One time I was palying a guy some 9 ball. I started smelling the rats. I went to his face and told him in a whispering voice," don`t try to hustle a hustler. you are a fool if u think u can hustle me".

The problem is the bookie was trying to hustle a hustler, but didn't know his mark was a hustler, so he was outhustled by the better of the two hustlers. Anyone who has seen the Floyd Hustling Video will know the best spot for Hustler to be in is when he meets a fellow hustler that doesnt know he is a hustler so the hustling can begin and the better hustler can hustle the worse husltler out of what he hustled the even worst hustler out of.

Its all crystal clear to the best hustlers.

Lenny, if you understood that, I'm taking 9-7.

I am seriously getting dyslexic in my reading ability. I read that as, "I started smelling Farts".

I was thinking, ok, this guy has a unique hustle going.

Maybe I read too fast.
 
Check out the you tube videos of pretty boy trying to hustle where he got the worst of it. At some point he even said he thought he was stealing. Its one handed nineball from the derby some years ago. Dont know how to post a link but he was playing terry heath i think. First name might be wrong, saw it years ago.
 
Anyone know why Ewa chose to keep Mataya as her middle name after they split? I'd be kinda peeved about that if I were Jim Lawrence lol

Name recognition? She made a pretty good, marketable reputation when she was still Ewa Mataya...

He's never been beaten in his life for the big cash, apparently.

Bad info. He came up at The Rack - the biggest action room in the history of planet earth. He's a former world champion and also a professional gambler. He's one of the sharpest tacks in the box, poolbum.

Timmy Heath. At that point, Mataya was 59 or so. (This was just two years ago, I believe)

I'm know this doesn't need to be said with you -- but just in case for...others -- Timmy is a great player, but he would have been drawing dead against Mataya back when Mataya was playing. Floyd makes too much moolah in other areas to be bothered w/ pool anymore, sadly. He prob picked a gaff game to play Timmy just for something to do and stepping into one. I'm hoping that wasn't the year where Timmy was wearing the Goofy hat in the action room --- that should have told Mataya right there that Timmy had watched his video and was edumacated.
 
I don't know how much of a Floydster I am but I always like watching that video and like listening to him commentate a game. I can't remember which one it was, quite old most likely but he was sitting beside Danny Delaberto and between the both of them, had me laughing my butt off. Between him and Danny, it was like comedy hour. Danny was his side kick and taking the brunt of it.

I know it was an older ring game, DCC perhaps with many notable players in it. It should still be on UTube if you type in, billiard/ring game.

Watching this video does not do Jimmy Mataya justice. If you had never seen this guy in action in his better days, then you truly missed quite a show. Ive written on AZ about the time I was in Chicago in 1992 and saw Mataya in action. Here is a cut an paste from that earlier post plus ill edit it a bit to add a bit more details.

I saw Mataya in 1992 at the Willards Tournament, only back 15 years ago he was still able to back up his talk. He beat Francisco Galindo for 1k and then beat another great Mexican player back to back. Those two matches I would pay good money to have a tape of them now.

There was a large mexican group in Chicago. That event was the largest pool tournament in history and it drew players from everywhere. During the two matches that I saw Mataya play he spent AT LEAST 10-20% of the total time it took to play this match woofing at the mexican sidelines.

At one point Mataya is on the hill and has a really tough 8 ball. The 8 is roughly in the center of the table just past the side pockets. The cueball lays up against the end rail in the center and the nineball lays next to it. Cutting the 8 into either corner with follow looks like a dead scratch. So Mataya looks at the shot, strokes it like 20 times and then gets up off the ball and proceeds to woof at the mexicans about how great he is and how no one can beat him etc.

He then gets down again and its a replay of the prior time...20-30 strokes, gets up and starts woofing again. He tells them that he is the best player "IN ALL OF ME-HE-CO" and that after he was done here you and you and you are next <pointing to various players on the sidelines>.

I was with a buddy and we both were just flabbergasted how any player could play in this manner. So after all that extended woofing he finally gets back down on this super tough shot, jacks up, strokes it like 20 times and then FIRES it into the corner, drawing and spinning the cueball three rails to get dead perfect position for the nine. Mataya then runs around to the other side of the table, whips the cue behind his back and one stroke fires in the money ball shouting to the Mexican players "AM I NOT ZE GREEEATEST PLAYER IN ALL OF MEI HI CO!!!! "

I gotta tell you, it was real entertainment.

At this same tournament I also saw Mataya flip Jamie Goodwin for $1,000 and win.

Say what you will about him from watching this youtube video, but Jimmy Mataya did not have to have the brazilians to get up and bet something and he played fantastic money pool from what I saw in chicago.

In 70s Billy Johnson, Billy " No Saint" Incardonaa and Jimmy Mataya were the top players in USA both for cash and the tornaments. Many people avoided Jimmy because they did not have a chance against him when playing for cash.

In the yester years it was not uncommon for some players to intentionally lose the matches in the first rounds. They intentionally lose the match primarily to lure the suckers from the bleachers for after hours matches and they don`t have any intention of bumsteering the Bookies.
