I played Cotton lots of banks 6-4 and I can think of 20+ times my $$ ball would hit the point and He would get up and bank out 4,5,6 balls on my miss(by hitting the point) thus giving him the table and the runout. This was on 4 5/8" pockets or 4 1/2" Pockets I dont remember the exact size. I just remember how many times I'd miss by a hair and he would bank out on me. It was pissing me off becasuse for a while he was teasing/sharking me, getting into my head because the 4th ball, my $ ball would awalys hang or hit the point, I forgot about that on my last post, I was just sitting here thinking of bank pool I have played and remembered Cotton f*ucking with me. LOL

If I had won those games and I would have on 5" pockets, Cotton would have not beat me on many times we played. We bet $5/game so it wasnt a big deal-were good friends and it was cheap lessions, but I remember it clearly.


There is no doubt in my mind the bigger pockets favor me playing Cotton. It might be different playing you John because you bank so strong the pockets might not matter. So in conclusion the big pockets either benefit or dont benefit/matter for the weaker player, big pockets never benefit the strong player. Big pockets make it worse or arnt a factor for the stronger player.

Yeah but I'm not going to make as many balls on a tight table vs a loose table. And that's for sure!!
The last guy I played with a big spot, I played shape on everything because the pockets were not tight. I figured that was my best chance cause the guy can bank a ball or two.Now had the table been tight I would have had to play my other stlye.You know make one,weld to end rail and so on.I played him ringgame style, Yeah that's It.lol

If I am betting on you or backing you and you play fat boy. 6 to 3 .
I want you too play him on the thightest table possable.

And if he only has too make3 balls I sure dont want to make it esier for him. Knoweing it will be harder for me too. But you will get better shots and hanks.

And you accracy. compared to a player getting 6 to 3. I belive the difference will be you will avarage 3 balls to every 1 ball he makes on a 4 inch pocket table.

Because the difference in ability Knowledge and you will have easier shots. Were the 4 inch pocket the weack player will strugle to make a ball. And might not even be able too make one ball.

Tight pckets are complete suicide for a week player.


I cant beat John 6-3 on any table, unless its a barbox and I get the break, then I would win more games but still lose. I dont know if I could win 6-2 so this is another weird game like Dip's 18-4 action, conventional pool wisdom/facts dont apply.

Monster spots change everything and because we dont see them often perhaps none of us really have a firm grip on whats really going on. Thats another possibility. We just dont know. We all know certain things like I stated in my first post in this thread, we know them because of experience and time has taught us those facts. But the new era of monster spots is new, isnt it? I never seen huge spots like this in 26 years, I have heard of one or two sessions with them long ago, but not anything on going like Dip is doing. There might not be enough information to have taught any of us how it works with monster spots. Its not straight line logic, funny things happen and different stragity applies with these type of games. And that is the reason we dont know.

It's hard to compare banks with one pocket as far as tight pockets go. In bank pool some weaker players will miss the bank by a huge number of inches, some of my banks are off by a foot. Good bankers when they miss a bank it's by an inch or by hitting the points. In this game tight pockets favor the better banker.

In one pocket, sure banks are a big part of the game and many runs start with a single bank, but then one has to shoot and that's when pocket size becomes a big factor.

In an up-table game the better banker has a huge advantage but in other games it's rare that many would miss a shot by a foot. This is where tight pockets favor the weaker play if he is getting weight.

In rotation games I can't give up the same spot on a tight table that I could give on a looser table. This has been proven to me many times throughout the years.

Frank, I strongly believe that 4 inch pockets hurt the better player when he's giving up substantial weight. Tight pockets isn't relative to what i'm saying, a 4-1/2 inch pocket is considered a tight pocket, and I believe that a 4-1/2 inch pocket helps the better player giving substantial weight. But their is a pocket size that hurts the better player giving substantial weight and I believe it's a 4 inch pocket or smaller. For those who might have a problem understanding what i'm saying, let me put it in another prospective. WHEN GIVING UP WEIGHT TRY TO CHOOSE A POCKET SIZE THAT INTIMIDATES YOUR OPPONENT BUT DOESN'T INTIMIDATE YOU.:)

Billy I.



I pick a tighter pocket table because it helps me win. And It will also help the smarter player a lot more too.Its not just about shooting. And running balls.

Watch a tape on tight pocket table and see what the good player does and shoots

And then see what the weak player does and what he shoots.

And then watch the same two players on a 4 and a half inch pocket. And see what happines thier. .

But up a few sifferent taps or DVDS and see what hapines on the different size tables.

And A tight table will aslo help the more accurute shooter. He will make balls were the weacker player will hag the balls.

Let a good player shoot a hard shot 30 times on a 4 ich pocket. And 30 times on a 4 and a half inch pocket. And see what the percentage is.

And the let the week player shoot the same thing 30 times and see what his avarage is.

If both players need a ball. It will affect the weacker player way more then the better player.

And a great player can get use too playing on a tight 4 inch pocket. By playing on those size pockets a lot.

Were a weack player wont help him because he is limited with his ability. And thier problem is makeing balls thats what makes them a week player.

Unless they dont no the game at all. But thier are very week players that no the game real good but the just cant shoot.

And If a good player played a week player on a 3 inch pocket the week player might never make a ball.

And a real week player will loose most off the time without the good player running a bunch off balls. Because he will out move him to death and he wont even get a shot.

So he can loose by just getting out moved. And a great player wont give up no shots too a weack player. Unless the week player is a good mover. Or he wont even get a shot.

I guess It really comes down to the size of the spot maybe.IMO John B.

Your suppose to take my side you have the same initials as my father. JB. Thanks for your aswer. We all no people will play on whatever size they like and feel comftrable playing on.

Every person will have different size pockets tables lights chalk bals you name it. People will do what the like. And I have to be honest thats the way ut should be.

Why bet your money on something you dont like or even a person you dont like.

We all play pool because we enjoy and like the game. Or we would not have spent all that time learning and playing the game.

Thier is something about the game that keeps us playing.Weather we can make a ball or not. And thier are always a lot off great stories to her.

And Who is the best and who was the best and who will be the best. And thier are a million money stories And a million bad beats. And A lot off people think the biggest bad beat story happened to them.

And all the imposable things that happened in games for the other player who won. And what about the greatest shot you ever seen.

And the biggest dog in life. And the greatest trick shooter in life. I could go on forever. And who has the greatest pool story off then all.

And the history off pool and the people who made the game pretty special and fantastic. All belongs in a pool MUseum. Maybe one day.

And what is going too replace the internet. I dont think I will be around. Its hard too imagine that one day the internet will be old fashioned. But thats the circule off life.

Have you heard enough to give your opinion now? You can start a new thread called Gradys pocket.

I think we have analized this up and down and inside out. And Its ewo way opinionated. And I think everyone did a great job.

Giving thier point off view and howe the feel.

And too be fair I would call it a splite decision and thier mite have been more people who were on the side off the bigger the pockets the better for the player giving out the bigger spot.

And everyone did thier best to say howe they felte. Were all winners because we all shared and particapated.

And one day if the same qouistion comes up they will have all these replies too read and they wont have too go through thewhole thing again.

Because we all did the work already. And if they want to pursue it.

The only Democratic way would be for everyone to vote and see howe the vote comes out.

And I dont think it can be any faier then that.

No matter what anyone says. Because its all been said.

And the rest off the world will see that its like a super bowl and thier are votes for both sides.

And its not just one way And people should play whats the think is better for thier game no matter what everyone says.

You need to make the desicion for your game and money. The only person that will be affect by it is the player in the game.

And it was a long hard debaite and everyone kepte pretty good control. Eithout someone realy getting out off line. And it was a good descouison.

And I think almost everyone stayed too thier opinion and didnt change. And if thats what you belive then thats howe it should be. Dont just change sides.

Because off who is on one side or the other. Or you dont want too hurt someones feelings. Stick too what you belive and think is the correct answer.

And a lot off times feelings get hurt because youre friend or the person you thought was on your side took the opposite ove what you think is the best size pocket for you and what you belive.

And in life thier will be lots off times that you like the opposite what youre friend or someone that is part off youre team or group likes that you dont agree with.

Just because someone doesnt agree with you it does not have too be a war. WE all have different opinions and different likes and dislikes. Even in food clothes women and gamling.

And we dont have too showe oe anger and anamositie because someone has a different opinion. Control youre emoyions and thoughts and you will be a stronger person.

And next time something comes up we will be able to handle it much better with more control.

And we will be able to foucus more on the Issue what we are talking about then the anger and hatred taking over and getting the best off us.

Everyone wants to be wright and everyone wants too win. Doit in a way like the player you want too be. And everyone wants and desirves RESPECT.

You are all winners not because whos way one or lost. BUt you are all winners because you tried and you all shared. And thats what makes us winners.

WE are the role models for this site. Show everyone that no matter want side we like we are all part off this site. And we are all on the same team.

I wrote this because this is howe I feel. Enjoy the rest off the day. AB

Artie, the best post on this thread is the 50th post made by you. Were you ever a politician?[/QUOTE

No but if I was could I get youre vote. The times have past me by. All I am is a old pool player that made a good linong at hustling.

I am glade I didnt have too work for a living at least I was my owne boss.

Put hustling pool isnt a easy way too make a living. But at least I did what I wanted too do.

if I would be 25 intodays generation and all the things I have learned I would have had a different life.

Because Hustling was good back in my days and Beating the casinos sports books was like backing 20 pool players with the nuts. For me it was a no loose sutuarion.

And if I wouldnt have been put out off action I would have done a lot off other things. And every thing would have went my way big time.

It would have like having the biggest winning streack in life.I would have had so much money. Nobody would even have belived it.

But things happen in tour life that can change everythung. And they took a lot off heart out off me. And my ambition and drive.

And I reay didnt want the money. But I wanted my 3 children and grand children too have it.

And I would have been abil to help the poor and homeless. But my big thing would have been helping the orphans. They all desirve a family.

And I have always had the most sympathy for orphans.

Because they realy dont have anyone. And U gues I feel that way because I came from a real close family.

But all kids desirvie a chance in life. And someone too love them. And showe them that they are not alone.

And I had some Ideas howe to get it all started. And make it better for them. And when I think about it and all the orphans in the world I feel hurt and helpless.

Because off all these kids growing up with out parents. IF I was in power off the world. I would have everyone that wants a baby. To take a orphan and raise it like ut was thier own child.

WE have too take care whats her first and not turn our heads away and say I want my owne baby. WE have too take care off the problem before we can go forward.

These are all human beings that need love and a mother and father. And people can always make babies.

Thier is no shortage. But we need to take care and help the children that are her allready.

And not turn our head away and be selfish and turn away and say thats not my kid.

But it is our world and we all live her. And its the strong peoples responsability to take care off the weak and the people who cant take care off themselves.

What kind of creatures are we Everyone needs a chance and a family in life.
What is life about if we cant help nobody but ourselfs.

Dont all the other people in the world count. If they would be part off youre family or your daughter or son. You would feel completly different about them.

Its not thier faulte that thier her. But it is our faulte if we dont help them. Thry are as much part off this world as we are. And we are no better then them.

THey have feelings and emotuions just like we have. And if we turn our head and look away and ignore them. We are not what we think we are. We are not loving careing people.

We are loosers And we can look away but it will always be in our mind what we are and we abandoned the future children off our country.

And we are all part off the human race. And what do you see in your mind when you see some poor helples child all by them selves. Howe do you raly feel?.

Do you feel happy or sad Or maybe you are one off those people who say boy is that terrable.

And when you look into a orphans eyes and they look at you with love and hope.

And look at you hoping thatb you will be thier mother and father. And take you with them and accepte you ass thier son or daughter.

And they will live in a place they can call home. And grow up with two people who care. And call you mom and dad. And even have a brother or sister too play with.

Thier is no stronger feeling in life then to help a child and give them love.

You will feel good about what you did to help a child and give them what they desirve.

And you make youre life more meaning full. Because you have a purpose.

By giving and not takeing and sharing your home with some one who has nobody and was less fortunite then you..

When I look at those children. And look at their little faces and smiles. I say too myself that could have been me.

Because nobody gets too pick thier parents or thier mother or father. We are all part off each other.

And If I was one off them I wish someone would take me. And give me a chance that every child desirves. I thank God for giving me my parents and two brothers.

And gave me asrong healthy body and mind. WE are all human beings and nobody nobody is any better then anyone else.

Even if some people think they are. Be tankfull that you are one off the lucky ones. That had parents that loved you and cared for you.

I no not everyone came out off a loving careing home. And a lot off you had it hard.

And worket for what you have. No matter were you came from.Or how hard it was for you.

YOu no howe it feels better then anyone. Because you went through all those night mare days and nights.

And you might have even been one off these orphans and grew uo nobody wanting you. You no howe it feels .

And you no that every child has a face and body and desirves a chance in life.

Do whatever you can for these children they need you. And they will even apriciate it more then your own children. I say if you can help one child give them a chance.

Let them live in the land ove the free with two loving parents like ever child deserves.

People need too care more and help more Instead off making more babies. Adopte a baby or child that is already her. Give a chace to a child the greatest gift I no on earth.

i got to admit
when your posts are a foot long
i just dont have the stamina to read them:mad: :eek:
you have learned to press enter to make spaces:)
that has saved many migraines:)
if you have a post thats many many lines
STOP
and start a new post
its easier to read
there are pearls amid your reduntant themes
i wish to catch them but sometimes its too much
i could be the only one that feels this way but i doubt it
your last post on the pocket size thread was GREAT
its too bad on many threads here especially what would you do now threads
that we cant have the same intellectual discussion and not a my balls are bigger than your type discussion


on a different note
i must admit my enthusiasm for posting shots and posting questions that might help those of us that did not make a carreer at pool
to see them end up in bickering insteaqd of teaching makes me reluctant to still be an active participant and instead an occasional poster and constant lurker:(

I like Arties posts, now that he is putting the spaces between the lines. Its good to see how other people think and look at the world from their point of view.

Artie and me are a lot alike we have came to find out since we got to know each other off line, He was much more successful than me in the pool room, but back before I made $$ in telemarketing I did make steady $$$ in the pool room on the grind, I couldnt ever make the big score. Just chump change but it was steady.


back to pockets, I curious what Grady has to say.

In life we do what we think is they way too do it.

And when I post I dont count my words and its not rehirst. I wright what comes into my mind.

If I would wright a book I would do it the same way. I wright what I know belive see and feel.

It is hard too just stop because someting is too long. I stop when I feel that I have said what needs too be said.

I have never seen a righter or a speacker stop in the middle off his book and speach.

THe complete thier story or speech. Some people express themsles real short and brife. And other people make it long and drawn out. Everone is different.

And I go into more details and Why on my posts. And if someone wants to breack it down too two or three different parts. Its Ok with me.

When I start wrighting everything comes natural. and If I stop or shorten something. I bracke my cocentration. And dont complete what I am wrighting about or explaining.

And I feel like some important things are not said or talket about. But if some thing is interseting or you enjoy reading what the person wrote then youre concentation should continue on what the person wrote.

If you think its too long or boaring I would say stop reading and do something different that you want too do. Nobody tells anyone what they should read or howe much.

We all have a choice to read it or not too read it. Or we dont even have to look at it.

And thier are many other thigs too read and do. IF I were giving you a pool lesion and My lession has been more then 6 houers and you were learning a lot.

And you want to learn more. Would you tell me too syop after 3 houers and say we will continue tommarow.

Becaue you are tierd or board. If you are or feel that way. I would tell you I am not the wright person too give you lessions.

You need a teacher that will give you short and briffe lessions. Maybe becuse your attention span is too short.

Or you get board fast. Or you have trained youreslf not too concentrate and stay foucuset on a dubject for a long time.

Whatever it is you need ahorter lessions and a teacher that teaches that way. And thats ok because thats eowe you think.


THat reminds me when I was playing Nick Varner we played 5 days in a row very long sessions. His father asket Nick if you cant win Why do you keep playing.

And Nick told his father I am learning so much I cant quite. So you see If a person is into what they are doing and want more.

Its never too long. Only for a person that has a short attention span.

But no matter who it is if you are concentating and are into what you are doing or reading you can go on for ever.

Because if youre mind is into what you are doing or reading thier is never enough. No matter how long.

I played John And We played for a while we played twice. If we would have played 6 or 10 more houers I think John would have keepte playing.

Because once a person is into a game and is realy playing and concentrate on the game.

The Time is aralavent. And if they are enjoying themselves and playing hard. Nothing could get them too stop playing. Because the love the chalange.

And wild horses couldnt drag them away. And what are they going too do go too thier room. And stop doing what they are enjoying. That will never happen.

And not even they money can get them too stop. Because they want more. And both players no that its not easy too find people like that too play with.

And it comes down too if they are enjoying themselves you can get youre body too play for two or 3 days. Because your mind controles your body.

And even if your body is tierd your mind controls your body. And will tell your body to keep going.

What I am telling you her is something you can learn from. And not too many people no this or do it.

But I learned it it Tafft Presion in CAl. I was walking around the track as soon as the count was over and the doors opened.

I was with this youg guy 25 years old in great shape and I give him and 3 other people a bet that I could do more laps walking then the young guy.

The young guy plyed on the basket ball team and the soocer team and the baseball team.

And he was in tip top shape. Everyone thought that this guy was steeling my money. Because he was way younger and un top shape.

And I wighed around 250 pounds. And We started walking and walking. We took a half houer for lunch because the took the count.

That means that they make sure that the count has too match howe many personers thier are supoose too be.

Wright after lunch we continued walking and he was starting too weeken a little. And we would have bootles off water we would drink while walking.

Then it became time for dinner. And another count. Wright after they count we continued walking.

I seen it in his face he was all mein he was all done. And an houer llater he did a hundred laps. And gave up. And he said you win. I said ok.

I said I am going too keep walking and one off the inmates said the record is 120 laps and I said thanks. And I keepte walking. And I won my bet and I was at 125 laps and my body was realy getting weack. And I told myself.

That I am very week put I told my mind that I am going too walk yell the guards tell everyone too come in for the night and take the evining count.

And I told my mind That my mind can control my body and my body will do whatever my mind tells my body to do. And thats when I learned that I could control my body. With my mind.

Try it and see for yourself. And my mind told my body too keep walking and I was getting stronger and less tiered. And my body reacted too what my mind told it too do.

And I never new there was such a power. But I learned that youre mind can tell your body what too do. No matter how your body feels.

That was one off the strongest things that I learned.

And the next day the young man that I walket with couldnt get out off bed. His feet hurt his body hurt everthing hurt.

When I got up that morning I askt him are you ready too do it again.

He said I cant even get out off bed. And I did 145 laps the day before. And that is a record I dont think will be brocken.

And nobody belived that a fat over weight old man could do that.

But I did it by my mind controling my body and telling my body what too do.

And I felte real good for aeeks what I did. And nobody figued ut out how I did it.


But the lession her to learn and it will show up in youre life in pool and sports and other things.


Remember your mind controles your body and your body will do whatever your mind tells it too do.

I have kepte this too myself ever since I learned ut. And it works. I hope John doesnt read this.

Its ok if Billy reads it because after 3 houers he is done.

JUst one qouistion does your mind control your body?

If you do not belive that then all we can do is tie.

Because neither one off us are going to change our opinions.

And thats ok. Does any one else have a opinion?

Dock you should be very good with this. And I think you will have a good amswer.

JUst one qouistion does your mind control your body?

If you do not belive that then all we can do is tie.

Because neither one off us are going to change our opinions.
Artie,

I am agreeing with you:) . The mind is a heck of a weapon.

Artie, you're absolutely right, but only up to a point, and that point closes in on you as you get older. A man should know his own limitations - I believe Clint Eastwood said that. Your body responds to your mind, and does it better for some people than for others. But it you press it, eventually your body's response becomes "What!? Are you crazy? I'm out."

Besides, the word is that you hugged the inside rail and walked shorter laps than the young inmate. :D

You will never no what your body can do tell you test it. And howe do you no the lemits if you havant gone through it. And tested your body.

And he were walking sid by side so thier was no advantage. If you have never done this try it and see for yourself.

And even if youre body is exausted and youre mind feels good. It can get stronger. But you have too go through it too see it.

But give it a try. And when you are dead tiered and ready to go to slep. Tell youre body its not time too go too slep yet. And your body should react too your mind.

Her is another way to test this. When you are in the park or some were walk and then tell your body too walk faster. And when your body is tierd from walking.

Tell your body too walk faster. And see what happines. I never new you could do this I wish I new this when I was younger. But I didnt.

And My friend Rory Oshea was a great boxer. And he disagreed with me completly. But that was Ok. He thought because he was a great boxer.

And his body was in tip top shape and he had no fat. He thought it was all in the body. Too this day he still belives the body controles the mind.

And I am sure that other people would take his side. But people will always disagree with what someone else says.

I was going too walk from las vegas to Chicago with his brother Tommy Oshea. But when I said lets go. He decided not too go for it.

The were 5 brothers and one sister. All the brother excepte patrick the youngest brother all were boxers.

And they hold a Golden Glove record were 4 brother all made the finals. In the golden gloves.

And they could realy box. And Rory and Brian did good as pro boxers. They all came from Irland. And they grew up Boxing and drinking.

And the are in a boxing book. For howe good they were. But the money wasant too much back then for light wight and wiglterr weight boxers.

THey would just body bunchin the pool room with each other and my stomack would hurt just watching the shots they took. But I guess they thought it was fun.
