I have always wanted to be good at pool. I like the sound it makes. It looks cool when you clean up. Especially if you are a girl who looks like a girl, not Minnesota Fats. So unexpected.
I have played a few times extremely poorly but last night I was wickedly good for no apparent reason.
I have put together a few dating pool tips that might also be applied to other difficult brain-centric sports and hobbies.
-forget to eat lunch.
-be a little tired and a little wired.
-drink a glass of something fairly quickly.
-put your body into it
– forget your head
-ignore what they say about angles and math and strategy and just go.
I sunk 5 consecutive balls. The pretty striped ones. The ones I was supposed to.
And then the 8 ball.
The crowds cheered. Sort of.
My opponent unfortunately bet the farm.
I am going to name my pretty new farm corner pocket.
I can’t explain the win except to say I totally didn’t focus on it.
I might be on to something.
Try it and let me know how you do.
(Afterwards all I wanted to do was tell my brothers and my dad)
Seemingly good advice for many things! Congratulations!
Thanks Lynne
I get the sneaking suspicion it will never happen again!
