A Little Humility

They play poker at my poolhall. As it's the only action, I tend to play, but when I'm not, I just woof at everybody as they leave. They've just lost at poker and are on tilt, but they all need a LOT of weight. So last night I offer 4 on the wire going to 5 playing 8-ball (seriously, this is almost a fair bet here). I win the flip and proceed to make the 8 and scratch on the break. Quickest. Set. Ever.

just wanted to share my slice of humble pie :D

//we played a couple more and he ended up ahead one. I blame the small bet :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, but who paid the table time when the race to five was over?

steev,
You need to practice the "flip", if you'd lost the flip you'd probably be money ahead at this point.
 
luckily I view the loss as a good setup for future games :D Hopefully it will come back tenfold, and if I know this guy, it will.

Of course he gets the breaks from now on...
