I barely made it up there in time. One minute left before elimination. First game, big blunder, he ran six. I made a couple of shots, lost. Second game broke. Ran eight after about three turns. Third game. Another terrible blunder to start game after his break. He ran six and barely missed a long rail bank for the out. I tied the game after about an hour. We both deliberately scratched. There were four balls lined up on the spot and I shot a two railer kick into the line thinking my cue ball would come back up table and leave him bad. It didn't. He made a position shot and I butchered the safe. He ran three. Next elimination. I ran six after getting a shot...... Was playing a relatively easy safe and shot the cue ball straight into the hole. He ran eight. Next game. Butchered another safe. He went out. Terrible, terrible execution, shot selection, speed, all facets of my game were non existent. I was(am) dead money.
I matched up a little later and continued my very bad play. I left after one set. I may never ply again. My eyes, back, wrist, legs, brain, all dead. I am so disgusted, I'm ashamed to say I play pool. I apologize to my fans who were watching me play so poorly.
