone on this site if ****ed:sorry
