I can't believe that no one has yet posted this well known one:

"Just for that, I'm gonna beat ya flat!"

Don't forget "Preacher, get me some J.T.S. Brown - no glass, no ice" or "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned"

"He kicks like Pele"
"He cuts like Ginsu"

My all time favorite is a quote I was told came from Vernon Elliot
"you ever hear the phrase 'there is always someone better?'"
"Well, that's ME"
 
Ones I hear in the hall...

(after missing a shot)... "Man look at that position..."

(after getting some bad rolls) "Wow... Someone pissed in the Pool Gods Post Toastys!"

"Man if you could hit your draw, follow and english shots you would be deadly."

"Hurry up and miss..."

"Beer makes me play better"

Some quotes from some notables.

"I would be better off teaching a cockroach. At least a cockroach does what you train them to do." - Hal Houle

"Bury your Grandmother! It doesn't matter who you are playing... Bury them!!" - Hal Houle

"Show me a Professional Pool Player and I will show you a bum" - Tony Annigoni (talking about what a friends father had told him when he was introduced to him as "Professional Pool Player")
 
This setup line from a friend of mine. While playing with his Kmart cue tells this guy "my brother will play you some but he plays real good. He runs 35 or 40 racks every time he gets a shot. But he'll only play if you bet like $5000 a set." The guy had to try it. He lost. Sam

Very good one, Sam. I personally coined this one. Talking to the bar maid, just loud enough for the sucker at the bar to hear. "You should see me play pool. That Willie Mascara taught me to play and told me never to bet less than $100 a game." It worked many times.

Don, I was 6'5" and 250-270 in the 70s when I was doing this. I never had any trouble, "That Way". Frequently, for what ever reason, they wouldn't play but it worked well if the sucker had been hitting on the same bar maid you just spoke to. Kinda worked on their manhood. At one time, I don't think there was anyone in the country that laid it down like I did. I studyed under the man many think was the greatest hustler ever, Utley J. Puckett. Utley was a big guy too and never had any problems getting out with the cash. Even as an old man, when I knew him. In my opinion, the greatest hustler ever was a guy virtually no one knew, unless you were a true player, Bill Lawson. Bill got me for more $$$ than anyone. Bill had an uncanny knack for shooting combinations on the 9 ball. If you think that won't keep you at the table your nuts. I'm not talking about hanging 9 balls. Middle of the table 9s and this guy would fire a 4-9 combo and split the joint. This was on the bar box, where anyone could run out.

P.S. And, you would have more likely said, "POST". Many did, Don.

Hemicudas, in the 1970's, UJ was a great road player I'd heard a lot about, mostly from Jersey Red and Johnny Ervolino, but one whom I'd never seen. By 1980, I surely reckoned I'd never have the opportunity.

Then, rather unexpectedly, at least to me, he played in the 1980 World Open 14.1 Championships. His playing flair, gregarious manner, and colorful attire (especially that hat!) really captured the crowd's imagination at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC. Fellow legend Cowboy Jimmy Moore also played in that event, and the crowd took to him, as well.

I'd like to know a little more about UJ. Any good UJ stories to share?

Got a lot of UJ stories, SJM, here's just one. UJ comes through Jackson, mid 70s. Bob Dancer is the best resident player there at the time. They both want weight but as usual they play even. UJ wins the break and is shooting the 4 ball. Tough, long cut in the corner. UJ both spins and cuts the ball, throwing it out of the hole. Ball ends up straight in but long for Dancer. Dancer is just about to shoot and UJ rakes the balls off the table. Dancer screems, "What in the hell are you doing?" UJ says, "Hell, if you can't get out from there you ain't gona win noway!" He was right Dancer didn't win.

Great story, and a brilliant example of clever gamesmanship. No wonder UJ beat them all!

Hey guys,

I was out in Vegas for a bar box tournament at The Cannery early this month. While searching for a mens room, I came across a bathroom marked uni-sex! Damn if I knew what to do. Never seen one before. :confused:

they are there for a reason. You would not be nervous if you knew you could not win. In pool one things for sure. No matter how good your opponnet is he has to sit and watch while you do your thing."
