ehow: how to hustle the pool table

[Beware_of_Dawg]

LOL. I stumbled into a website; ehow. It advertises that you an learn how to do virtually anything online....

I found this extremely useful instruction on how to "hustle in pool"

here

Here's the lowdown;

Step 1
Before you can hustle, you need to practice. Practice every day by playing at least two games. If you are going to play someone that may be good, you need to be better.

Step 2
Challenge someone. Put a small bet on the line. Play the game, but don't try your hardest. Don't let them figure out that you aren't trying though.

Step 3
Once they win. Congratulate them and challenge them to another game. This time raise the bet. Play this game a little better than the last, but let them win again.

Step 4
Pay the man, and challenge him to one more game. This time raise the stakes a bit. You want to win this one, so you want to win the money you have lost and more. Make sure he plays. If he backs out after the last win, your hustle is over and you lost money. When you play this game, try hard. Play to the best of your ability and win. You have now hustled the table and benefited.

How (not) ToHustle

The first time I thought I was a hustler, I was 21 and me and my buddy went to the a rough bar in Los Angeles we heard about - it was down by the airport. Full of bikers and a lot of guys hanging around the pool tables.

We were ok players but avoided the top guns and shortstops in pool rooms. We had scored well in some bars in the San Fernando Valley, so we thought we would keep on rolling through town.

We beat these guys playing 8 ball for a couple of hundred at $50 a game. We didn't think they could play and we weren't missing. Then they wanted to play 9 ball and we could smell a rat. So we decided not to. They matched up with some other guys hanging around. Turns out we were probably the worst players in this bar and the guys there were really good players, break and run, break and run.

We snuck out the back door and never came back to that bar again.

She's only 4'10'' and most of the time I just roll her up in a ball and put her in my traveling bag!:wink:

Boy after reading that post I will never get hustled. Thanks for all the secrets to hustling. Hope I never run into that guy. :grin::grin::grin:

 

[Cameron Smith]

lol, This guy is having you dump two games with increasing bets? Unless your playing someone you know will playing a long gambling session, your asking for someone to quit winner on you.

Dumping a game or two to let your opponent feel competitive is all well and good but I would never let myself go in the red. But I'm not much of a hustler.

re: How to hustle

Back in the late seventies/ early eighties I received a pool table and I did nothing but practice every single day. When I turned 18 I bought a 1970 Mach 1 Mustang and on Friday nights I would gather up my cue case and head on down the strip. There were numerous bars, bowling alleys, pool halls etc. where I would stop and start hustling. Most Friday nights I would take in $400 - $500 cash and then about 1:00 a.m. head to the Dicks drive-in for some greasy burgers and fries.
Back then you would always run into buddies at your different stops and they would sit back and watch as I put a hustle on new unsuspecting folks. More than a few times guys figured out they were being hustled and they were always waiting outside when I walked out. Lots of hustling, lots of fights, lots of street racing and cruising. Good times.

I hustled the pool table once. I put $200 on the table and was like "bet you can't make this shot" and the table was so scared it didn't even respond. It didn't have $200 to pay me so I took the set of Centennials and as collateral and left. For some reason the owner of the room chased me down and pepper sprayed me, but I think it's because he was jealous.

Ehow is pretty funny all around, it gives a lot of specific advice on... ahem.... bedroom actvities as well. Just in case you are a little confused about where things go, etc. Or so I have heard....
