I met this guy at the tournament in Marietta GA last weekend and to say he is quite the character may be the understatement of the year. I know some of you have some crazy stories about him. Let's hear em :thumbup:
Tell me your Deathball/Treemoney stories
- Thread starter DrOnePocket
- Start date
Now this is just a rumor, who knows if its true, but I heard that Deathball is actually Chad "Big Nasty" Pollman's long lost twin brother. I don't know, you be the judge!!!
he got me
I ran into him for the first time in Atlanta about 3 months ago. He saw i was with scooter and comes up to me trying to figure out who i was and make a game. I told him that i was the driver and i dont play much and that i was from Cleveland. As im telling him this he pulls out his cell phone makes it look like he is texting and me not knowing he snaps a pic of me. About and hour later he come back up to me trying to match up a game again. Again i tell him i cant beat anyone and im just the driver. He says Mr. Behnke i know u are lying to me you Iowa boy. I was speechless and he noticed that he busted me and he says u know how i know this. He tells me while he had his phone out he snaped a pic and sent it to everyone in Cleveland he knew said no one knew me from there but someone noticed who i was and that i was from iowa. Let me tell you that guy moves good lol.

LOL, gotta work on that hustle Sleeve. See, time for plastic surgery already. Gotta love technology.
Switching looks is something of an art.
Two years ago, I saw John DiToro at a tournament. I had gained about 40 pounds, I was clean shaven, and my hair was considerably shorter than the last time he saw me. He did not believe that it was me until I showed him my driver's license, and even then he looked at me kind of funny wondering if he was on Punk'd or something.
:killingme:
On Facebook, some of my friends from high school think that I am a bank robber because in every other picture I look completely different.
Its kind of fun to do that, and it catches people by surprise when they expect me to show up with jeans, a t-shirt, longer hair and a beard, or vice versa when I show up in suit and tie.

I would love to see Basavich lose a bunch of weight. Not only would it be a good "disguise", he would be healthier and I'll bet, pretty darn good looking. He has such a nice face.

I was around him for several hours and never heard anything truthful come out of his mouth. It was quite entertaining though!!! He did the same thing to me and everyone else he didnt know, snapping pics and making calls.

Like I said, this guy is way too big of a character for there not to be some stories. Let's hear em
Forgot 1
In May when i was in vegas i ran into him again. He comes into the TAR bar during the BCA National 8 ball sits down talks to me for a little bit just small talk. Then he starts talking to Big Nasty telling him that Nasty is prob the best player in the room lol. Nasty tells him he cant run 2 balls. So Deathball offers Nasty to play the ghost and he gets the 2 through. And Nasty would not get up and play because he has no chance and Deathball could not believe it. He tells Nasty i dont care even if you are robbing me ill let you get up there and play it for $20,000 its no big deal to me i just want to see if you can play Mr. Nasty. He stayed in that TAR bar for over 2 days trying to get Nasty up to play. Deathball slept in there and eveything. Took a chair put it in the corner and slept there for 2 days straight lol.

Some of us just don't want to remember anything about Deathball.
He's a yearly fixture at the Derby City Classic. Just like 3-card Monty, I'd never believe anyone would ever want to play his game. Someone correct me but I believe this year he was asking for the 5 and the break and the first shot with ball-in-hand... playing 6-ball. Basically, Deathball gets to play the 6-ball ghost getting the 5-ball. Through all the banter, Jason Kirkwood got sucked in, and the misery that is Deathball consumed us all. It was sickening to watch. But, it was entertaining in a very twisted sort of way. Deathball took it.
The first time I ever saw Troy was in 1993 or 1994 in JOB or Chattagnooga. He was slightly smaller and he still had hair. He was playing 8-ball on a bar table against a guy playing one handed jacked up. Nobody there seemed to know much about him. He talked a bit, but nothing out of line and nothing too loud.
They'd played each other for a couple of days until the other guy pulled up. Trying to negotiate something, and with a hint of an insult towards him about being a bit nitty looking for a spot, Troy suddenly turned up the schtick throwing about 20 large on the table telling everyone he was ready to gamble and becoming about as obnoxious as I'd ever seen another human being.
Troy offered a game called Deathball. At the time, I thought it was the game he was describing, but it could have been that he meant that to play this game would be playing pool Deathball-style. I didn't know at the time that his nickname was Deathball. It wasn't until last year that I put the two together. He's bigger and bald today. But, he's the same obnoxious as all get out.
So, the game he described: 9-ball. He'd give the 1-ball he'd take the break and the 2-out. Nobody bit. At least not that day. I'm sure someone tried him out.

Im not sure how this guy gets any action, He tells everyone he owns a real estate company, that didnt really work on me considering I do own a real estate co and could see through all the bs. Donny Mills had him trapped up a couple months ago and beat him out of a $100, IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THIS GUY LOSE SOME MONEY, although it was to Donny
Sounds like a complete nerve wrecking nit.
