Just got messaged that it was time for me to post something.
I've been busy with my non-pool life since the DCC ended, so my pool life isn't really worthy of an update right now. I usually end up taking a short break from pool for the weeks immediately after the DCC, so this is all normal.
I guess I could say that my nine-ball match went pretty much as I expected it to except that, along with my predicted break suckage, I also could not make more than a few balls in a row. I lost 7 to 3 I think, though it may have been 7 to 2.
I may get LASIK with my tax refund this year. That will hopefully eliminate at least one potential excuse for the next time I play poorly.
