We Got ACTION! Money Match 9 Ball

[@jamesdavis8731]

Josh, put those links in every video description. This is something I do as a living and there is nothing wrong with putting affiliate links in the description of every video. It's a way to soft sell (or you could be more aggressive) products that you use and as you know it doesn't cost the purchaser a penny extra - just helps YOUR channel. None of your subscribers should have an issue with this. Also, your safety play was pretty damn solid in this match. Your whole game actually. Seems like you might be working more on your stroke. Good match.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thanks, James! I have been practicing my stroke a lot! Feels like it's helping

[@AdamMarr]

@@Amateur_Pool I agree, thats often how affiliate links work anyway, they rarely provide a discount (outside of the common first time buyer thing), and like he said, is a way to show support on things people might be buying anyway.

These videos are fun to watch because they're light-hearted and show that pool should be fun not super stressful. I would sign up for the first inaugural Josh Powell pool tournament.

[@Amateur_Pool]

That would be awesome! I appreciate you watching

[@justtowatch111]

As far as podcast type stuff goes, it's not my thing BUT having said that you are a funny guy and you make me laugh watching your videos so I can imagine they could well be entertaining. If you want to do them man then do them and time will tell. The thing that counts is that you enjoyed doing them!

[@Amateur_Pool]

I might try it in the near future

[@natemead]

Great pool, and you never lose that smile. That’s why I love this guy, he’s just doing what he loves.

[@Amateur_Pool]

That's the truth

[@christabobst4852]

Pool themed podcast sounds great 👍

[@Amateur_Pool]

I think so too! But, do it while we watch a match. Part commentary on the match, part talking about whatever! Thanks, Christa!

I hope u get my English humor. When most malcontents on KZbin start speaking they removed all doubt. But I find myself still listening to you. You shoot like my Boi Shane.

[@danp6101]

Hey Josh nice Match. I mentioned in another comment about trying a shot that helps cutting into a blind pocket. That One ball shot that you had almost a 90 Degree cut on Into the Corner. Time was at 30:00 That basically is the shot that mention for you to practice. Meaning the same angle.

[@jesseellis946]

Im new to pool. How do you find places to gamble at? Is it as simple as just going to pool halls and asking who wants to gamble?

[@Amateur_Pool]

it can be that simple but, if you ask people that you don't know, you're going to end up playing the best player in the room.

[@ezeman138]

Josh what’s your fargo rating if you have one?

[@Amateur_Pool]

I haven't recorded any consistent matches since I played BCA, before covid. So, I have a rating but, it's not accurate (540 ish)

[@toddstefanski4994]

My jungle love , ohhheee ohhee ohhh! Haha great movie. Great match , fun commentary. And I think having a guest commentate these matches would be cool also. You’re a humble dude and I really enjoy these videos . I don’t generally comment on KZbin but keep doing your thing. We’re all here for it !

[@cyclinfool]

Hey man. Im enjoying the commentary. I like that youre explaining what action youre putting on the ball. So im curious, whats your opinion of the MVP tournament? I just finished my first apa league session and im gonna end up being 1st or 2nd in mvp. My team is telling me I shouldnt do it. Thanks.

[@Amateur_Pool]

It's the same as playing a qualifier, only its free. I won my mvp tournament in 2022, which is how i ended up going to Regionals/ Vegas that year

[@cyclinfool]

@@Amateur_Pool well one guy warned against it because if you win you automatically rank up and if you're not really playing at that skill level you'll have a hard time in the next session. I recently ranked up to a 3. Theres no way I'm playing at a 4 skill level.

[@Amateur_Pool]

@cyclinfool i played it as a SL6. I didn't move up but, that doesn't mean that you wouldn't though

[@chrisknowles64]

Great video as usual, Josh! I just got that Justa Bridge - it is really an awesome tool. The elevated V is so freaking stable, I'll never use a regular bridge again. And I hear ya on the IRS ... it's like having to give weight to a better opponent that somebody forces you to play ... or pay, that is 😂😂 Ps. Stop apologizing, dude! It doesn't matter how you "sound," just roll with it and keep being you. ✌️

[@Amateur_Pool]

never tried a justa bridge. I'll check it out! Appreciate the support, my man!

[@nickg9021]

Yes,I have had my Justa Bridge more than 5 years now and it is SO useful in odd situations. Like bridging close to a rail shooting down the rail , you can tuck the lower leg under the nose of the cushion and the upper leg is just where you need it. Most folks love it or hate it , but the ones who hate it are the ones who will NOT put the stick on the table . They insist on holding it in the air and this bridge will "adjust" every time their hand twists . If you put it down and hold it down , it is the best thing since sliced bread. I smile every time someone gets out an extension and bridges 20 inches from the cueball ... and they are surprised when they miss the shot or get out of line. God forbid they learn to use that "sissy stick"'.🤣😂🤣😂

[@Amateur_Pool]

@@nickg9021 🤣

[@Amateur_Pool]

LOL - I would have but, I didn't get to finish, lmao

[@JohnBowl14690]

The APA is a good system, though not perfect by any means. But it's dynamic so sandbagger will eventually be moved up. Let's face it, 90% of people that play are below a 5 rating. With no handicapping, say good bye to 90% of the females and 80% of the men who say, "why would I want to play in a tournament? I'm only going to lose". Remember, there is only one winner in an open tournament. The only enjoyment is the one winner. And you can bet, he thinks no handicap is the best system. Josh Filler enters the room and nods!

[@Amateur_Pool]

Well said.. a handicap system works for league play. My whole point is that people should want to get better, rather than rely on their handicap

[@JohnBowl14690]

[@JD-fx1np]

Whether or not your state income tax refund is taxable on your federal income tax return depends on whether you took an itemized deduction for the tax that was later refunded. You pay state taxes in MI? Little Timmy definitely exists - he's a tax deduction! By the way, our taxes do pay for a lot of good things - the roads, police, medicare, veterans benefits, education, social security...but of course, no one likes a govt that's wasteful, or giving our money away for unnecessary bullshit subsidies for greedy corporations, 2,000 dollar ashtrays for the pentagon or military contractors - so VOTE. Locally and federally. Local elections have impact. Get out and vote then. When Little Timmy turns 18, he needs to vote too, study civics, maybe try to fix the system. And vote for those (albeit, few) politicians that actually do try to say, get the pentagon audited and to account for waste. Not for nothing, but I'm pretty sure not one republican ever went after the banks or the pentagon for fraud or waste.

[@Amateur_Pool]

I def. vote... It seems futile because, I feel like almost ALL of them are either already corrupt, or will become corrupt shortly after they are in office.
