The worst case of sharking?

Well I have been with the APA for almost a year now and the only sharking I've had was with a guy that thought he was hot sh*t , he was a good player but lucked a lot of his shot's in .

The first time I played him I was ahead and when he went to pull the balls he started thowing them at me so of course I didn't do anything .

The second time I played him I did the same thing to him and he had a little more respect the second time around because He knew I wasn't going to take his crap . Then on one of my breaks I figured I'd launched Cue ball right at him instead of hitting the rack square but I missed about 2 inch's .

lmao that is pretty funny. A true APA moment if there ever was one.

if your gonna play league, I think you have to learn to fade pool idiots. There is a high concentration of them in league play.

Yep, not easy to do but you will be miserable if you let guys like that get to you in a league.

Unless you play better when you are pissed off, in that case let him piss you off.

Well, I woke up this morning, and I'm still just steaming over this, so I thought that if I shared I could get some ideas on how to handle it. Last night in my APA leauge match I had the displeasure of playing one of the most arrogant people I've ever met. It started out with him downplaying his rank, which was a 6, like he was way overrated. OK, whatever, I know BS when I hear it. Then the match starts and I'm down on my shot taking my warmup strokes and he yells out "Don't shot that ball, take a time out". Well, I don't know about yall but that upset me just a little. Then after that rack he decided to take on the responsibilty of being a coach to both teams and procede to tell me what I did wrong on my run. I just smiled and nodded, they whole time just stewing on the inside. Next rack I get down to the 8 ball and he grabs the rack and stands right in my line of sight waving it back and forth but I nail it home. I guess that he still didnt think that he had quite crossed the line far enough, so when a song comes on the jukebox (that is blasting) that he likes, he runs to grab a cordless mic from a back room and procedes to sing karaoke in between shots. Then he sings karaoke DURING his shots. He comes to the table singing, SITS THE MIC ON THE TABLE and then shoots, picks the mic back up and continues singing. At this point my head is about to explode but I tried my best to stay focused on the game but I admit it got to me. I thought it was disrespectful to me and the game. I worked hard and got to hill-hill but lost the match. I have read alot of posts on here bashing the APA and the social players but I couldn't relate because I have had a great experience (in my 2 sessions) untill now. I now understand everyones gripes and complaints. I take pride in everything that I put effort into including my growing pool game but to play against someone that makes a mockery out of pool is just infuriating. Thank you for letting me vent and any advice on how to handle these situiations would be great. Thanks.

First off I am the Captain of an APA team. Your Captain should have called a foul resulting in the other team forfeiting the match. No debate at all. If they refused, I would have been on the phone to my League Operator. There is no excuse for this guy's behavior.

Did anyone check his eyes for signs of druging?? LOL

I am pretty sure as a player or captain, i would have nicely asked him to stop. Then i would have been rude and asked him to stop. Then i would have unscrewed my cue. given my cue keys and wallet to someone i trust and beat the shit out of him and went to jail.

Thats pretty much the way id go except i would be rude right from sentence one. I would be so boiling over, there's no way i could be civil at all!
