Well, since I've moved to a new town that doesnt have a pool hall, the closest place to me in Grand Rapids, Mi. So i went down there to Anazah Sands East, the one by Showgirls lol.
Anyways, So I'm in there for about 20mins and just practicing, and since it's been about a week since, I've hit some balls, I'm just trying to pot balls. Well this guy on the table next to me, asks if I want to shoot a game or two. I said sure, since I was getting kinda bored.
Of course he's like I know your good since I seen you shooting and stuff, lol which made me laugh and I told him I'm not that good. Anyways so he ask's what I want to play and said its your table and upto you, so we play 8ball.
He then says, what kinda rules do you wanna play? I said it didnt matter, and he gives me the whole you want bar rules or APA? I give him the sly whats APA lol.
And he goes oh, its kinda like bar rules, but you call your shot. I said sure lets play that. Basically we ended up playing bar rules, call your shot, combo's and even if a solid is going off a stripe. And scratches are behind the line too. Well after he loses X amount of games in a row, and I'm not even trying, he asks if I want play Bank the 8?
I tell him sure, and he gives me the rules, that you can come off a rail first and hit the 8ball and thats a bank or you can just bank it naturally. needless to say I won all of those games too.
Now the whole time he's drinking like a fish, and then we go back to playing the APA rules lol, and start to play for some small cash. a couple bucks a game. Well he loses the first couple games, and keeps on doing the double or nothing move.
Needless to say he ended up loosing 128$ lol, from the double or nothing moves.
I forgot to mention before we started to play the guy, tells me he's from Boston. Which I could tell from his accent. But when he told me that and then explain'd the rules of APA, I just wanted to bust out laughing. Plus the whole time, he's telling me that I am hustling him, yet he kept on playing lol.
Then he's like hey, if you have the time come back down before I leave, so we can play again. I told him I'd probably be around on Thursday, so we can play then. He was like COOL! I'll even bring my cue so I play better!
I bolted outa the place before he realized he was in a lose lose situation. But it was fun taking his money. Plus he paid for the table and drinks too, which I only had a couple Pepsi's
