    Larry Gendler aka New York Larry

    I played money ball with Larry at least once a week back in Brooklyn. He was always up for action. It's been over 20 years since I've seen him but I bet that if I walked into that CT pool room tomorrow he'd be ready for a game. Great guy with a smooth stroke.

    Taking Money From A Kid

    Given the situation you described, i don't think you did anything wrong. It sounds like his father wanted to get his son some experience and he decided to put him in the box. I don't think the dollar (or whatever currency) amount matters, because 500 means different things to different people...

    Conceding the Rack - A different perspective

    if someone wants to concede the rack and give you courtesy, it shouldn't matter if he is sitting in the chair watching you run out, or if, like you, he missed and left balls hanging. In my opinion, best practice is to never give courtesy. Espescially when gambling. If you routinely give...

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    Bambu, you'd rather be cursed out than have your name dragged through the mud? why would you say that? I see people being cursed out here all the time, but in my opinion, that's rarely ever called for. And I don't see myself as being an Internet tattletale. I just see this site as a way to give...

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    The history is we have known each other for 10 years. He is not a regular at my room. We may have played once or twice a year. I have won the majority of the time. Regarding whether it's right to put this out there, I did it for a couple of reasons. None of them, by the way, is to somehow get...

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    No, pool is not my source of income. It's just a weekend hobby. The money is not the important thing. It's the fact that someone gave me his word and broke it. And he hasn't even contacted me. If he pays me, I will be surprised, but I will make sure to post that here.

    NYC pool players beware Simon Lau

    I don't know if he has done this before. I never thought he would. I had the feeling that he was just sick the way he lost the last set and decided he didn't want to pay that night. Just a feeling. No proof.
