offer him two balls, 9 to 7, if he will raise the bet to twenty a game.
who wants to play for 5 dollars anyway thats only half of a sandwich in price.
Maybe he just does not mind? Maybe it's just incidental? Just for fun?
Buy him a lunch and a beer.
I think you are over-thinking this.
If it is bothering you, I will be glad to give you my paypal address and you can send the money to me as I need all I can get.I have been playing one pocket with the same guy for 6 sessions now.
We only play for $5 a game,his choice.
I have won all 6 sessions 3 or 4 games ahead.
Yesterday I won 10 games.
I asked him considering he has never won a session why he didn't ask for a spot.
He said in the past our games have been very close but today I ran 8 and out once and six and out twice and most of the games were not close.
I feel like i'm stealing even for such a small bet.
I just dont feel right doing this,and I dont need the money.
He's a real nice guy,never complains,a real gentleman to play with.
What do i do?
Refuse to play unless he takes some kind of spot?
In 58 years of playing I've never been in this situation.
empty him out.
start with his cash - get all of it, then his jewelry, cars and finally his real estate.
.
There ya go. Take his woman, dog, cue collection, baseball cards.
first off..
Just wondered what you guys would do.
first off he is a $5 a game player period.
I forgot to mention he told me he played a guy in the room getting 10-5 and lost 40 games in a row.
The same guy he lost 40 in row to at 10-5 gives me 9-6 when he breaks and 9-7 when I break.
I'm not going to offer him anything.
If he asks we will work out a spot.

what the hell are you posting on here; your conscience is bothering you?
we have an image to maintain, sir.
Knock it off.
And money is not a concern for him,he has a well paying job and owns some rental properties.
Maybe he does think i'm a charity case.
I am 71 and drive a 2006 car with 193K on it.
But thats by choice not necessity.
I hate car payments.
Personally, I would start playing a different style game.
I would start shooting shots that are above my pay grade just for the experience of learning new things.
Play more aggressive- that will help him win a few and you'll learn new shots.
Relax maybe he needs the company. Offer to buy lunch a bear or such.
Maybe he's reeling you in for the BIG ONE.
LOL.
