"TRAP"?...I gave you a "heads up" that there is "action" in the room. If I told you everybody in the room was an "egg"....THAT would be a trap. Anyhow in the bylaws and contract covering "House Men" it states and I quote (Section 3, sub-chapter 9 , paragraph 14)...."Any and all courtesy will be extended to a player and or players not originating from the specific pool room in question which include but are not limited to... 1) Arrange for equal level of competition between "road" and or "visiting" player. 2) Be willing (without malice and or prejudice) to hold any "stakes" and or "wagers" for said competition, relinquishing said "holdings" to the appropriate parties upon completion of said "competition". 3) Guarantee "safe passage" for said non-originating home room players to the vehicle of their choice with any monies and or property legally owned and or procured while on said "stop" and or "visit" to the "House Man's" place of business. This "safe passage" shall include (but is not limited to) legal tender (money), jewelery, pool cue (s), pool cue cases, cell phones (or other communicating devices) and girl friends and/or wives"........Just as a side note in addition to all THAT, I sometimes will buy the "visitor" a beer.
