gd moveOriginally posted by mochou:if one person keep doing the cough trick to you, then you counter him with faking, just like basketball/soccer, do fake action. Act as if you want to shoot, but last minute pull back, let him cough, then shoot again, see he cough again anot. Fake until he cough his lung out.

wa imagine playing with your friends, and no one is suppose to talk or do anything except watch and play. BORING TO TEH MAX !!!!!!! even when u play also so serious ah,u lose all the fun already
-
pool / snooker is a mental sport...
meaning only u yrself can affect yr own performance..
fate is in yr own hands and not at others..
if u really want to play seriously then u can only blame yrself for letting outside interference affect u...
if u 100% concentrate then u wont notice anything that other pple do.. -
cough ok wat...wait till u ganna poke in the arse when taking shots..
-
My favourite trick is praise my opponent when they have taken a good shot...Lol...Of coz when playing with frens..
It lightens up the atmosphere....And it really works...singaporean bueh sai por...
-
Come on... get a life. They are just playing. You, on the other hand, is just being an ass.
-
what to do? |an|an suck thumb lo.
-
i bend down can distract already....no need make noise one
-
pls dont do that.
these few days aready raining nonstop
u bend down some more
the whole snooker room will be flooded with saliva -
i think if u are good, nothing can distract uOriginally posted by forumer84:When u r playing wif ur frens,have they ever purposely cough or make some funny noise juz when u strike the cue ball to distract u so dat u miss the pot?wat is ur reaction towards such action?
my belief is dat they r afraid u might "one cue" and hv no chance to pot.But by doing tis, it shows the lvl of sportingness they hv. Oso spoils the game totally. The worst part is they assume the person whose potting does not noe dat tis 'cheat' tactic can be a distraction.Will u tell them not to cough juz when u r potting? But then, some will juz say the timing is a coincidence, then u cant do much abt it oso.Then when its ur turn to pot again, muz "watch out/careful" of these distractions and u cant focus fully on potting. Those who play billiards noe dat 100% concentration is needed when aiming..noe wat i mean..
Opinions anyone? -
it's juz a game.. why take it so serious? Moreover it's playing with friends..
if u hate it when they do it to you.. try wearing ear plugs.. u wouldn't hear them cough or make any funny noise anymore..

Obviously, skeujin is guilty of something since he sounds so defensive. No nid come here flame pple juz to increase ur posts.
i play pool/snooker for leisure wif my frens and we do funny things or say things like "miss,miss" or "jia zui". its fine wif me as its all in the name of fun. Also its ok if they make noise throughout the game as everyone will hv become used to it.
i guess the cough/clear throat part occurs only when im playing wif a fren whose more or less my standard(i din say my pool is very gd,hv to clarify this in case some idiot says im boasting my skill) and i can sense dat he does not wan to lose. We r close frens and i don mind losing to him. I treat it as a friendly match but hes the one whose taking it seriously by making these funny noises juz b4 the cue strike the ball to make me miss.i mean,its abt fun and oso fairness too mah.
btw im more of a snooker/no.ball player and its always silence is golden (more so for no.ball cos theres $). No need explain further. Those who play noe wat i mean.
PS:btw skeujin, im not interested in pool outings organized by you. -

fun wad

sometimes its alright to do that to your frens, and they does it vice versa, but just dont go overboard i guess. Usually i would play with those easy-going ones, not those who are a little skilful and are afraid to lose so they make those noises and stuff like that, you know what i'm saying
-
ok, this is one very good topic.. well jus maintain calm, steady, smile and do ur best shot, and act as if u dunno they are distracting if u play with others,
IF play with ur frens, jus tell hem frankly or directly in a casual manner.. like "dun like that leh, go see doctor la.. na bei"...... i dunno,something like that...
well this sucks when u play with some1 expecially if u play punch.
@789 omg.. that's a +1 joke i hope it's not true u.u
