The guy you meet outside of a poolroom, who says " you play pool? I play good too, but I can only play when I am drunk"
I love this one. I make the same offer everytime. I say "okay, tell you what, I will buy you as much alchohol that you require to feel really ready to play, and after that we will play for $50 a rack." Noboby has taken me up on it yet.
Or the guy who says " I play all the time, I never lose". Because he is the best D-- player among his 3 friends who can't run 3 balls with ball in hand ever. They have never even heard of sombody running out a rack.
Here is another one I love-
Anyone who says " I am gonna bounce the ball off the wall"
Anyone who can't run 4 balls with both hands insiting to play one handed.
Guys who look for every opportunity to play a shot behind their back.
Anyone who sets up the incredible 8 ball balanced on two object balls on the end rail trick shot, and asks if you can hit the 8 w/o touching the other two. AND ARE SHOCKED WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW IT!
Almost as bad is the 4 in a row by the side pocket trick shot.
Anyone who scoops the cueball and is damn proud of that "jump shot"
Anyone who attempts to power draw the cueball on every shot, just to let you know thay can come close to doing it at least 40% of the time.
Anyone who has to use at least 2 tips of english on every shot, even the money ball
The guy who has to roll EVERY house cue in the place, and still changes it out after every other shot, looking for the "magic house cue"
Anyone who has to rerack an 8 ball rack 4 times and still can't seem to figure out a correct patteren
Anyone who racks 9 ball in numerical order
Anyone who takes the ball tray to the table and dumps over from 2 feet above the slate
