What mistakes?

After Artie B reminded us fifty-six times to stop making so many mistakes, I finally heard his message, and I'm seeing some improvement in my game. I have always liked to show how smart I am by finding those special shots that ought to come out just fine. Too many of them didn't, and I have nightmares about the last ball rolling ruining my plan. It happened too often. So now I am passing up most of those and looking for safer moves that will still provide a positive result..

Here's a word of advice to anyone who wants to play one-pocket. If you put billiard balls in motion, be durn sure you know where they will stop. All of them. Each and every one. Move only the ones you need to, and then move them to good places. If you're not sure where they will go, better keep looking for another shot.

I have given you some tools to improve your game. I am not her to judge you. Its not punisment its a second chance. Some people only get one. If you get were you play a hole game and only make a couple of mistakes. You will be a good player a very good player. But some people dont like it when people keep repeading. Even kids tell their Mother and Father Dad I no I herd it a 100 times. Yet the do the same thing again. The no then why did the make the same mistake if the no? Figure out ahead of time what you are going to do with each inning at the table. Can you tell me what you are going to do and what the outcome will be. Or are you going to just shoot and do the same thing. I will get you to realy absorb what I am saying. I am not a drill sargent. But if you are thinking more now then you will learn. And not just bang balls around.

You are so right. I am now aware of so many times that I make stupid mistakes. It really has improved my game and certainly made it more interesting.

THANKS ARTIE.

I love it; That is a great line! And woe, how many times that is exactly how a 'great idea' unravels
