That's the bell curve, playa. I'm the same with chess.
I can't play pool or billiards for shit. My father is a gun, as are several of my close friends. I'd rather just drink and watch the game.

Same with me. Pool and darts. I’m terrible sober and drunk. But that sweet spot makes me a ringer.

My billiards days all happened back in Wisconsin. Not sure I’ve ever picked up a cue in Chicago.

I'd bring the baby along, and really play up the whole ringer thing. It's good to have an angle.

I like playing pool. High ball, low ball , eight ball.
Some people play you don't have to call your shots. The heck with that.
We would play you have to bank the eight ball. Always .
I could beat anyone, not kidding
P.s. I never break tho
