Something else I remember from the good old days - and that I rediscovered this weekend.
In a game where accuracy is most important, it's better to aim at something than not.
Even if what you're aiming at is wrong, you might learn something anyway.
This is all in stark contrast to back when I was young and played on bar tables. Back then aiming was a detriment, now that I'm blind and playing on tight-pocketed 9-foot tables it's pretty much a requirement.
That's for the accuracy games. For banks I still think aiming is a self-defeating activity.
