I just picked up the game a couple years ago and usually bring it home in the 90's from the whites. Can't play nearly as much as I would like to but that seems to be the case with anyone. I find personally that I usually play a little better if i have a couple burns along the way, lets say a pipe in the bag and a hit every couple holes.. Anyone else play like this and find similar results? I drink pretty tough as well and play with a few guys that can drink and shoot but it gets me all out of whack (like a 6 pack is worth a dozen strokes). I find this to be strange because I shoot in a pool league and need a few beers to relax before I can even think about a run on the table. I shoot 8 ball modified TAP rules (call all pockets banks kisses etc..)
