Gunfighters and Pool Players

"I look at it like this ...

The gunfighter with the most bullets doesn't always win the gunfight. Neither does the gunfighter with the prettiest/most expensive gun in his holster.The gunfighter that wins is usually the gunfighter with the combination of the calmest nerves - stone cold killer instinct - the fastest trigger finger - and the deadliest aim. They are quick, confident, deadly, and accurate to a fault. When the $hit goes down, it doesn't matter how much they have or how pretty and expensive their gun is. If they're not the absolute best when and where it counts the most - they won't survive out there.

The pool player with the biggest mouth doesn't always get the cash. Neither does the pool player with the prettiest/most expensive cue in their case.The player that wins is usually the player with the combination of the calmest nerves - stone cold killer instinct, the ability to adapt quickly - and the deadliest aim. They are quick, confident, deadly, and accurate to a fault. When the $hit goes down, it doesn't matter how much they have -or- how pretty and expensive their cue is. If they're not the absolute best when and where it counts the most - they won't survive out there." ~ Blackjack's Random Thoughts, 02-08-2010.
