Annoying sobriety

There's a dude who likes to show up late like clockwork about an hour before last call at one of my favorite watering holes with a nice (free) table completely sober wanting to own the table on a bunch of happy drinkers who are anywhere between APA 3-5. The guy is less than equal speed when I'm sober (he's a strong APA 6). On weekends I don't enjoy hogging the table on folks so I drink like a fish, rarely play safe, and like everyone to have a good time. This guy comes in and thinks he's a big shot trying to kill everyone while he's 100% sober (no, he's not coked up).

When I'm not there to knock him off, he just annoys people. I guess I just don't get why someone would seriously think their impressing people this way. If you really think you're hot stuff, take it to a real pool hall and put your money on the light!

Not sure if I've articulated this accurately, but I feel a little better. :D

Most places I go to, the real "asssholes" usually have a beer in their hand.

:shrug:

Just keeping it real.
 
Try this; Go in some night drink a few beers wait till he shows up. Act like you had to way to many beers & challenge him for say race to 5 for $50. Then when he puts the money up front kick the NUTS off of him & buy around of beers for your buddys & yourself. See if he likes that. Hope this helps & good luck to ya.

Sounds like a solid plan to me also.
 
I believe that was a Fats move also. He never drank and would show up late. Not a bad idea if you like to win money.
 
The difference between a shark and a bottom dweller kind of fish.

One go for scraps left behind by the predator, and the predator hunts because they know they can get it!
 
Ever thought that maybe he doesn't drink for a reason? I mean, one other than keeping his skill level up? Recovering alcoholic is but one reason. In my case, I'm a type 2 diabetic on a drug called glipazide (or something like that). Right on the bottle it says no booze...booze could send me into a coma. So, I should quit playing pool because I can't drink?

Why not try to stay sober yourself some time, then kick his butt on the table?
