That was an example of hustling? Have you ever been in a pool hall?
Says the guy involved in $1300 weekend pool schools, that's a hustle.
My thoughts exactly.
Pot calling the kettle black and just a little self righteous for my taste.

So you have a 2-3 ball edge on this guy.. and you win 8-1 and 8-3??
Well, you didnt 'hustle 'him. You dont know how.
A 'hustler' would still be playing him.
Dont quit your daytime job.

You know what they say.. If you can't.do...teach.
The OP didn't say he hustled him. He was approached for a game, didn't hide his skill and won. I see no hustling here and don't get why anyone would criticize the OP for taking the bet and taking the money. I consider myself in the "anti-hustling" but "pro-gambling" set, but even I don't think a player has an obligation to turn down an offered game (which comes about without deception) because the opponent will lose.
I booked a bad game last weekend. Knew what I was getting into. Lost 3 sets pretty badly.
I booked a bad game just to learn some new moves in 1p. I tend to learn better while playing and seeing what is done to me than with just watching other players. It worked out well in the end though. The next weekend, I changed my style of play. Guys that I had been even with, I am now beating. I am now out moving those guys and really getting more excited with making moves than with pocketing balls.
Was my opponent hustling me because he is much better than me and got some easy money? I agreed to the game, I played the game, and I payed for it.

I concur!
I got myself for min bid (10$)

Especially if you are good at making deals. I never bought myself in a Calcutta. If you get deep enough in the tournament there will be opportunities to cash in.
