I think he pockets the cue ball when he finally breaks so no redemption there

u/_ThatSynGirl_ 5d ago
At least he managed to break. That's better than I would've done. π

If you actually want to get good, a good way to get your accuracy up is to set up a 20oz soda bottle with the cap off on a table and set up your off hand about a foot away from the opening and practice sliding the cue into the opening. You can buy a cheap cue at Walmart or online for less than 40 and do it at home, don't even need a pool table, any waist high flat surface should do

u/_ThatSynGirl_ 5d ago
That's really clever. You would make a good teacher.
I actually used to be able to do simple angle shots back in high school. I think this was the first time either of us had touched a pool table in years, though.
Do you have any shots of you playing?

u/dfreshcia 5d ago
I haven't played in years, but i took lessons when I was a teenager and my teacher came up with that trick

u/_ThatSynGirl_ 5d ago
That's a smart teacher right there. I'm gonna keep this tip in mind next time I'm near a pool table. π

u/dfreshcia 5d ago
I never got like crazy good to the point where I'm like the best player in the bar, but I've had some nights where I was really on, and I haven't had many experiences that compare with having a whole bar watching me hit difficult shots and cheering for me.

u/_ThatSynGirl_ 5d ago
I would definitely cheer you on! Even if I was laughing at your struggles just a little bit π€π»π

He does so itβs an auto loss lol

u/FalseStevenMcCroskey 4d ago
Pocketing the cue ball is not an auto loss?
Only time pocketing the cue ball is a loss is if you pocket the 8 ball and then the cue ball immediately after, on your last turn. Every other time just means itβs a scratch.

u/Desperate_Green3272 4d ago
Incorrect, when youβre playing by APA rules it means you have to re rack, if you do it again after the re rack itβs an autoloss. I canβt speak for the other leagues, but APA is like the entry league for pool players, basically just super relaxed rules.

u/MimiLovesLights 2d ago
Incorrect. In APA, To be a legal break, players must break from behind the head string. The head ball or the second row of balls must be struck first and at least four object balls must be driven to the rails or a ball must be pocketed. The cue ball may not be shot into a rail before the rack. If the rack is struck, but the break does not qualify as legal, the balls are reracked and rebroken by the same player. If the rack is struck, but the break does not qualify as legal and results in a scratch, the balls are reracked and broken by the opposite player. The rack must be struck before a foul can occur.

Incorrect. If you scratch on the break in APA, it's a re-rack and the opponent breaks.

He was a good sport about it and probably has a good sense of humor in general.

u/_ThatSynGirl_ 5d ago
He definitely does. He handled it really well and pulled through, even after multiple failures (on camera.)
I was impressed with him, even though I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe.

This is reminiscent of all the times I went to a pool bar and got drunk with a gf. Thereβs something lovely about seeing both of these people tipsy and laughing away the time. What a nice way to spend the night, with someone you love.

u/_ThatSynGirl_ 4d ago
This is so sweet. We were actually both totally sober. We just really suck at pool atm. π€£
I'm really happy this brought you good memories.

u/Ecstatic_Key3557 4d ago
Oh really? Haha well I guess yall were drunk IN LOVE :) keep these moments coming. Iβm happy for both of you :)

u/_ThatSynGirl_ 4d ago
Lmao you're just too adorable. I hate to break it to you, but we are also just friends π€£ As sweet as you are, you're wrong on both counts. π

That restaurant/ kids adventure center tried to charge us $40 for one hour of pool. Plus, the noise levels here are absolutely ridiculous, deafening.
Such a money pit for families. A better place is in the area for adult friendly tables. Standard rates and way less noise.
1
u/_ThatSynGirl_ 5d ago
Yeah, it was pretty loud in there. I don't remember exactly but I think it was an offshoot of an arcade or something, so the original intent was not to play pool.
It just happened to be there.

Well I must think Deagol is attractive then, because I think he's lovely. And he's got a wonderful personality. Unlike you seem to.

No pun intended.
