This will end up being a slight ramble, of that i am sure, but its the train of thought my mind has been working on for the last few months...........
Pool and Money, Money and Pool - a deadly combination for those that lose but a sweet marriage for those that succeed.
My background in money matches is of creditable record, i mean discounting the crappy £5, £10, first to 3's or my fav "ill play one handed, if i get a one frame headstart" a line i have used to win many a £10 in the pub over the years. Oh yea and winning £10 playin with a footlong witches broom!! What a Halloween night that was!!! Back on point, of Sizeable money matches - i mean £20+, i have never lost. A few £50 wins, 15-7 and 15-9, plus one more sizeable win.
These are not easy matches, nor matches i have set up myself - i tend to shy away from offering the match, i prefer to be the challenged not the challenger.
Obviously i wouldnt play players that i deem too higher than my standard but in all honesty i have the abilty to beat anyone on my day over a consistant length of frames.
Recently (although my bankroll isnt of a great amount) i have been "challenged" to a few money matches and am musing over which one to take, if not all of them?
Problem is i had the money to lose before, and i am wondering is this a credit to my winning???
I have been challenged to:
£100 best of 19 - fancy winning this i really do, tricky player but the long run suits me and i should take it.
£50 best of 19 - vs player i beat 15-9 for £50 last time, again a match i fancy winning and should do
I have recently taken up 9ball and upon pissin off the local joes by battering them in their own tournies one told me i should take up straight pool and play for money - can it be a hustle!?! i dunno but i think i may take him up on that and if i lose then see it as a learning curve
