What do you do if you catch someone cheating???

I have found that broken thumbs are quite a deterrent for cheating.....

I once ripped out a guy's earring with the tip of my cue for sharking me.

You have some anger issues.

I actually dont. I do however have an allergy to tequila. It makes me break out in handcuffs

I had this done in a big tourny. The player that did it put a chalk on the table that i thought he was using. I miscued on a very simple draw shot. Whatever he had in that chalk made no chalk stick to it. it was pretty terrible.

He left the chalk there because he realized I knew something was up. I watched his next match but he never got in trouble and didn't need any help.

I have left bad chalk (a brand I won't mention here) on the table so my opponent might mindlessly use it while I use my own. I could have removed it, but didn't.

Is that cheating?

i have a cue that has about a 15 inch knife that unscrews out of the bottom of the butt. perfect for dealing with cheaters.

What if the cheater was deadhead or someone else that rolls with his method?

I have no tolerance for cheating, and following a serious accident that left me physically unable to defend my self in the manner in which I had become accustomed, I now prepare for the worst, and have a "game ender" within reach at nearly all times when the law allows. (my permit allows me to carry in establishments that serve alcohol as long as I am not consuming any)

I'm playing someone $20/game (8ball). I'm up on him 8 games. I collect after each game. I found it wierd that I miscued 2 times in the same game, so I start watching him closely. I caught him wetting the chalk. I called him out on it. Put my sticks away and refused to pay him for the last game. My question isn't limited to wetting the chalk but any form of cheating.

I would have done the same and remembered not to ever play the creep again!

I tend to think anytime you are sharking in one form or another, it's crappy and petty.

Does it happen, yes. Does it happen often, yes. Does this make it right ok to do? In my eyes, no, but who am I to say what is right and wrong?

I will say this: if you are asking the question to others, you must already have some doubt in there somewhere and you may not be listening, to you.

Thanks for the reply. I agree.
