I agree with what everyone else is saying..You f*cked that dude.. And how.
It is well known that most honest players out there will say that dumping a backer is the lowest thing you can do.
And that's what you did.. You dumped a backer.
And then, there are the scumbags out there, that will say "I'm gonna f*ck anyone that is not a direct friend of mine."
Seems like..It would be hard to make NEW friends.

Good to see you Russ, hope you been good.:smile::smile:
this isnt directed at you Russ, below is my opinion-to be clear.:smile:
Like I said in this thread befor, its just best left not talked about. There is a lot of "Biz" in pool, anyone who thinks otherwise just hasnt been around very long or been out and about. Like the Derby for example, I've been tossed off by a guy I put in the box there one time, big deal. It happens, the best situation is knowing about the "Biz" and getting rail bets down-easier said than done, information is great.
There is a fine line between a hustle and fraud, the net result is the same. Its just word games. The OP was just blatent about chopping up the bar tender, never chop up the house man! Get the house man on your team hire him and you'll get protection as well as action, unless the house man is double steering you.
While I dont agree with what the OP did, I dont think its as bad as he made it sound. I wasnt there so I can only go by his post.
When anyone of us as people aquire money, someone lost it. (unless they are counterfitters:wink
. With all $$$ transactions there is gain and loss. You can justify your gain if your a barbarber and cut someones hair for $20. The barbarber gains $20, the customer lost $20. Fair deal. Thats in the service industry. If you trade merchandice for $$$ you are a merchant and every move is done with a profit motive, the buyer is the loser of the $$$ but gains the property. All this is nice and warm fuzzy, PC, idealistic facts.
It gets henky when someone aquires $$$ and the other person gets nothing for it(perhaps a life lession). Look at the tragic death/murder of Mike last week, It appears that robbery was the motive. Or drug $$$, desperate people do desperate unthinkable things as in that case. That is the worst possible conduct anyone can commit. He robbed Mike of all he was and everything he was going to be. RIP Mike.
Down a notch from the most extreme circumstance as noted above, is figuring out how to extract $$$ from someone(or a business) and provide little or nothing in return. If you sell your car and take all the $$$ and go bet it on a hand of 21 and lose the casino just won your car and you got NOTHING in return. If someone steals your car your in the exact same spot. The only difference is one act was against your will, the other was your plan. One is illegal the other is legal, the results are the same.
The perception of the method of aquireing $$$ is all i'm talking about. So when you match up with someone playing $100 sets any sane person thinks they have the best of it, both sides do thats why its called gambling. When the set is over and the score is 11-9 did the winner earn the $$$? what if it was 11-0? did he rob the guy? The results are the same. Its our perception that is different nothing else. If you win 11-0 and the guy calls tails for a 2nd set, do you say "you cant win I'll give you the 5 ball"? Or are you happy because you KNOW your going to win $100 more. What would you do in that spot? You do whats best for yourself. We all do. When its cold outside we come inside to a warm room. Its human nature.
there is a very blurry line between hustling and fraud. And in the modern era on mincing up words trying to make our selves look PC and all that BS, it all boils down to the same result. Some will win others will lose-buyer beware. You have to have a con in this land of milk and honey or your just not going to survive, unless we become a communist nation.
