The journey begins

Wooooooooooooooo!

Won on Money Match TV 21-10. Didn't play particularly well after going 9-1 up. Hard to focus 100% when you get that much of a lead and your opponent isn't firing any bullets at you. Lessons to be learned, but made a lot of great shots and have confidence that I can play again and have a lot more in the tank.

The guy I stuffed wants a 2-legged rematch starting in Manchester (Deansgate Rileys) and finishing in Leicester (Rack n Roll). Once I've had time to consider t&c's this match will happen, so that's a match to be arranged

I am playing a chap called Mark Lovell on Saturday March 5th. Venue tbc and I'm going to try to get him to play for more than £200. Will probably be played in Birmingham or Solihull. Can't be arsed to travel to St Albans for a £200 a man match especially when we both live in the Midlands!!!

Play the manchester match and i'll come and watch.

Will make sure I get it on then mate. Gotta make sure all money is posted before hand and discuss amounts etc.

Is there a quality venue in St Albans?

Apparently the Hurricane Room is a quality venue and every table is being reclothed soon.

[Simon Galloway]

It's changed hands a good few times.  Last time I was in there, it wasn't a quality venue.  I will try and check it out and lyk.

Yo, is it too late for me to get involved in this?

Might also be interested in a game if you do ever meet up with people, I'm not that good but I can run a couple of racks on a good day. Just to give me an idea of what sort of level ur at.. do you know ppl like Adam Shaw and Rich Wharton? If so how do you compare?

Hi mate, never too late to get involved with this. The higher the bankroll the more money that can be made if I win by both groups!

I'm happy to meet up for a friendly game with you whenever you like. Where do you live/play out of?

To compare my skill to another player can be dangerous, but I will tell you that in the run up to the money match the weekend, I finished 1-1 in sets against a player called Andy Barnett who's in GB9 Pro division along with Adam Shaw. He won 10-9 I won 10-4 with a 3 start. Pretty much didn't let him to the table!

I have taken a lot of sets off Ben Moore who is another class amateur act, has played pro before and is as good as Barney and Adam when his head is on it. As it was double or quits he eventually won the set he needed to to level the money out but again, play really well against him.

In a warm up money match against a player called Mark Lovell, I broke and ran 5 of my 21 racks where I had the break - a 25% break and run ratio which is higher than that of players on GB9 Challenge tour!

I am not of that ability all of the time, but I do possess a good quality game in general.

Got a match arranged for either next Thursday or Thursday after for £200 a man at Vegas Bar in Wakefield.

Playing a kid I should be beating most of the time (from various sources). Game is 9-ball, Race to 21, winner breaks, I am giving away a ball spot handicap. He is allowed to use the 7ball as if it is the 9ball, but he must call the pocket it goes into. So no 7ball off the break, he must nominate a pocket

Anybody close to leicester fancy a trip up to watch and sweat out the match?

I'm not quite understanding why you are spotting a guy that you've never played before Baz.

Obviously none of my business but just asking anyway.

I did wonder this myself.

Because I've been told of his level of play by people who have my interests at heart (friends in Yorkshire). He wanted me to start on -4 in race to 21 and I do not give head starts as a general rule. he said no start no game so I got some advice and call 7 spot was advised.

You see, the call 7 spot is actually a bit of a con because if he's not good enough to run to 7 ball anyway (which he isn't) then he won't get to win games early. And while I'm in control of the table it doesn't matter what spot you have.

He's a guy trying to look good getting into the action, but all he is to my standard is a fish.

[GreekStein]

That answer is good enough for me.
