Anyone ever run into him in a non trick shot situation?

Several different sources list him as a road man, I've just never heard of him playing or gambling at any level and would welcome any stories.

Cut and paste from a pool hustlers video he is selling.

The Pool Hustler's Handbook. Every shot is shown and explained in detail by Chef Anton. These billiard brain teasers can make you look like a pro and can even win you money like a professional pool hustler, even if you are just a beginner. The DVD also contains some new shots and variations that do not appear in the book. Never pay for a drink again! The Pool Hustler's Handbook DVD is the ultimate bar bet video. This collection of the fifty best billiard brain-teasers are designed to make you appear to be a knowledgeable and skilled pool player. It also teaches you how not to get hustled. Non-Buyers Beware! As a bonus, you will receive a Private Pool Lesson from the Chef. You will learn the pool secrets he has learned as a road player for over 25years. The clearly explained instructions include everything from cue selection to making the ball draw back to you like a yo-yo. A must have for any pool enthusiast. "I can't believe he hustled me!" - Minnesota Fats "A clever, entertaining book I wish I had written. What fun!" - Robert Byrne - BCA Hall of Fame "Chef Anton shoots the works! If you don't already know this stuff, buy a copy. If you do already know this stuff, buy every copy-- The jig is up!" - Harry "The Hat" Anderson - Cheers, Night Court, etc. Running Time: Approximately 1hr 37mins.

Thanks Chuck, I've seen that one before.
Still I can't find anything that says anyone has played him, or he was a road agent.

I guess my main point was, that he sounds full of shit to me. The more you look into him, the less his stories add up.

For instance, his line about NOT cooking was a lie, he was a trained chef.

If I had to guess, I would say that his 'road agent' days never existed, at least not as what an actual pool player would think of it as being a road player. But I have been wrong before. :thumbup:

Well he is a magician, and part of being a good magician is convincing others that everything you say is true, when it's really not.
