(Spank ME). hahaaaaa! The event is an
malaysia is awarded. Held at Spinky's pool club itself, myself, brother and friend aimed to take the title of champion!
. Hence, basically you're paying around 60 ringgit minimum by the end of group stages. (pretty gay I know) :P
Here's what happened on
Friday 30th July, it was very interesting.
After waiting around 1 and a half hours before having my first game, I played the owner's brother (so i heard), and he said i was cheating because i use a snooker cue. With that I wasn't allowed to continue the tournament with my cue and had to use a pool cue. I was rather annoyed seeing World Players like my favorite: Steve Davis; uses a snooker cue in world class tournaments without arguments. Think rationally, in any event, using a snooker cue is more of a disadvantage than a pool cue!
Thank God, I won the match with a 2-0.
The next match I won 2-0 as well. With those two wins I had qualified through the group stages already. However, the organizer still made me play the 3rd player because it benefits him. As in, he gets money for every 2 racks remember?
This game i lost 2-0. It was very upsetting for me not because of the loss. It's because of what happened. The man I was playing had his wife and small little girl watching. After a few practice strokes i realized i could've easily taken him down. But i didn't want to you know... bully him in front of his family. So i let him win the first rack.
In the 2nd game i began to play a little seriously, and missed a shot. He then made a foul while bridging over another ball; moving another ball by accident with his cue. Guess what? He cheated and didn't give the foul; also the referee did not see it. Due to that, no foul and he finished the table. This made me really pissed because I gave him chance so as to not lose face in front of his family, on the other hand he cheated right in front of them. Grrr...
Ah well... I still made it through. The following day, Saturday 31st July, I lost to Alvin Chin 5-1. Yeah i know, a major trashing. I was happy because I finally found a real good opponent (Malaysian Snooker Player & owner of Sportsville). Although, I was disappointed because i lost 2 racks by me entering the white ball, 2 racks because the 8 ball got stuck, and only 1 rack he "sau kiu".
All in all, I guess I need to train up for nationals coming soon. But i still blame it on the cue problem. I'm currently in a dilemma which cue to use. Trying out with the pool cue for now. We'll see. Pray i play really well! :P
