A few weeks back we made a new friend in one of the leagues. He is a little odd (IOW we butted heads at first). At first I thought he was a total hustler whining that he got kicked out of a game for sandbagging then always talking about making bets and bets and bets. I don't like to bet and don't care for gambling. I was a little annoyed at what seemed like his constant fixation with betting on games. Until finally one day we are all hanging out at the pool hall and someone starts stalking D. We played on 3 different tables in a huge hall and they wouldn't let up. Suddenly I started feeling bad for D, he can't enjoy our game and our company and these sharks are hassling him constantly (for at least 30 minutes). Finally, he caves
and wins money.
Fair enough, Now I'm feeling some sympathy for D. Fast forward to last night. D and my hubby are playing and sure enough the sharks come out, and start talking smack. (I spent most of the night on a bar stool, on the cell phone) Next thing I know these 2 come out and say they want to play Dave and I :angel: against him and his bud. Somehow D knew I wouldn't play for money, so they agreed to play for a round of drinks.
I'll spare you the details but we won 2 games and a pitcher:yeah:. Then 2 sharks came after us again :shrug: This pair wanted to play w/ D and hubs
I'm positive they were all trying to hustle us... but IDK. When we were stroking for the shot. One of these characters would randomly wonder his way towards the pocket I was shooting and do stuff like, put his drink down beside the pocket, lay his hand on the pocket or near the cushions or make some sort of hand gesture or movement while in our line of sight. I didn't care for that sort of thing :angry
I'm challenged enough on my own). On my 8 ball I nicely asked him where to move. In the end it was fun. Here and there I was a little unsure of these characters. Often times we run in to people who want to play with us, but never for money.
I just had to share with you guys. It's about as close as I get to the hustle:thumbup:. Thanks for reading.
