I played in a 2-hour 8-ball match the other night. It was a 5-4 race (I had to win 5) and it went double-hill, but at least I won. It was the first match at least.

I no longer let a slow player affect my game, but I definitely don't like it contributing to a long night for the team. Typically we have to split tables at the end of the night for 8-ball so we can get out of there by midnight.

I mostly just want players to start matches on time. No going to the bathroom or one last cigarette or getting a drink. Have your stick out and ready to lag and get going. The 5-10 minutes from a match ending to a new match starting is what really eats up most of the time during the night.

Slow play doesn't rattle me per se, it just annoys me, and seems disrespectful when it can be avoided. That being said, I don't mind someone needing to use the bathroom, or get a drink. I mean, I don't want to play needing to take a piss, or anything like that. I agree on the cig though, and I'm a smoker, just wait until the match is over.
