Fall of 2011

Well, I guess it's been a while since I last blogged... I guess it hasn't been as big an issue and my pool playing has been curtailed more than usual.

In the spring of 2011, I placed 7/8th in the ISPA 9-ball tournament, didn't cash in 8 ball and our team -- Pocket This - Brad, Brian, Tom and the other Matt placed 2nd in the open team tournament after winning the bracket, getting double dipped by the team that returned from teh backside.  At any point in the final two team matches, had I made the two outs I was working on, we would have won the tournament.  Hmm -- it's key to play well in key times. :-)

Fall league has gone well and my stats are very strong.  My Carmeli is playing well and I have a new Olney that will be delivered next weekend.  A nice looking cue, but will probably sell it to fund the high end Olney that he has in the pipeline.  I hope to keep the 6-pt Purple heart cue and add it to the collection and hopefully one of my kids will find enjoyment in the game.

FWIW
