Sometimes you just have to take a bit of time out. Not because things are difficult or anything, but just because you need to do something a bit different. My husband had been a semi-professional pool player for years - way before I had ever met him - and I guess because he was really good now, he just wasn't at all interested in showing me how to play. In fact it was his long-term pool partner who had taught me my first (and indeed until I discovered the flash game 3D pool) and only move in pool. Well, now that I was able to play on line, without even having to wait a moment to download the game (that's the beauty of flash games), I felt like I was actually managing to develop a skill in the game.
Within seconds of clicking on 3D pool, you can see your pool stick and aim it against the white ball (you can tell by my lingo that I know nothing of this game at all, right?). You get a small round diagram at the top of the board to show you how your pool stick is lined up, to help you organize your move. I have to tell you, it took me a while to get anywhere at all in this game initially, but once I did, I found that I was developing a skill that I had never managed to achieve when I played the game off line. And then when I next went to our pool table downstairs, my husband was most impressed that I was able to actually get somewhere in a real live game too! It will indeed take me some time to get to any kind of level so as to play the game against him, but I sure am a whole lot better than I was a few months ago! 3D pool is a great way of wasting time in a positive way.
