In Response To: Congratulations From One Weak And Lousy Player To Another! (Paul Weaver)

I unfortunately did not go 11-0. Bill Davis crushed me 9-2 in our first match and I returned to my luckbox form to win 9-4 in the next match.

I will write a much longer and even more boring post than this one with a bunch of pics I took over the weekend. Overall I think I played pretty well for me. No matches were recorded but I feel strongly that I played in the 12.2 - 14.6 PR range. I am that good!!!

In one match I made a .45+ error acording to XG+ and my oppenent immediately followed it with a .47+ error (now you can see how I was able to estimate my PR range so accurately).

In my DMP game against the esteemed Howard Markowitz I had a 6-2 to play that left one blot and 12 shots or 2 blots and also 12 shots (he had a closed board). After being heckled by Howard for taking so much time for considering the 2 blot play I made the one blot play. He rolled a number that would have hit the 2 blot play and I rolled my best two rolls in a row and the match was mine. I took a picture of the position and showd it to MCG who thought maybe the 2 blot play was right. For some stupid ass reason I bet him 100-50. I lost, the two blot play was right. I made another bet begging him to take it so I could break even with him (this time getting 50-100). I lost again and owed him $150. Then told him never to ask or accept a bet from my dumb ass again.

More boring sh*t to come!
