Hi Bette and y'all,

Wanna know what the really funny thing is ?????

The reason people do not want to play me is not that they know they will loose or I will beat them. Because I don't beat everyone all of the time. It's that they absolutely know that ...

I only let them beat me. They know that I can beat them anytime I want too.

Isn't that funny! They know they can't beat me because if they do, it will be because I let them. They are that certain. So certain that there is not even the slightest possibility of beating me, no matter how good or lucky they are. (yes, I have been told this by others)

What a mystique! Even though they beat me they still wonder if they really did or did I let them win. They will never know if they really beat me or not.

Paul

As much as most of us are afraid of uncertainty, when it could not be found in a game, game becomes senseless. In a case like that adrenalin rush is a result of uncertainty, otherwise this is a routine and no excitement.

I don't know how much this influenced me. I'd say not much however wanting to know what it is about me that gave others the idea that I was a pool shark (many have asked if I am or just plain stated that I am), the next time that this happened, I just plain asked, "How come you called me that?". I instantly got an answer, how about that!

Here's what that person said. "you don't get serious and good at it until it gets to the end." Subsequently, I observed myself from a distance and found that scenario of my game play to be true.
