Where I am At in Pool

Now this isn't a plea for help or a whining session. I just thought I'd let people who seem concerned where I think I stand in the pool world around here.

I would say I'm a B+ player in this area at 8ball on a bar table. Change any of that and my level changes. I can play with most of the big boys with a chance to win except the biggest boys, of which around here there are quite a few.

As a B+ player I am quite inconsistent. This is what Phil Cappelle says that level is all about. I can be A- or A even at times and barely a C+ at other times, sometimes in the same match. My strength is solving clusters and straight pool type racks, although I have never played the game really. That is why I'm really good at Fargo or Bowliards. I was averaging 220 in Bowliards as a C player before I'd even run 1 rack of nineball. My longer game(longs shots and long rolling shape) is my weak point. Thus I'm not so good at 9 ball.

Staying focused and consistent and disciplined is my biggest problem now. Mental stuff. This is why I post most about these things and have recieved much good advice.

Hope that helps.
