What is wrong with a Spot? Bucktooth likes the action, and is not the Best player the one who Wins and counts his CASH at the end?

Nothing is wrong with a spot. However, based on every match-up of Bucktooth's that I've witnessed, a player would have to absolutely outrun the nuts to win. Bucktooth has a lot of money and bets high. If I had his money I would bet that high too if I had the nuts. Many players would; not just me. If you listened to him talk you'd think he's completely crippled. In 2007, maybe that's not far off. I don't know. But I've seen the act for at least 15+ years now and that's all I've seen. Meanwhile, from what I understand, the guy was a very good player in his day. I'm sorry if I don't fall over in admiration. I don't think it takes an abundance of heart to bet high when you have the nuts and you have loads of expendable cash. His thousands are like my dollars. Now I ask myself, would I bet 10 dollars if I had the stone nuts? Hah! That's a no-brainer, right?

Anyway, the guy does bet high and he is entertaining to be around when he gets going. He's the best woofer in the business. When you see him walk through the door you know that something is going to happen - even if it's just him entertaining the crowd with his woofing. He's equally entertaining once he gets in a game, too. The woofing act doesn't end when the game starts. He goes all night. It all seems like it's in good fun and it's fun to watch. I think he even gets other people matching up with each other. He does generate action.

The only spot i can think of bucktooth getting from Tony and having a chance would be, "You make a ball you win."

You obviously have never seen bucktooth play one pocket!! I watched when Tony gave him 8-4 and the breaks at Hardtimes for $1000 a game. Bucktooth's break is as good as any pro out there. :eek: Tony had his hands full.
 
I have awalys likes Tooth, he pisses of people and talks trash perhaps better than anyone. He is a colorful guy, he'll talk about how he busted the whole joint, how he had his wife bring a million in cash to Tahoe once. etc. To me its amusing. I could be wrong but I have never heard him insult or belittle anyone directly, he promotes himself, talks of his past successes. etc. he hasnt had the easy road in life, this I know for a fact. I remember the firat time I saw him, i'll save that story for another time but I'll never forget it, he makesa lasting impression on the people he encounters. love him or hate him he is one of a kind, and pool needs more people or chatcter like him.

I'll still play him big bank roll takes little bank roll, then I'd have the last word, how strong is that? forget pool that takes to long, lets get it done in 5 minutes with our accountants, You see thats why I disappeared in 94 so I could come back and bust him. ;) and now i'm ready.

BTW: i like him and his family

In the movie the Hustler, Fast Eddie says, to Fats, "Fatman I am the best, I am the best there ever was, even if you beat me I am still the BEST." I love those words.

Someone out there in AZ land please quote it like it was in the movie if you can, I can only remember the message but not the exact words, I think I am close however.
 
tell him i'l play him 20 ahead 9-ball for $1,000,000, i have a picture posed here in a day or 2 of me and my $$$.

How old is bucktooth now?
A high school chum of his said on another thread that Tooth was born in 1939 . So that makes him either 67 or 68, depending on which month he was born.
