Loved his character!
Think of him every time I carry my bar cue in.....with no case of course. Ha
ummm .. (thinking) ... there was that one with Whoopie Goldberg .. can't remember the name right now.
"And on the 7th day, God was f--------cked up. So what did he do? He invented Pool"
Shooting Gallery. Shot movie, great line.

I play pool, but I don't get the significance beyond it being a totally "unrelated to the hustle" line that his character would say.
The Baltimore Bullet. Not a great movie but you asked. There is a great line IMHO in the movie. See my post #27 in this thread.

I don't there was any other meaning besides actual body weight.I play pool, but I don't get the significance beyond it being a totally "unrelated to the hustle" line that his character would say.
Some guys are creating something out of nothing.
..
I'm with you.
I always took it at him making a fool of Eddie one last time. Rubbing it in. Making him think he had an important question and want an honest answer, but then he lays some bullshit question down...
Eddie outright asked him if he was a hustler. Dude never answered that question. Then at the end he asks eddie if he needs to loose some weight? Kinda like "does a bear shit in the woods?". And of course the answe is yes. As he laughs at eddie whilst walking away.
Pretty obvious he finally answered eddies originol question.
Yes, he was a hustler.

Probably a good interpretation, but I wouldn't go so far as "pretty obvious". (Not a whole lot goes over my head...I'm 6'5". Perhaps this did. LOL) He'd talked about volunteering for experiments and echoed Fast Eddie's statements a few times. Struck me as either an eccentric question, or like Icon of Sin mentioned, a last tweak with a pseudo-serious but bullshitty question.
I always interpreted that as he took a bunch of money off of Eddie, hence now he "weighed" more. Also implying he was in fact a hustler.

I recognized that he was, in fact a hustler.
It was the ambiguity of the line that was in question. Note that there have been several reasonable interpretations of it, yours included.

I don't think anything he said was meant to have a second meaning, he was more messing with his mark with that question after beating him out of money.
