i was at hard times and wanted to play a wealthy businessman that i knew was good for $50,000 easily
but player A matched up quickly and the businessman told me to call next time i was in town
Now i knew that the business man hated to be treated like a bum or pool player,he prided himself on having such a good reputation that no one ever asked him to pay till the games were over,he also hated nitty players who needlessly called fouls
so the player a comes over and whispers to his silent partners.is he good for the dough
are you getting the picture,the player was a low rent rough non trusting not so gentlemanly type
so i say just loud enough to be heard,i always make em post(typical pool hall witness)
player a struts over and harmlessly says ,put up for 2 games
the businessman says but i always write a check when i'm through
not with me you don't
so i step up with a sheepish grin and say,your credits good with me
but i will be glad to post if that is ok with you
not asking do you want to play,but shall i post eventhough you don't need to
making it easy to say "heads or tails"
oh no,dean everybody knows you are good,heads or tails
he was good for the money and we didn't post
t
i did cash a huge check and played again,in fact we started playing at his home so his business wouldn't be
everybody's business[/QUOTE]
sounds like fast eddie playing the billliard player...
