Played the Beard two games of banks and two games of one pocket today. I won the first game of banks 8 to 4 but lost the first game of on pocket 8 to 1. The second game of banks I opened with a four and then a few innings later I added a three and was leading 7 to 2. I played loosely and didn't try to tie balls up figuring I was playing a dead man, however, I was wrong The Beard played great scoring two tough banks and then closing me out by running four and out. Ouch!! The final game of one pocket was played and Fred broke the balls I played a good shot by banking a ball into another ball and hanging it and what I thought was a good shot but Fred played a billiard out of the stack and ran 7 balls and continued to squeeze his way to a 8 to 1 win. That's right he squeezed me but I didn't squeeze him in the second game of banks when I was leading 7 to 2.:heh:(:D Alls good.

Are you trying to get another ball from the Hacker?

Just kidding! Nice shooting Freddy!

He robbed me as well last summer, i was out of stroke(that didnt matter), we played 11 ball banks 6/5. He ran 3 4 innings in row and a couple 4's on me. I coudnt fade that if i was playing my best. The only smart thing i did that day was bet cheap.

however i will be back for more, and i will be ready next time.

For those who paid attn in the bank forum: (link:http://www.onepocket.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7779&page=4, #1 post by Cowboy Dennis. ) the 2-ball cross-side was my out shot. I told Dr. Bill
before I shot it that I was going to use what I suggested in that thread to make the ball. Rather than low right hand english, I used no english, extremely low ball with speed. So low that the draw doesnt take effect on the object ball, (overcuts tremendously. and acts like reverse english and flies straight across the side with no "break."

Col Bille was the only one in tune with me on that post
