<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 3649843, member: 24633&quot;]I never got excited about making the 8-ball on the break. I always preferred to break and run out. There is nothing more demoralizing to your opponent when you don&#039;t allow him to get a shot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember once when our VNEA league staged the &quot;Captains Cup&quot; sponsored by the Seminole Indians in 2005. The captain of each team was allowed to name another team member to play to represent his team. </p><p><br /></p><p>I should add that the Seminole team was stacked with gamblers and even one pro player who at that time was ranked #7 in the world. The Seminoles hated to lose at anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>As it turned out, the player selected by the Seminoles was determined to be ineligible because he hadn&#039;t played enough weeks. So, I suggested that they let the pro on their team play instead. Everyone agreed. I ended up playing him twice. I knocked him out of the winner&#039;s bracket and then beat him again in the semi-finals.</p><p><br /></p><p>After the awards presentation which included $500 and a very nice jacket, I overheard one of the Seminole Indians say, &quot;You let Chris beat you?&quot; to which he replied, &quot;What could I do? I didn&#039;t get a shot!&quot;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I love pool!</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
