Same shit really. If somebody is only ever willing to lose a single game, that’s bad action. Pool has swings, even in a good game. If you can’t handle a 1 game swing, bad action.

If you negotiate a time, or offer a way for them to get even I think you’re fine

Set is a different story. I am talking by the game and you lose the first game and quit. You said he never loses more than 1 bet, so I assumed that applied in by the game scenarios too. Sure you can quit after a set. After a single game though, you’re bad action. That’s all. And as far as...

If somebody made a game with me, lost the first game, then quit, I would never play that person again. And I would tell everyone I know not to play that person. And when I’m telling them the reason they shouldn’t play that person, I definitely would not be saying because they’re a “shrewd gambler”

I see you went with “shrewd gambler” but the correct term for someone like this is “massive nit” or “bad action”

He’s so solid. He doesn’t like to fly though…

Great match great sweat. Looked like it was getting out of hand after day 1, then little John turned it on big time and probably would’ve won if they kept playing instead of pausing. Bergman is, in my opinion, the second best player on the US. Very underrated and I try to bet on him whenever I...

It was a nitty room for sure, but there was some good action too. Tall Phil, Asian jimmy, magdy, Wayne to name a few. Definitely a slew of people who wouldn’t bet a dime without the nuts though

yup that’s all true I pop in there here and there for some action. Owner is a super nice old Mexican 3 vision player Jose, cheap beer, cheap table time, great spot overall. Very different vibe from hob though

There was lots not to like, but lots to like as well. The staff were great (Mel and Natalia), there were always games, equipment was good, you could play some very high speed players if you wanted, you could sit on the rail and shoot the shit with Danny shades, limo bob, keone. Room had...

If we’re talking players, I play mostly one pocket and a lot of good one pocket players I know learned how to play pool playing one pocket, like it was their day 1 game. They developed terrible technique because of the emphasis on slow spinning the cue ball where they want it to go and little...

Yup

I played him some 9 ball and one pocket on super tight pockets at Santa Monica hob before they closed. He’s great at both, but his one pocket is really top notch

Ok here’s my assessment about ghost Fargo rate after thinking a bit. I’m now an established 679, so let’s assume that rating is correct. My ghost sample is large enough to say I’m certainly a slight underdog considering the conditions I play (fairly tight table, old cloth, wooden rack, random...

I’ve matched up with Adam a few times in so cal. He is known as a top tier one pocket player but I’m not even sure he plays much rotation at all anymore, and with the swings in the game this result isn’t crazy surprising. But for sure he’s a great player and that’s a good result for her
