Pool hall fights

Most of our fights are over Baseball strategy, Obama's budget policies, taxes, and how no one will adjust in one pocket.

When ever there was a rukus at the poolhall it was always my policy to "cut and shoot". Cut for the corners and shoot for home. :)

If everyone would follow that policy their would be alot less trouble, but unfortunately alot of people want to stick around and watch, which normally just makes the people involved want to show out
 
I was only involved in one and that was a long time ago at a hall called
The Velvet Rail in Denver. It spilled into the street right away and there was no real damage to the room or myself. That is not a lot considering the amount of time I have spent playing in pool rooms in the 70's and 80's.
 
i saw some dandys back in the coke days, I awalys stayed out of harms way, hell I seen the guns come out 2 times(you never saw someone jump under a box so fast in your life). No shots fired.


I almost got lynched by about 6-8-10 too many to count, guys one night the House man and Frank my snooker customer saved my ass from the hospital at least. I beat about all the guys in the lynching party and took one guys girl home(honest to God I slept on the couch, never touched her and didnt know I just beat her boyfriend out of his truck payment $550, it got re-po'ed). So you can see why they were fixin to fix my ass, I got out whole. About 6-8-10 guys just rushed me, I threw my cue on the snooker table and grabbed the balls-they stopped dead in their trax, someone told me a couple months before if your ever introuble in a pool room grab the balls. It worked, they stopped dead. But it was a 12' table and they started commming around both sides a bit slower, but the the rush was off. By then Frank and the house man had me covered, I let Frank keep what I was up $60, we played $20/game snooker-nice guy, man I didnt sleep until noon the next day i had so much adrenalin. The thing is they all asked me to play that 2 weeks I robbed them all. I didnt book a single loser. It might have been $1400 total. They were just dumb in that room(I wont say where). awalys remember if your not packing a gun grab balls-it really does work.

It can get a bit harry when your winning, I been in other spots but not like the one above, however I have never been punched or threw a punch in a pool room, but never say never-I'll say yet and hope its never. One short guy almost got a dose this year of me. but I let his insiginificant ass slide.

thats horrile, i dont get it. sorry abut ur friend

I beat a guy a game in bar for $100, just a game of 8 ball, iwhen it was my turn i flipped a c-note next to the balls i was racking, next thing i notice is a second c-note laying there, i hadnt hit a ball in 6 months or longer maybe 18 months my mom had just died in 05 this was-not a single ball, it could have been a year and a half. Maybe 2 years, the longest i ever went in 30 years without touching a cue.

So I push the balls around the table to give my customer a good show. Letting him feel he is in the game. finally I came 3 rails with lots of spin to get to the other end of the box(bad plan, he knew right there he was f*cked), I should have never played that shot, it showed way too much speed, it wasnt a natural angle, so it was a tell I knew what I was doing(the comments from his friends didnt help) it wasnt necessary either, I just hadnt hit a ball in so long I was just seeing what I had left in me, it was still in me. I could have won and he never would have seen any speed but no, I had to see if I could still move the rock.Only play good enough to win. in tough games that shot comes up often and i'll use it, but it was stupid on a barbox that night. I broke the rule "only play good enough to win". It was on me


I could tell this guy was 5'7" and could have drilled my streiod loaded ass into the floor, I wanted none of him(ever), my hands are awalys wet, this made them sticky wet, I did miss the 8 not on purpose, I missed it(jawed it), but he had no out and the 8 rock is hanging in the jaws. I won. I told the security guard Justin to give the guy back his $100 right then, he stared me down, "Justin give him both bills", that didnt work either-he is still deciding how bad he wants to hurt me, I had no chance in a fight with this cat, sometimes ya just know. he walked away. "Justin thank bro its all yours". Justin is doing a bit of time for something at the moment, stolen property I think he calls once in a while. He saved my ass that night. had he not been sitting there holding the stake, I was done.

That was the first time I beat someone out of one game that went on tilt on me. It just aint worth it, there was a time I had no choice-its still better than working.:grin-square:

I've seen some good fights at pool halls. Pool balls do make a great weapon. Most interesting night was the time the police came in looking for these two out of town folks. One was a girl who left her bag under a table when she bailed out the front door. The bag had a fully loaded mac-10 in it, one in the chamber, and a bunch of spare clips.

Guns were normal, but rarely saw assault weapons.
 
there is a guy down here in south florida named rodney. Hes a roofer by trade. About 5-7 and 300+. Ears that go straight down into traps. Use to be an all state wrestler and is a gifted natural athlete. Plays jamup pool and even better at fighting. Anyways, Rodney has a daughter who was a national level softball player and he use to take her to tournaments around the country. At night, Rodney would go to the pool rooms and get matched up.

So he is at this pool room and he is playing for a decent amt of money. Unfriendly rooms dont really faze Rodney and this room starts getting hostile. At one point the backer of his opponent says F*Ck this guy hes not getting paid! Rodney sidles over to his opponent and grabs ahold of him and says....Oh im getting paid alright or we can just go ahead and fight for the money right now! All of you! Then he grabs his opponent even harder and says to him... And when the sh*t gets started, you and me are going to be in the bottom of the pile...and im going to gouge out your eye!" <turning to the hostile crowd> Well, whats it going to be?

Rodney got paid.
