AT LEAST the very first game you play there with everyone playing at the same time is some kind of an eye opener to 1st timers....how long it takes you to adjust to that is going to be what effects u is all i was saying Lester.

Most people who talk about 70%, 80%, 90% usually only remember the good games and conveniently forget about the bad ones. In the last 3 games of a tournament last week, Larry and I shot 90%, 100%, 50% and lost the last one. In the end it didn't matter that we had 2 awesome games if you can't keep it up.

Touche. I do this all the time. Was keeping track of each game last night until a trbl one where I only shot like 71%. I gave up after that.

For sure I would agree. I'm sure this year it won't mean a damn thing, because we've been there, we've played under some really high pressure situations. But the first time, yea it definitely was a different atmosphere. And your playing for 50grand. It's in your head a little bit the first time you go out there. And I gotta start keeping track of shooting percentages apparently lol. But I agree with what people are saying, as prusch and others pointed out you have to stay consistent. One of the satteys we played in I missed 2 or 3 shots every game that's it. And my partner was doing the same. But then it came to that final game and my partner shit the bed cough made 0 or 1 shot can't remember lol. Case in point we lost that game because just that once we lost the consistency.
