Introduction
Thank you for visiting I Shoot Pool, my blog all about my billiard hobby. I’m Shooter. (Yes, a pool shooter named Shooter. It’s very funny.) I shoot on a travel APA team and an in-house team, both from the same tavern. Although there are five nights of the week I’m not shooting in a league, I like to practice a couple of those nights. I’m not the best pool player that ever lived, but I’m pretty good. Here I’ll be blogging about the games I shoot, things about pool, my history in pool, and all the tips and tricks I know and learn along the way. Feel free to join the discussion. Soon I plan to create a small forum and, in essence, a nice little community for pool players of all walks of life, communities, and rules. I don’t care if it’s eight ball, nine ball, or whatever. It doesn’t matter. I don’t care who I’m shooting or what I’m shooting. I want to shoot it and talk about it.
Right now you’re reading my initial post, which is just an introduction. Tonight I will be shooting on my APA league, and tomorrow I will make sure to update with a good post about how it went, and whatever I learned. Remember that you should bring something new away from every shot. If you’re always paying attention, you should always be learning.
Everytime you miss a shot, you should make sure you learn how to make that shot the next time, or at least what you did wrong, before you walk away from the pool tables for the night. You should always be paying attention to shooters who are better than you, because there is always something about angles, english, or strategy that you can always walk away with. That’s the kind of stuff I’ll be talking about, in the most interesting way I can.
There is a little news to talk about. My winter men’s in-house league just won the playoffs. We are the top team in our tavern. The end-of-season banquet was Saturday night, we were announced as the top team and all the teams were honored with a great night of free food, drinks, and pool games. It was a lot of fun, and the season was incredible.
Remember to check back tomorrow for another post. I hope to post on this blog nearly everyday, so check back as often as you can or want to. I love pool, and I hope to get many more people here that love it as much as I do!
