I think I get the gist, but your story is a little hard to follow.

If the referee is correct, then I think he has the right to have the last say. But I believe I would ask him to ignore that foul. I wouldn't want to win a game that way.

So your boy had rabbit ears?

The best response will usually depend on who you are dealing with. A few approaches that worked for me: 1. My opponent had about $2 worth of quarters in his pocket and he stuck his hand in his pocket and started rattling them when I bent over to shoot. I stood up and went and stood...

It seems that there was a witness who claims to have seen the foul. I think that might have swayed the ref somewhat. Sticky situation, but I can't fault her for the way she handled it.

In Hunter's defense, if he actually saw a foul committed, then he'd be a dummy not to call it. No point having the rules if you're not going to follow them. In Scott's defense, I have always said that if there is no referee and you know you committed a foul, then you call it on yourself. But...

Wasn't Buster Douglas the boxer who upset Mike Tyson?

Do you include Meucci?

Hello, I registered a long time ago, but I haven't been using the website. Trying to figure out how the forums work, etc., etc., etc. On a personal note, I first picked up a cue stick when I was in high school, about 50+ years ago. I guess I could best describe myself as an accomplished...

Glad to see you give The Nub a mention. He's one of my favorite hustlers too. What you said about him making the game more than fair hits close to home. Sometimes when Nubby was passing through Lake Charles he would stop in at Fast Freddie's pool room. He knew I had an interest in one pocket...
