We all know the signs that are a dead giveaway for someone you just have to play. Here are a few for me. By the way, I often do these things so I am the "mark" also.

1. Any flourescent cue or case.

2. Rack twirlers.

3. Cuetech. Period.

4. Chalk holders.

5. Anyone louder than me.

6. Anyone that can drink with me and still hold a cue.

7. And lastly, anyone that asks what you are ranked.


As I mentioned earlier, I have also done every one of these things to create action. Let's hear some more.

I use a home made chalk holder so people don't think I'm putting the house's chalk in my case or try to grab my chalk. Other than that I don't make the list.
 
Anyone that says they have a $3,000.00 Excalibur pool cue
Anyone that gets mad because you have your own chalk
Anyone who calls a "split" when two balls are close together
Anyone that takes the easiest shot with ball-in-hand
 
I use a poket chalker for the simple reason that the local places I go dont have master. Oh by the way......around here if you dont do any of the things you talk about you cant get any action around here so when in rome...........

You got me on that one, I carry a small bottle of baby powder in my case and I couldn't care less about the ingredients.
 
anyone quoting lines from tcom or poolhall junkies after every shot.


I heard a guy using the "an evening ago it was like an evening at the apollo in the mfer" line from pool hall junkies. I wanted to slap him.

ive also heard "even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while" line before. after making a routine cut.


I hate guys who do that
