GOOD QUESTION, SIR'
Back then, playing bank pool in Tennessee, they broke the balls wide open and if they made one they spotted it and started banking. Although eight banks wins it, after Eddie broke and got eight, they let him keep on shooting until the rack was gone...Make that until 2 racks in a row were gone. Then seven banks on the third rack. Then, I guess he dogged it.
I asked him once what was the most racks of nine ball in a row he had run and I'll never forget his answer: " Alfie, It's like I have a jinx or something. Three times I've run fifteen and never could make a ball in the next break."
I'll take a jinx like that in a heartbeat. Wouldn't you? Of course Tennessee is full of four by eight tables and that could be a factor...Or not.
Keep it nice. Alfie
