My wife used to do that. Never understood why.

Um, Ah, Naah. too easy of a target!

Reminded me of this tale though. An old man totters into a cat house on his cane. Nothing on the wall over twenty-five and none were in a hurry to accommodate this old fellow but finally he came to terms with one. Reaches in his pocket and carefully pulls out some nose plugs. Then he reached in and pulled out a pair of ear plugs.

The gal is a little uneasy now. "What is all of that for?"

"If there are two things I can't stand it is the smell of burning rubber and the sound of a young girl screaming!"

If you think you can shark me you’re wrong.
I’ve gambled with blasting music, drunk people banging into me, women popping out their breasts at the pocket i’m shooting and many other distractions.

If you shark me it shows you are desperate and have to pull moves which I take as a mental advantage.
You’re getting a lesson

After playing for so long my tolerance level for assholes has reached its limit.
If you shark me I am calling you out on it and everyone in the area will hear it loud and clear.
I guarantee you won’t like what comes out of my mouth and wouldn’t phase me in the least. I would embarrass you to death.

I would keep you in the chair fuming and embarrassed beating the crap out of you .
If you unscrew you still have to pay up.
Insecure pieces of $hit.

I’ve said it 1000 times. I love pool but can’t stand many pool players.
I prefer 3 cushion billiards, none of this bullcrap goes on. If it does it’s very few and far between. I don’t recall ever having to deal with idiots.

Black Friday coming up

What sharks is the unexpected. I've seen serious games with two or three people leaning on the table. That's what everyone did there. If I get up from the audience and lean on your table to see the shot better, I imagine it will bother you.

There are "virtual" sharks. Concede some easy nine balls -- and then when one is slightly tougher, get up as if you are going to concede and sit back down.

In McGoorty, Danny tells of the virtual shark an old Alfredo de Oro did to Cochran:


And here is some more standard sharking from Alfredo:

Bump for some good Quality items

Where I shoot at Music is playing, people are walking around everywhere. The counter is on one side of the tables so if u need anything u have to walk by while people are shooting. No one stops or considers someone may be shooting a shot for 5K. And the players don’t complain. Everyone just plays. I remember feeling awkward when I first started going there about walking by when someone was shooting a money game. Everyone there was like if you need to go to the counter for any reason just go it doesn’t matter. So if all the commotion and movement doesn’t bother these guys someone taking off a glove or unscrewing a cue shouldn’t bother u. Is it unsportsmanlike and classless? Yes. But should it affect u at the table ?? No.
