Love it!

One of the funniest things said to me after I beat a guy 7-2 was, "I gave you six games." to which I replied, "and I certainly do appreciate it." :-)

A few years ago a guy in our pool room was playing John Schmidt for something like $20 a set. The guy couldn't play and had asked John to match up. John gave him the 5 ball and won the first two sets 7-0, then gave him the 5 and out and won the next two 7-0, and then the guy says, "will you give me the 6 ball and double the bet?" John declined. The house man said to the opponent "you should have offered him (John) $100 for a lesson, you would have learned more than how to rack."

BTW 150 and out is very impressive. Something worth paying time for. :-)

Reminds me of the Lassiter story where he plays this stranger, wins the flip, runs out the set and the guy says. Ill play you again but i need the 8. Lassiter says -" I can't give you the 8, i never seen you shoot"
 
Recently started in a BCA league. Never met or played this guy before but he lost the game before playing me. You could see that he was fuming and a sore loser. When I played him I won. He said "I just got this new cue and am trying it out. If this match really meant anything I would not be using it".

He also lost his next game. He rattled a pocket with 4 of his balls left and the player on our team ran out. He said after that game "On any other table that ball would have been in and I would have won".
 
I like good pool against good opponents. I don't mind losing if I didn't give the game away ( like 1-9 combination in 9-ball). This one time in a local tournament, I had only one life left and the guy who I was playing against is a good player. I break and don't pocket anything...he ran out 1 to 9. After the game I said "That was some beautiful game there, congratulations for the nice run out"...he replied "Hey I guess your ass must be sore now heh!"

Or another time, I won a game and said "good match"....he said "my ass!!"

One night I beat a guy for eight games straight for $10 a game at a bar. As he paid me for the last game he said. "Thanks for the games, I really enjoyed them."
Only other thing that funny to me was when I was a nurse and would give someone a shot with a one inch or more needle, they would say "Thank you." I never could understand that. Johnnyt:D

In both of the above cases, even though it may sting, the wise know that they came away healthier or smarter.

I always thank someone when I've been beaten. Those are the games I usually learn the most from!

I will admit, though, that it is somewhat funny to thank someone for a shot with a big needle... I had allergy shots in the same arm, every weekend for about 2 years. Nowadays when I get a shot, I request to have it in the same spot on that arm, as there is no feeling left whatsoever! :o
 
I find it weird when they laugh, like they thought they were the better player afterall. Then after losing straight games, they laugh less.
The drunk ones who want to buy you drinks and be your best friend and I'm not in the mood. I just want to kill. But othertimes its taken me to some decent eateries with liquor and even clubs so what the?
 
One afternoon I was playing in a little local tournament on 9-foot tables. I was matched up in the winner's bracket against a pretty good player who I was playing even in a race to seven 9-ball.

The score was 6-2 me when he rattled a 6 ball and I ran out for the win.

After the match he told me, "That 6 ball cost me the match. If I win that game the score is 6-3 with me breaking and I figure I can run out the set from there." He was dead serious.

WTF...!?!!? LOL

The guy hadn't made 5 BALLS in a row much less run four RACKS.

That cracked me up.

I had an guy say something similar to me. I was playing a 5-2 race in a league match and won 5-0 pretty quickly. I broke and ran 3 of the racks and ran out the other two after his first miss. He made a total of 5 balls in the 2 games (3 in one, 2 in the other).

After the match, he looked me right in the eye and said "I had that match". Incredibly, he was serious. I asked him which of the games he thought he should've won and he didn't have much to say.

Heard this story a while back. Two pros lag for the break (14.1). The winner of the lag makes the other guy break. The guy breaks and leaves a makeable shot. The other guy makes the shot, breaks the pack and clears the table. He goes on to run 150 and out. The guy who blew the opening breakshot says "I gotta work on my lag."

Sounds like Zuglan/Sigel.
 
Four local league teams were playing their matches one night and a couple of guys match up to gamble a little after their matches ended. One guy starts to really pull away, and the other guy starts trash talking, pissing off the guy who is winning. After the guy loses three sets, he is griping as he is putting up his cue. The other guy comes over and rubs it in his face a little by saying, "Man, even my mother could have beat you tonight!" They guy replies, "Bring her on, MF." Guess who was playing on his team. Up walks Mom, who proceeded to beat the buy 2 out of 3 sets! Everyone is rolling by the end of the match, and the guy loses it completely and leaves humiliated. We still ride him about it, and it was at least 3 years ago. My grandkids will probably hear about that one.

ROFL... that one is great!!
 
i actually thought hard about this one day, i mean to say i thought what i should say when i get beat in a tournament. i finally came up with "good luck," and that little time thinking has paid off so much ever since.

the reasons for my statement:

i harldy ever think my opponent shot good when they beat me, im sorry, but 99% i feel this way, so i dont say "nice shooting," just "good luck"

its pleasant and shows you're not a sore loser (even though deep down i really am).

anyway, i thought this was a good thread and wanted to add WHAT (not what not) to do when you lose imo.

just say "GG"

When I lose, I always say good game to the opponent and good luck in the remainder of the tournament. I figure whether I think I blew it or not is irrelevant to my opponent at that point. So I just say good game and good luck.

When I win I just say good luck in the next match if it is on the winner's side and better luck next time if on the losers side.
 
River City Open

I watched Louie Roberts and Danny DiLiberto play a one pocket match in Austin. It was a race to two. Danny broke left Louie what looked like a 95 degree cut into his pocket. Louie cut it in like a 9 ball break and ran out. Danny broke again and Louie ran the second rack starting with another 'impossible' shot. About this time the announcer calls for entrants to the 'second chance' one pocket tournament. Danny turns to the stands and says, "I'm glad. I'm pretty happy with the way I've been shooting. I'm getting in it." The best part was 10 minutes later when a guy showed up to ask where Louie was with the cue he had loaned to him only to be told Louie had sold it to a spectator and was headed out for cocktails...........
 
I dont know how funny this is but it makes me chuckle...I had built up a really good reputation in my local pool hall as being one of the top shooters there..this was just in my local area..nothing to brag about..but i was really good..The guys in the pool room created a statue of me a little black Budda doll holding a pool stick..i guess cause i have a bit of a belly ..( i didnt find it all that F^&@!ing funny :) ) any way..i was driving thru my home town comming from Southhill Va. , went there looking for a money game..as i stoped by the local pool room in Victoria Va. they were just getting ready to start a little 10 dollar entry fee tournament..so i said what the heck i will shoot...i was tired but just wanted to catch up on old times..well there is this guy who can barely pick the ball up and drop them in the pocket..I play him in the loser bracket.. i wasnt even really shooting ..talking to old friends while i shot..i doged a simple 6 inch form the pocket 9 ball and i laughed and told him "You only have to win one more game and you can tell everyone that you beat a legend" so what do you know..he actually runs three balls for the win..i congragelate him, shake his hand, announce loudly across the pool room ..He beat me everyone..tell the guy his game is getting better...just trying to encourge him to keep playing...now any other time with just half of my game i would beat the ever living shit out this guy...5 days later my brother calls me at my home in Richmond Va...and says ...TOny..man you have got come down here and put this guy in his place..he is telling everyone that he beat u and that you are no longer a threat on the pool table.. I mean 4 people called me from my home town to tell me the wolf tickets this kid is sellign everyone..im going down there this weekend to put an end to his boasting.and let him know that you dont get a statue made for you cause you cant shoot.. but I know he wont play me for money...i dont care if its for a dollar im gona wax em......wow this post was longer than i thought it was gona be..he he

The town i am in interesting to say, they have FREE 9ball tournaments, well you see alot of BANGERS playing in them who think thier the shit lol, and they will pull of some miracle 6 rail slop on the 9ball and strut around like they are Johnny Archer, and they wont know who he is lol.

Or they Snap the 9ball and act like they ment it.

Or the ones who beat a guy 4-1 or 4-0 or something only because the other person would miss on the 7 or 8ball and leave the guy 2 balls to shoot at, and they strut around like they just kicked the other guys ass when they only really pocketed 10balls outa all the games played lol.

Now i usta say to people when i would lose on stupid crap like the 6rail slop combo, i would shake hands and walk off,, saying,,," Only on a fukking 7ft table can you beat me playing like that "
