On a side (pocket) note, where the fuck is Kickle?

You want kickle and some fundamental trash talk? 
 

Doesn't really matter at this point 😛
 

Yeesh, I'm part of the world first Side Pocket erotic fanfiction? What horrors await poor Felix the Cat?

...

Bwahaha!

Simple, but it works!

I know it sounds stupid, but you just receive a compliment of the highest sort possible around here.

Something tells me Felix the Cat won't have the same treatment Snoopy has benefited (he's too much of a pussy anyway).

Lunar Pool was the only sports game where I made top 8 last year. Side Pocket is the only sports game I make top 8 this year.

We should do a billiards game every year so I can make top 8 in sports at least once.

GOOD BYE

REGRET YOUR
LOST CHANCE.

 

Score updated. It's not as good of a score as I was hoping to get, but it will do!

I believe that puts you at 7th and that bumps skinny out of the top 8. You could make first tier in this year's tournament.
 

Never change, my friend, never change.   
 

Damn right I am!  

In case anyone cares, here's the basic outline of how to win for lazy people (max speed unless otherwise noted):

City:  max follow, straight to break.. Green should go in and then get the other 5 colors in order
State: max follow, 1 tick down from straight to break. Slight right and two follow, medium-low speed to get the 1 in and well placed for the 2. Then scramble to get the rest in.
          Challenge shot: Straight, no follow.
USA: No follow, straight to break. Then hit the 1 ball low-medium power so that it banks and moves the 3 ball over towards the right of the table (but not so hard that it goes in). If all goes well, you can get the 1 in on a bank shot and then 1-6 in succession. Use a few shots to "nudge" the desired ball closer to a pocket if need be. Getting 1-6 in a row gets you to > 5100
        Challenge shot: The trickiest one. Max draw, aim for the 2, one tick above where it goes into the pocket without the aiming line showing a bank. So find where the line goes straight into the bottom left pocket and then tick up until it shows a slight bank. Hit at max speed or you're fscked.
World: Aim right for the middle diamond on the rail between the bottom center and bottom left pocket. Max speed, center. The 1 should go in in an impressive manner. Then do a bank shot with no follow aiming for the middle of the 5 ball, with power right below the M in the max. If you give 'er the old reach-around just right, you'll hit the 2 ball in and sometimes the 3 ball also. Do another multiple bank shot to get the 3 in the bottom center pocket. If you get those 3 consecutively, you only need to pair 2 of the 3 remaining balls to break 7100 (obviously you need to get 1-6 in order).
       Final trick shot: Two ways to do it. Either no follow and a tick down from the bottom of the 1 ball or (cooler way)  max follow, aim straight, then 1 tick up, and blast away.

Non-level trick shots:
First one with the glasses when you're shooting to the right: Just aim straight, no follow, max speed.
Second one: Again, need a reacharound aiming towards the center of the right rail, no follow, max speed.
Third: 1 tick of follow, aim straight.
Fourth: ? If there is one, I never encountered it.
 

I will post my video this weekend covering all the tables schemes and the tricky shots.
Won't bother with the extra shots, though.
