US Open

Soooo, I am a little bit of a slacker...well not really, just had a lot going on lately.
After Indiana, I took a small break from pool, family issues left me not wanting to leave the house much.
Anyway-I watched the Satellite event that was held in Tennessee, wish I could have made it there, too bad I couldn't. I enjoyed the live stream and it was fun chatting with everyone!
I received my invite to the US Open this past Monday!!
Fortunately for me, it was in the stars for me to go! My pool hall, Corner Pocket Billiards sponsored my entry fee. So in two weeks, I will be in Oklahoma City playing!

Great Lakes Classic

As most of you already know....GLC was horrible for me!
I drew Kelly Fisher in my first round. Granted I had some chances, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get a rythm going! The 2 whopping games I won, I had to work hard for..lol.
A long rail bank on the 8 for a shot on the 9, and a break an run....woohoo....
In any case, my 2nd match was against Sueyen Rhee. We played a great match in the beginning. Going back and forth, tied at 5-5.......I made the most crucial errors in the match. I missed shape on a 5 in turn missing the kick safe.....then the next game I missed the 5 again.
Down 7-5, we exchanged plays on the 6....in the end she got a good roll...I kicked to make the 6, and it rattled out the pockets leaving her a shot and she made a great out.
Down 8-5, she broke makes a ball....and I think it was the 2 ball, kicked the 9 right in!
That's pool for you! :)
