Go up one level in this thread


I'd like to interject another thought into this discussion.  I play 9-ball
(Billiards) a lot and practice at home on my own table.  I often "Break & Run"
the rack.  I have done it at home more than 5 times in succesion.  I have NEVER
done it twice in a tournament ! There is something diffent about knowing that
your opponent is just waiting to pounce on your smallest mistake.  Playing in
the comfort of your home with nobody else around is a nice "advantage" for most
people.  Especially when nothing is really on the line.  You have to be able to
perform under real tournament conditions to claim the prize.
