Halfway to Vegas!
I wish I could say this was for the WA Super Affiliate Conference 2019, no doubt one day in the not too distant future. Yes, I DO definitely see that happening in 2020.
But for now, here’s the next best thing.
A Big Win Last Night
Last night we defeated “Rack ‘n Rollers” 8-3 in the 2nd Round Playoff match to capture the South Division 8-Ball title.
The title was "sealed" when our SL 3 player Dionisios "Denis" Kavvadias made an incredibly difficult "clutch " full table kick shot to sink the 8-Ball in the far right corner pocket when he was "snookered" behind his opponent's ball.
Here's how this materialized on the final shot of the match.
Oh No! We are "snookered"....Not Good!
Denis is going to attempt an AMAZING shot for the win.....
The suspense is killing me. I cannot bear to watch!!
It hits the far long rail....
Still rolling.....
Check out the look of abject dejection (background) by the opponent captain's "sideways" body language as he KNOWS the 8-Ball is about to sink down.....
And Denis sinks the incredible 8 for the WIN!!
Denis in pure elation gives a Classic Wave of the Hand!
HE smiles with his PROUD "Tsunami" captain standing beside him (left).
We all went Bonkers!!
(Sorry for the blurry images folks, they are screenshots taken from, ah...a bad impromptu phone video taken by one of our bench players!)
Only 2 more wins will carry my superb 8 -Ball billiards team to the APA World Pool Championships at the Westgate Resort and Casino in Las Vegas from August 13-18, 2019.
This qualifies our team "Kaju Tsunami" once again us to play in the 2019 NYC Open Team Championship for $25,000 cash and a slew of other prizes!
If we make it to Vegas, this will be our team's FIRST time going to represent NYC for Vegas's most coveted and high paying 8-Ball event; however it will be my overall 3rd Time going, the other two times in 2015 and 2016 being in different disciplines, 2015 in 9-Ball Tournament and 2016 in the Masters Tournament.
Never Give Up on Your Dreams
This is the 4th time we’ve qualified in 8-Ball but have failed to reach the Open Team Championship in Vegas during the previous 3 occasions.
As you may know, we have come up short time and time again, but once more, this will be a BIG ONE if we can get this!
Never give up your dreams Ladies and Gents, keep working on your passions and on your websites, whether it be for a special niche, in affiliate marketing, and even for team championships….
….and I am supremely confident you will eventually “fail your way to success.”
I will keep you Ladies and Gents updated in future months as our team pursues our grand quest!
Exciting times!
Wish us luck!
Cheers,
Kaju

It's amazing that you are wearing so many hats and do it very well, Kaju. Best luck to you and your team.
I like pool a lot too but I'm nowhere near the pro level. Many years ago I was watching the games on TV, and I still remembers many big names in the 9-ball game. Efren Reyes is one of my fav. on the table. :)
Hugh
OMG, Efren is da Man!! One of the greatest all-around pool players (in many different games) of all-time. And without a doubt, the BEST KICKER of all-time!!
Thanks for coming to hang out and offer encouragement on my post, Hugh. Appreciate it!:)
OHH, that would be the ULTIMATE Mergie. Thank You, friend. Holding thumbs and Big Toes, too!!

If you don't yet, I will happily return the favor when yours is up.:)
Dang Kaju...is there anything you’re not good at??? LOL!
Have a great trip to Vegas!
KyleAnn
Aww, Thanks Kyle Ann. I've been doing this passion for awhile.
However, I did not even play, MY TEAM pulled the win out, and I am proud of them:)
Last night, I could have played but decided to coach all my players instead:)
*Super encouraging blog post for everyone! ...
.. inspiration at its best ... how to overcome ...
... and of course, everything is all relative, as they say ...
... all the best, K. ... cheerio ... :)
Thanks Keishalina, I'm really happy that you and others are getting super encouragement out of this!! That means a lot to me, my friend:)
Cheerio K, From K!!
"And if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere, it's up to you, Kaju, Kaju..."

P.S.: It baffles me that the word "here" which denotes proximity of the speaker's immediate area, when we add a "t" to it, becomes an opposite word and the distant "there" So you can see all you need is to ask Vanna White for a letter "t" and you will make it to Vegas in a New York minute.
I need Vanna right now, Gabriel. Can you please give me a "T"!
One small letter creates a Big change, and I'm off!!
Can you just imagine Frank Sinatra singing "...Kaju, Kaju!"
Lol!!
Kaju,
I am on the phone with Vanna right now.
She was hard to reach because her assisted living facility has some strict rules on getting calls after 8 pm EST
So I told the operator I was Pat Sajack, which is not a lie, since I said it in the past tense, not current one.
Vanna agreed to give us a "T" and she will send it via USPS overnight service when the facility shuttle takes them to Sun City Center, Florida for early morning tai chi and yoga in the park because the beach is reeling from red tide still.
I have more faith in the NY Rangers hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup at MSG than getting that package...Just sayin'.
I also called a formerly known Francis Sinatra of New Jersey but I was told he was out there with Nixon and the Rat Pack.
Blessings!
Kaju,
I agree, and I let Matchbox20 speak on my behalf, as a former Nu Yawker:
All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be, me
I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

Omg, bait titles definitely work LOL. I couldn't resist to post this comment xD
Thanks Zarina, I appreciate it! This is not a bait title, as much as this is an inspirational post of encouragement for ALL in their businesses and life endeavors:)
What I meant is that I thought it was for WA Vegas conference (as in 50 referrals already achieved) :)
Thanks for sharing the encouragement!
Gotcha Zarina...that's the next goal!
Thanks and I hope you get there too:)
