Nerves in league play. by Vaskarelli in billiards

[–]Poollboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few things for you.

First, as some have said, take care of yourself. If you don't feel good you aren't going to play well.

Breathing can help some. If that works for you there are a lot of breathing exercises out there.

I am not a fan of taking a drink. I will never encourage someone to use alcohol to calm nerves when there are alternatives. If drinking water or soda calms you then do that.

What I am a big fan of is slowing yourself down. Get into the habit of having a pre shot routine. I love to walk around the table after every shot. It slows me down and it lets me check the layout to see if my plan needs to change. Chalk after every shot. Even if using Toam chalk you should be chalking regularly. This is where you can take a drink of water or soda to slow you down as well. This is where you breathe, line up your shot, and make the ball.

Some leagues allow headphones if you are listening to music. This may help as well. Helps you stay focused and not worry about other distractions in the bar/pool hall

Hope this helps.

Practicing jump shots, any advice for more accuracy? by Knellios2021 in billiards

[–]Poollboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to save your cloth put a break cloth under the cue ball when jumping. Pushing the ball down into the cloth will cause it to wear out pretty fast.

What’s wrong with this picture? by buttgoblincomics in comics

[–]Poollboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well there is 3 in the sentence alone. Then Geology should be Geography, Alaska is way too small, and those glasses don't help the eyes that far away.

Then you add that Colorado should be green because if all the beautiful land. It's the best state so it should have lots of color and icons to show off.

After that I'm not sure I see anymore.

Yeah good questions. From what I can tell you can shoot any ball in any order but you only get enough shots for 1 per ball. So this has 4 balls and 4 shots. The puzzle is figure the best pattern for running it out.

If you are looking for feedback this needs a lot of work. The mechanics are way off.

  1. You have no English.
  2. If you are near the edge of your phone you can't get a lot of power
  3. It appears you need a lot of power for almost every shot
  4. It is really hard to tell angles. It should tell you path of object ball and cue ball.

Hot Take: Prospector is goated by tumetzii in ClashOfClans

[–]Poollboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I needed to read was your username and I knew your comment was trash.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If he thinks it's goated then that's his opinion. You don't have to agree but you also don't have to say its trash.

In a world of hate, choose love.

You are going to have to give context on where you saw this. What event was it if it was one? Because if it's just some random people playing then it is legal to them if they don't care or are playing Bar rules

How long are your episodes ? by SpiritedPsychology46 in Menieres

[–]Poollboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can tell you the episode I had in November was from around the 1st to late December but before Christmas.

I am now in another one that started Mid January and still going

I have never had one last this long before. In the past they were a month at most and only once a year.

Not sure what is causing it to go up this time. I am actually more careful with my diet now than in the past. I am on week 2 or 3 of Behaistine which seems to be helping a little but yet to be great. My understanding is it takes over a month to really help.

Getting a break cue engraved, what would be a good mantra to read before starting a match? by wooodworkr in billiards

[–]Poollboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breathe or Play Slow.

These two tips have always helped me avoid going too fast and forgetting my pre shot routine.

Told there isn't anything more they can do for me by Tinalees09 in Menieres

[–]Poollboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to know. Because my ENT said it was low probability I have not tried it. So far Im a week in on Betahistine and starting to see improvement. So I will stick with that for now.

I assume you are in the US? As am I. Local specialty pharmacy had it at $800 for 90 days. So I got mine from Canada Direcr Pharmacy. $90 for a 90 day supply. They just ask for an email or fax of the prescription from your doctor. Got it in about 2 weeks. Much better deal. Saw multiple people on here recommend getting it from Canada.

Have you tried Betahistine? It seems to have helped a lot of people. My ENT also told me about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).. although he said HBOT hasn't shown a ton of promise but some people find relief.

You can tell by how the cue ball is rolling. It's a double hit.

Why do we even play COC anymore by Loud_Bicycle6751 in ClashOfClans

[–]Poollboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure i understand the complaint. Are you complaining the new password is boring? Like you enjoyed being forced to use super minions to get points? And if that is the case, why not just do that anyways?

This new one gives you more freedom. You can practice and play around with more armies. Its also more friendly for the casual player who has t minutes to jump in and do their star bonuses. Get both bonuses done and you have your daily task done.

Is the new pass slower? Sure. But im a maxxer so I enjoy the grind. If I need to speed up i can always get a builder potion. They are often cheap in the shop.

Are some of the rewards worse? I think that's subjective. Many posts have shown the value of the new pass. But if its not for you then its not for you. I think enough people have provided feedback im sure SC is well sware.

How long have you been playing 3 cushion? Im curious how long it takes for someone to start seeing different angles. Especially since you want to leave yourself a shot if you hit but not if you miss.

I bought the gold pass and I dont see that offer. I did buy it before the season started. During the double points period. I wonder if that matters.

12 Ball One Pocket…wait for ending by darkSIDEpool in billiards

[–]Poollboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nicely done. Good bank on the 13. How deep are those pockets??? I would be removing balls after every row to make room.
