Do you want to make a living playing pool?

[BmoreMoney]

NO, by the last few weeks of leagues I hate having to be some where every week. I want to play at my leisure, if it was a job it would suck. I've noticed since becoming a cue dealer I don't play as much as I used to. I think I like helping people get what they want more then actually playing sometimes. Could be worse I guess.

Shooter, would you say cue dealing is like a primary job for ya or is it more like a supplemental income more along the lines of a hobby? Just curious if the smaller, independent dealers can actually have a shot in this game as opposed to large corporations and or even a cue builder?

Chuck, Does it teach you how to get those pesky tow alongs that have all the billiard stuff in them?

What about quarters from car washes?



It does....... Coin changers are a seperate course of study however....... :thumbup:

Coin changers lolol! You should have seen these guys when they discovered the phone card machines! You woulda thunk they had just discovered fire for the first time or just cured cancer! I guess if you were in that line of business you couldn't really blame them. No coins to worry about toting around or cashing in and supposedly they would have an average of a couple thousand in them and sometimes upward of $$$ 10 G's.

Making a living playing pool is not the life I would call living.

Is it cool that some young kid with, I assume, no job, kids, wife, or real responsibility is sponsored to travel and play pool? yup.

Is this something I aspire to have? nope.

Cool story bro.

Do you accept nickles from gumball machines as payments for the quarters from car washes class?

Unfortunately the Graduate Program known as 'Get the Cash", has to be paid for in paper money. :frown:

Might I suggest our entry level course, 'You too can look like a Hustler'. This course covers....
Pitching pennies (nickels are perfectly fine, and show how much of a hustler you already are)
Exaggerated hand movements for rolling dice
Cool phrases to utter as you walk into a pool hall. Including all of the classics such as "What you wanna do for a dollar or two...." and "Call me a locksmith, call me a digger, you make the bet right and I'll pull the trigger....."
Urban style clothing and where to get it

and many other old school tactics such as....

Carrying dead flies into a restaurant, and how to use them to get out of a check
How to pin a rail, and which rail to pin
How to manipulate the cloth to change caroms etc etc etc
Spitting in chalk 101

Call now, and Ill send out a special offer.....
Your very own, "Im a Hustler" shirt...... to let everyone know in the pool hall, EXACTLY what they are dealing with....... :thumbup:
