I've been playing a lot of pool the last 2 weeks and I'm real happy with how I'm playing right now. The biggest difference is I've change my stance a little bit. I was playing this VERY good player that I've played several times and he was saying that I shoot good but I need to change my stance some. I was not on very good balance and after fixing what he suggested I'm playing great. By moving my back foot out about 12" it's given me much better balance and actually helps me stay down on the ball because my feet are a little wider apart which allows me to not have to be bent straight over. I'm still having some mental lapses and not focusing on every shot. I have made improvement on this problem but still need to focus 100% on all my shots. It usually happens on an easier shot or leave when I'm in the middle of a tough rack. I'll be so focused on getting to a ball or getting a certain leave and I'll come to the cupcake ball in the rack and let my focus slip because I've already done the hard work or the next ball is the hard work. I know many players have this same handicap so I'm not alone but I don't want to be "many players", I want to be better.
I played a pretty good player in league last night and beat him 7-2. He won the lag and chose 9 ball. He can either choose the game or to break. Generally, not always, but usually when I player chooses 9 ball it's because they're always going to try and combo the 9 in or bang it around and hope to get lucky. That wasn't necessarily the case with this dude but he did combo it in early once and the runout was easier than the combo. I was ahead 6-2 when we finished 9 ball and I won a defensive struggle in our 8 ball game. It took probably 10-12 safeties and about 8 ball in hands before I bested him with a sweet safety and then ran my last two balls and sank the 8. It was a good night for me in that I didn't miss any easy shots and only 1 shot that I should make more times than not.
I'm very excited about going to Vegas. I think I can do real well with how I'm playing and my confidence is sky high right now.

Protocol
Have you ever been out somewhere and when you get back to your car you see it? It's shining in the sun and laughing at you. DING. A nice ding on your car door from some worthless faggotface who can't seem to understand that when he flings open his door it's going to fly the fuck open at a NASCAR rate of fucking speed and hit the person's car next to you. It almost never fails that the queefsniffer who did it to you is gone. But today the car that did it was still there. I've had many thoughts as to what I should have done. What I did was nothing. I thought I'd be a bigger man and take the high road. I believe this was a mistake, very out of character for me. It's still eating at me that I didn't get revenge. Here's a list of the things I wanted to do to this pristine Chrysler minivan:
1. First thought was key it.
2. Spit a big loogie on the drivers side window.
3. Dump my coffee all over their hood.
4. Take a big fucking duece on the hood.
Out of all these I should have done #2. I think #1 may have been a little overboard. I had just drove to get my coffee and it was cold out so I didn't like #3 either. I would have absolutely loved to do #4 but as is turns out I didn't have it in me. Literally.
I'm wandering what the protocol is for this? What is acceptable punishment for catching your door ding criminal? Or should I act the like 29 year old man that I am and let it go?
