[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 187632, member: 4106"] I used to think that too. Then I started getting better and it became clear that getting those kinds of scores typically required a lot of patience and the willingness to play multi-hour games, sometimes pausing overnight (more than once). You get to a point with most tables where the obvious way to play and get high scores suddenly becomes clear, it's just having the patience and concentration to repeat the same shot over and over again for hours on end that is the difference maker. FWIW most of my Top 20 scores are on tables with limited EBs. That levels the playfield as far as I'm concerned. My PC is used by my daughter during the day when I'm at work, so I just can't keep a game paused until the next evening - so games where I can still get a competitive score in 30 minutes to an hour of play are my go-to games for getting high scores. I'm nowhere near the Top 3, or even Top 10, and realistically, I don't think I ever will be. But for the most part, there is nothing bogus or fishy about these scores once you realize how they're done. [/QUOTE]
