I forget who it was but some gambler wannabe
just got startedand he had been feeding on some inexperienced players
MO modus operandi..he would get people to start playing cheap and win and jack the bet until he won the money,never risked anything of his own
He would hold court among the pundits and explain the success of his gambling explaining that he never risked any real money because if he didn't win right away he would quit and live to play another day
But this day he confronted John
,he asked wanna play some one hole?
to which John calmly replied 'what kind of money are we talking about playing for if we do play?'
You see John is qualifying the prospect
The guy replied oh say $100 a game
""
John now backs off while quietly shaming the guy,no thank you I don't want to risk my $5000 i have here trying to win a $100'
The brushoff, not chasing but enticing with the money while fanning the flames of desire with with the cool breeze of withdrawal
The Bully type just can not keep from bulling on,he begins to chase
Our friend the neophyte now tries to recover and pulls out his $5000 bank roll, the product of 100 small victories and says "I got money too, I gamble you know"
pushing
John cntinues to shame the fellow in front of the crowd by saying
"oh I know you have money,I didn't mean that,it's just that I bet mine and you just flash yours"
Oh yeah..or its equivalent
"you also only play with the nuts and we both know you could beat me even iif
you weren't so tight and timid"
Oh yeah,well I will play even
For the $5000
yeah,for the whole thing
This is john Hager Sr,Jack Cooney's partner
One of the most dangerous men to your pocket book I ever saw
Let me know if you guys like these hustler stories,they are all I have,I never played league, or took lessons but I did engage in some games and spend time admiring
games like most only see in the movie. People tell me they are fun
Some may find them instructive, some people think big scores just fall in your lap
without planning and foresight,but that's not what I have seen.
what did Doyle Brunson say in the poker book? 'look around the table and if you can not identify the
easy mark,then chances are it's you"...loose quote
I hate tha feeling when I realize it's me,but it happens
