Last night my girl and I went down to the local bar for a drink and meet another couple. We are just all chit chatting and the bar owner comes over and starts running his mouth about playing me some pool. Due to my associations with great players some people get the idea that I am a top player too. Now the bar owner I can tell has had a couple of drinks but not wasted. He keeps on at me to play and I keep telling him I'm not in the mood and just having a drink. Eventually I say ok, what you wanna play for? He says its up top me. So I think I may still be able to get out of this if I tell him $50. So I tell him $50 race to 5. He says ok but if i lose i can just pay you in bar credit. I think ok cos if i take care of the nights tab its gonna coast me $50 anyway.

So we head back into the room where the table is at. he opens the table (Just a little BB) I find the best cue I can from the rack and rack and tell him to break. Now he is at the duke box trying to put money in but it wont go in. So he says "Thats it I can't play without music" he keeps going and getting all different kinds of dollar bills, this takes seriously 10-15 mins. I say " Ok well are we done?" he tells me to hold on he got it now. This is when I realize this guy is more drunk than I thought as he is dancing, doing real wannabe hustler stuff around the table thinking he is sharking me. But he just looks dopey.

The first rack he broke and made a couple of balls and I am thinking this may be harder than I thought he actually can make balls and on a BB anyone can win if they can make balls. but then I guess the booze kicked in more and he began missing real easy stuff. All the time ordering more shots back to back and at one point had 3 beers lined up as well.

Anyway I beat him easy shook his hand and we had decided to leave after that anyway. So I go to tab out and tell the waitress who had seen that we were betting and what we were betting for. The tab is $37.00, I tell her he owes me $50 and that I was gonna call this straight and to tell him that. So I gave her a $10 for herself and she tore up the tab.

Now this morning I feel guilty that I took advantage of a drunk guy. Its hard to explain but there was no way for me to get out of it after I realized how drunk he was or he would have wanted my $50. Should I feel bad about this?

Say three Our Fathers and five Hail Marys. :wink:

Not important, you probably did him a favor that he'll soon realize.

$37 bar tab is less than $50 cash out of his pocket. Not calculating real cost of the booze, which of course is much less. He isn't out much, you tipped his help well.

I think you treated him pretty well, actually.

Yes, you should feel guilty. You tried to get out of it, but he kept insisting. You should have played him for $100, and CASH! You should feel guilty for letting him off the hook for running his big mouth. You essentially threw away $50!

Spoken like the christian you are....

I agree, you should feel guilty! (what is the address of the place? ;)). just kidding, it sounds like it all ended well, don't sweat it.

^^^This...you were giving him odds on the money!
 
My 2 cents is :you said your known for hanging around heavy hitters right? sounds to me like he knew he couldn't win, but this way he builds some street cred the cheap way by saying he plays with the big boys.If I were you I'd look at it as a compliment.Andd oh b.t.w. congrats on your comped night out.:thumbup:
 
I would have emptied out his pockets. Play another few more sets. If it was not you...he would have lost his money to someone else.
 
$37.00 is cheap for the lesson, most folks I know including myself would have cut him as deep as he was willing to go. Dont worry yourself if it wasnt you it would have been someone else

No I didn't leave them they came to sweat the match. My girl Jessica is ruthless, she was saying the same thing that I should have busted him more. She wants to go back tonight and find him again :)
