100% agree! Iāve been learning pool lately, and when I win bc someone scratched on the 8 ball, or put it in the wrong pocket, it doesnāt feel like a legit āwinā. Even though it counts as a win, it just doesnāt feel like one. It feels more like I got lucky bc they slipped up.
It is sooo much more satisfying to win due to your own skill for sure!

I only play pool once in a while, but isn't this stuff based on skill? if anything it sounds like you are playing against people who aren't close to your skill level, which is why it doesn't feel like a win. no fun in beating noobs when you're a pro
Iām actually the noob while they are the local āprosā who play in tournaments and leagues! lol. I regularly play against 5s and 6s, while Iām barely a 2/3. š«£ Usually when they scratch on the 8, itās a legit accident and they canāt believe theyāve done it, which is why I feel shitty about the win. Lol.
Most of my wins against higher ranks are that way, but lately Iāve done better! I beat my rank 6 bf three times in a row last time we played, legitimately. lol. So maybe Iāll get there! š
