    Dead Dude Twenty plus years ago, I beat this guy at $100.00 per game of 8 ball on a bar box in his bar. He is down $300.00 and quits but doesn't pay off. Instead he sits back at the bar with his buddies and calls me a "hustler". No matter that a few weeks earlier, he broke me and my buddy in...

    Tip I learned from the late great Harry "Poochy" Sexton

    Anyone who ever saw or had the opportunity to play pool with the late great pool hustler, "Harry Sexton", will appreciate this. Harry was a classic pool hustler, never revealing anything about what he knew of the game. While working in Flint, Michigan back in the mid eighties, I played with...

    Scott Frost vs The So Called One Pocket Greats
