So a friend of mine in champaign IL got a game with a guy. The guy doesnt play all that well but he plays. He asked for some weight from the start but my buddy had never seen him before so he thought, well Ill play him even and see how I do as its rather unwise to give weight to total strangters. Nothin real expensive just some 50/set. So they get done playin and the guy wont pay. He says hes waitin for his buddy to come back with some money. That takes too long, so another guy offers to help him find an atm, well dudes card doesnt seem to work in any of them....somethin smells fishy. They get back, guy goes to restroom and sneaks out the back door. This whole time the guy is in a wheelchair, but ends up walkin out the back door. The best part is that this guy has been doin this for quite some time. My roommate got stiffed by him about 10 years ago, a friend at Rockford Billiard cafe got stiffed by him, and when sarah rousey was back in town and heard about it, she had aslo been stiffed by him. Anyone else recognize this story? Guy in wheelchair, plays about russ' speed(world class c-player) stiffs you and walks out? (hey longhair, if yer on correct any of my mistakes, I got refreshed on the story from joe yesterday buts its a little fuzzy)
Gettin stiffed

Man, if somebody went to lengths so far as pretending to be a paraplegic just to stiff me -- I'd let him slide with the stiff for his creativity.
P.S; what is your friend doing playing a guy in a wheel chair? I'm not saying that it's wrong, but it's kinda like getting into a fight with a girl... If you win - you just beat up a girl... if you lose... you just got beat up by a girl.

Sez the guy who has to go on the internet to get info on a player's speed before he will play cheap One Pocket.
Here's a tip, little man. Before you go insulting players you've never met, grow a heart. Quit asking how people play, and then complaining how your buddy gets knocked.
Just wondering about the pool scene in your area. You gotta ask for info to play someone cheap, when you play all the time, and your friends get stiffed by a stranger because they don't have sense to post up? WTF?
IMHO, if your friend played a stranger (in a wheelchair, no less! This SCREAMS hustle/scam!) and didn't get them to post up, and then was silly enough to let him get out of the room, can he really complain?
LOL.

Thats a good way to get Shag-fooed in the face
U got stiffed for what 100-150 by a guy in a wheeeeelchair? Your own fault, at least you have a story to tell people that is worth about $50. I was certain some drunk guys were going to stiff me, I beat them out of $600 in about 30 min playing a hundred a game on a nine footer...........they paid me

It's Ok, So am I. I'll meet You there, unless we play our way into HeavenYokel said:
Some of you guys just dont pay attention do you. Russ I wasnt asking a players speed just to play cheap one-pocket. I woulda played him any way. I asked about him about a week after he left. It wasnt the fact the guy got knocked it was who he got knocked by. Im not asking for sympathy or "put the money on the light crap". I know better than to play a total stranger without showing any money. The whole point of this thread has obviously been lost so screw it.

Are you twelve? What the hell is wrong with your sense of humor that you can't even tell a joke WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU IT'S A JOKE IN THE POST.
People are joking around about the post because obviously no one is familiar with the person and it was a funny situation. It might not be funny for you, but look at it from our view...
Hey ShagFu I know who you're talking about...I was there that night Joe played him, Joe had just gotten done beating me at the 8-ball tourney and was getting ready to play the "cripple". My buddy who came out with me to the tourney also just got done playing cheap $10 sets with the cripple and broke even. Longhair was asking me if I knew anyone in the chicago area who looked like the cripple but I didn't. I know Longhair would know more about the story because I left even before Joe and him played. I actually did ask him a couple days later what went down that night but Longhair didn't tell me about the drama you just related. I'm sorry to hear Joe got stiffed. At least it wasn't for more money. And you know, that wheelchair might be worth something!
Thanks raemondo, I wasnt actually there either but I just had to see if anyone else knew the guy. I know off hand about 5 or 6 people who have been stiffed by this same guy. I guess he has a buddy that drives him around in a van. The guy can walk but maybe not well enough to stand all the time, but he doesnt *need* a chair. If you want the colorul story ask joe himself about it, its way better out of his mouth than it is out of longhairs, maybe less facts but definately funnier.
