Tobby Sweet is in the house!For those of you that have never heard of Tobby,he is a real live legend!Many people not just some,will tell you he was the best money player ever!He used to own a room called Hollies here in N.Y. and man could he play!I was fortunate enough to be around too witness his play in his prime,although I was not even good enough to realize how good he was.But I can appreciate it today.It,s kinda funny he's here because I was just watching him play Wade Crane on an Accu-Stats video,that Mike the Fish lent me.But that's how pool players are you think or talk about them and they just appear from the smoke!Hopefully he came to play some,I would really like to see him in some action.Mike the Fish wants to see him play Joey King Kong,he thinks Joey is the favorite,but i don't see it that way.How can you bet against Tobby?I have not seen Joey in action so I cant really give you any information on how well he plays.But if they do play I know where my money goes!
As for me I still have a perfect record of not winning a single set!I don't even remember how many sets I played yesterday,but I know I didn't win a single one of them!My game has suffered some heavy set backs,and I'm pretty sure I know why!
I just have too much on my mind!With all this stuff running through my mind I don't see any way I'll be able to play my best!
I'm going to try to make it too the table today,Sunday is a good day at Diamond Jim's.I wish playing pool was like surfing for me,when I go surfing it washes away everything except what I'm doing at that moment.It's a therapy thing called "staying in the moment".As I'm writing this I realize that is maybe the key.If I could make pool wash away all my problems like surfing does I'd have the clear mind I need.You have to have a clear mind to play this game well! I need to find that place in my head where nothing matters except the shot!As usual that's easier said than done.When you go surfing as soon as you get wet nothing else in the world matters,the ocean just puts you in your place.How can I make pool do that?
