Pool: the game of gods I first played pool in August of 1999 and immediately fell in love with the game. Even though I'm not very good I always have fun. It seems to me that a little bit of alcohol helps play better, but I could be wrong. When I try the really tricky shots I do well, but on the long straight shots I miss. If a shot looks like it would be tough with my right hand I just use my left. |
