Mastered!

Went for snooker zone's competition yesterday. Was almost kicked out of the competition for being late. So actually it was kinda my fault. But in the end after lotsa begging and quarelling I got to play. After all, I already paid for my entry fee.

Was quite disappointed to find that the prize money was reduced due to there being not enough players. There was also going to be no trophy.

But anyway I knew I was not on form cause haven't been training. So i was just there to try my luck.

First opponent was a china/taiwanese guy who didn't play very well. Lost the first two racks cause haven't warmed up yet. But after I was in the mood I beat him 5 racks in a row to win 5-2.

Second opponent was one of hitlary's friends. Experienced but not skilled. It was a close fight though, although I truly think he got a bit lucky with the one-nine combination at the 8th rack. Anyway we were hill-hill and he scratched on the last four balls. So i took ball in hand and cleared him. Was damm nervous. In the end won him 5-4.

Third opponent was the hitlary himself. This one I was really scared of since he's a really good and experienced old player and had like 3-4 guys cheering for him. I didn't really expect to win. However, he was on terrible form and I played a solid game. Banked three eights in a row and got superb placing on the nine to beat him 5-2. I was really happy. Going into finals now.

Final match was against Roy Gan who was the champion of the previous two competitions. Got thrashed spectacularly 5-0 LOL. Actually I just lost my nerves and played horribly against this guy cause he's just fucking good. At 4-0 i thought to just let loose and play relaxly but he broke and run out the last frame. Didn't even have a chance to shoot. This guy is really of a different class.

So in the end I got second. Not bad for a first timer at snooker zone. Prize money was a pathetic $60. supposed to be $80 but not enough players. Oh well $60 in four hours means $15 dollars an hour. Not bad i guess.
