Billiard quotes

Talking about St. Peter, and older, local player here in AZ told me that when he goes, "he's gonna see what that ole boy knows about one-pocket."
 
quote from an aussie, originally Kiwi, called Digby, 120kg, who was almost unbeatable in his prime. He played pool, but also achieved a 143 in snooker.

"He'll miss, and when he does, I'll muuuuuurrrrrder him"

We laughed when he said it, but when he played, it was pretty much true.

The way he said murder just filled you with delightful fear.

My grandfather actually did this during the early 50's, he worked in a pool in Montana and played money games pretty much all day long. He has more stories than anyone else I know.

My quote isn't a humorous one but it's one my favorite quotes from one of my favorite players:


"You can NEVER duck your way into a championship"

Nick Varner

Omaha Fats to Minnesota Fats in Johnston City after Minnesota Fats said that he had played Zsa Zsa Gabor earlier that week:

"Well...I don't know who the man is. But if YOU played him, You had the Nuts.
 
Back in 1989 on accu stats Nick Varner V Mike Sigel at the 9-ball US Open. Sigel was leading in the match 9-2, Varner was corner hooked and kicked two different ball in to get to the break. Every rack, the corner ball went in and Sigel was enjoying every minute until Varner won the previous game and one of the commentators was Grady Mathews and he commented on the easy breaking table when Varner won the last game and said this about the easy breaking table and a little jab at sigel "....the same thing that makes you laugh will make you cry....." Sigel went on to lose that match 11-10 (one of my favorite tapes from accu stats...
 
"To play a good game of billiards is a sign of a well-rounded education. To play too good of a game is a sign of a misspent youth" or something like that...
 
I used to be pretty anal about calling all fouls. I called one once while playing one-pocket on an opponent who I was favored to beat. He got upset paid me and quit. An old-time player took me aside and explained that it wasn't a foul. I explained how he had moved the cue ball by accident therefore it was a foul. He said no "when you are gambling with someone where you are heavily favored to win, nothing they do is a foul". I have probably let about a thousand fouls go since he explained that to me.
