Done "right", hustling = stealing.
Just another form of a con game.
But, hustling <> gambling, a distinction Mosconi made in his autobiography. Until Fats made him a ton of money he hated the whole Fats part of pool and was outspoken about Fats being a fraud as a player. Once he realized that no one believed anything Fats said but that Fats could make him a lot of money he softened, but he is very adamant in his autobiography.
