No Pool

Since beggars night was last night the team organized a make up week last week after the regular league night I missed and played this weeks round last week.

Essentially, that means no pool for me and I am sad....

A win is a win?

Last week we were playing a team of young guns. The up and coming teenage group. In one particular shot, my opponant drew the cueball back a short distance with lots of force and fouled on the end of his cue. My team saw the foul, but I didn't say anything. The kid ended up winning by running out after the fouled shot.

Now, giving due consideration to the fact that he didn't know he fouled, I think that he did know, but didn't acknowledge the fact. When is a win a win?

The game of pool is wonderful in the respect that you are really competing with yourself. I guess I have always tried to play the game as fairly and squarely as possible and with the notion that in the long run, cheaters never win. I guess this game is always ready to test a persons character.

And the pool room is always full of characters....
