Can someone explain Travis Trotter to me?

Who is Travis Trotter?

Can anyone REALLY answer that question?!?! Well, I'll try my best:

travis is a guy who likes to play pool and he likes to play pool because earl plays pool and allison play pool and they both play pool really well so travis likes pool and he plays a lot and sometimes he wins games but sometimes he loses games but either way he plays with a cuetec cue because earl plays with a cuetec cue and earl is an amazing pool player and allison plays with a cuetec cue and she is also an amazing pool player and he has a pool table at home and sometimes he likes to take his cuetec cue and play pool on his pool table and sometimes he likes to practice for hours and hours and hours with his cuetec cue and when hes done playing with his cuetec cue he comes to az to tell everyone how great his cuetec cue is and that if it wasnt so great earl wouldn't use a cuetec cue and for that matter allison wouldnt use a cuetec cue either because both earl and allison are great pool players and all real great pool players know that cuetec cues are awesome cues and when you play pool you should play with a cuetec cue and then go online and tell everyone that you played with a cuetec cue and that your cuetec cue is a great cue and that if it wasnt such a great cue earl and allison wouldnt play with a cuetec cue and....


well, I think you get the idea.
 
Did I tell you about the time Travis was hustling pool at a country club? He had been playing racketball with a very wealthy lawyer. They had a grand old time, and Travis was really charming him, letting him win a little money, etc.

As they were walking to the locker Travis was congratulating this lawyer on his win. They passed a pool table and Travis commented that he BET the lawyer couldn't beat him at pool. The lawyer, with a devious look in his eye, replied that he would beat him, and would bet it up.

Needless to say Travis was giving him a steady whooping when all of the sudden a news bulletin came over the TV. Famous cardshark/pool hustler THE DEACON was getting out of jail. Travis finished his thrashing, took his cash, and called Fast Larry Guninger quick. They had a plan to hatch.

What happened next you ask? Well, that is another story for another time. Hopefully TT will stop being so humble and get on here and tell a story or two.
 
Little

did people know that Travis once appeared in a commercial once, in disguise of course, saying, 'So, you're saying there is a chance'.

I'm fairly certain it's a female player based on many of TT's comments. Is that part correct?

Apparently the answer to that question is no, nobody can explain Travis Trotter to you. Almost every response in this thread is sarcastic in some way.

Having read the entire thread, I am now even more confused than before.
 
I said it before....

If Travis is a jam-up, serial killer pool player who fires balls in with ice in his veins... (which may be true)... it's the greatest con job ever. He writes like a moron and sounds like a moron, but that doesn't mean I don't need the last-4 in real life.

I vote Travis for #1 rep spot. I did my part today which bumped him from 9 green dots to 10. It also moved him up from page 19 to page 18! Together we can make this happen! :)

Here, I'll make it easy for you and provide a link to one of his posts....

Come on guys, show some love and hit Travis with a little green. :grin-square:

Travis Trotter. Where do I begin?

Born in Chicago, he grew up playing against the likes of Bugs Rucker and Freddy the Beard. He was feared throughout Chicago and the country for his hard hustle tactics, and just generally never missing a ball.

In the 70's when Buddy Hall was busting everyone on the bar table, there was one player that he couldn't fade and that was Travis Trotter. Why isn't THAT in the history books you say? Because Travis Trotter ordered it that way so he wouldn't hurt future action.

Later, when McCready was a West Coast monster wearing a T-Shirt saying "The World Gets the 8 ball", Travis wore a shirt that said, "Keith McCready gets the 8 and the Breaks".

Travis travelled the country with a beautiful Balabushka cue, Fellini case..speeding along the lonely highways in a Corvette Convertible with a beautiful woman or women always at his side.

In 1989 when Nick Varner was winning everything in sight, Travis offered him the 7 and Nick declined stating, "Travis, you know I need more than the 7." Nick later asked, "Travis, why don't you play in tournaments? You could be on T.V. winning everything like I have been." Travis replied, "If I wanted a tin cup I would buy one. CASH is where its at." Travis and his partner Fast Larry Gunninger then looked at each other and laughed a knowing laugh. Oh, what a pair those two were.

I remember hearing the story of Travis and Ronnie Allen playing. They started playing even one pocket and Ronnie soon knew he was in deep trouble. He offered to play him one handed. That too was a losing proposition. Before it was over, Ronnie was playing with both hands and Travis was playing with a plunger. Ronnie quit busted.

In the 1990s a young Johnny Archer was on the annihilating the competition. Travis played him for three days and nights, a race to 1000. Johnny won 7 games.

Yep, old Travis has long been a retired hustler from this game we all love so much. He did discover cuetec cues and found a real love for them. He sold his Bushka to Cornerstone and bought several Allison Fisher model cuetecs, and enjoys puttering around in his basement playing on his SEARS 8 foot pool table, and typing in to AZ.....but please......for those that don't know...NEVER discount the contributions this legendary hustler made to pool. The most amazing part is how he managed to keep his name unknown to the likes of us.

But I challenge you. At your next big event pull Buddy Hall aside and quietly ask him, "Buddy, can you tell me about Travis Trotter." I suspect Buddy will get a dead serious look on his face, and perhaps a tear might even form in the corner of his eye and he will silently respond, "I never want to hear that name again."

Please count your lucky stars that Travis even takes the time to contribute to this forum.

That is all I have to say about that.
