I actually should have won. All of the matches. I was not outplayed, I underplayed. I lost 3 games straight, it was really pathetic. I made some crazy sick shots, but the problem was that I missed too much. Actually, the problem was that when I missed once, a teammate would give me shit about it. He lost his match. He’s rated the same as I am. He really should be ranked higher (he use to work in a pool hall and has been playing for years). Yet he’s got the same ranking as I do.
The first time I missed something, he went about trying to tell me what I did wrong. I know what I did wrong, I cut the ball incorrectly. But to have him tell me about how I should cut differently and then went onto tell me what he would have done and how next time I should blah blah blah.
It wound up being my fault. I didn’t just tell him that I don’t need a replay of every mistake I made.
But every f*cking time he would say something after I sat down. The first game I was on the 8-ball but had too hard of a shot, the other guy sank his last ball and then the 8. The second game was much worse for me, I didn’t even finish the balls off of the table before he won. The third game I was so angry that I screwed up by mis-hitting and gave him ball-in-hand.
Oh well, I drank 2 Jack and Cokes and a couple glasses of beer and had like 3 pieces of pizza (two pepperoni and one sausage). That’s what counts, right?
