I just have to play "this guy" some.

Oddly enough I stay away from just about all of the types that are mentioned. When I shoot pool I want a challenge. I don't like playing people that I can beat all night. What good does that do me? I need someone that I can ride along with or someone that wins more sets than me. I guess the challenge appeals more to me.

times're getting tougher you might start seeing more guys that can play hanging out in the bars trying to make a quick buck

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.

I know a guy with a florescent green cue that would wipe out most of the az community:D .
Oh, I have a flourescent McDermott soft case with the name "Harry Sacks" written in marker on it.

Anyone that tells me they paid their way through college playing pool.

Anyone that says "Let's play some for fun first to seey how you play."
i always said" i'm better than this i paid my way thru school playing pool." not as many people would ask what school, as would ask what college.
another was " i have an uncle who's a pool shark."

There was a good hustler who came into the pool room recently, and he was thought to be this type of player.

His first question in the pool room was, "What are they doing sliding that penny around the rail like that?" That's weird.
 
I've decided that if I ever own a pool hall, I would have one pink table reserved for any and all of the above mentioned players. Anyone that doesn't know the rules...to the pink table until you graduate!

Take that eight ball spinners!

And anyone who comes in with their cue held together with a rubber band can give me the six out. :-)


Someone coming in like that can usually handle a stick and beware if there is tape all over the butt.
 
anyone that bring a $2000 cue to an APA night....

The guy that told me that I'm "holding" the cue wrong referring to a closed bride...

The guy that told me that the cue I was playing with is cracked from the inside when hearing the sound of the hit of an ivory joint and ferrule cue...

anyone who scoops the CB when trying to jump...

anyone who sees me putting together a two piece cue and asks me if it's a Balabushka...
 
The guy who takes the tray of balls and dumps them all at once on the table. I usually yell out "you wanna play some?" when i see that. Not that i want to play him-just get a laugh from whoever im with.

The guy who tells his partner on a 45 degree cut-shot-. "Just make it and leave the Cue Ball right there".

How about the guy who uses the but end of to make a space between the cue ball and the rail. Like they do in minuature golf.
 
even after such a thorough list 4 pages long, you guys are too picky. The one that I want to play some....anyone. I'd probably get annoyed with a buncha the "types" that are listed, but I wouldn't exclude them, at least for a few games. I realize this thread is more about who y'all think you can ROB, but that's not how I look for play.

PS. the post about the penny being pushed around the table...that IS weird - I use the same 1968 dime for that :)
 
I can't believe this one isn't in here yet:

Anyone who says "You're a SHARK!!!" meaning a good player.

You mean you can't do that?


How about the guy that picks up the object ball frozen to the rail near the point on the side pocket, brushes the felt under it, and puts it back away from the rail so it is an easier shot to make.
 
And how about the guys that grip an object ball so it won't move while bridging over it... :eek:
 
How 'bout the guy who...

...uses his hip to bump the table on a jawed ball.

That should be so illegal- I mean at some point, there will be a ball that falls as a result of the hip bump but as far as i can tell, it's legal. I suggested it be addressed in the new rules but wasnt even given a response.

Oh yeah-one more- Anyone who calls Sarah Ellerby 'Velvet'

The guy who lifts up one side of a barbox and drops it to the ground to get a stuck ball out.

(...and then complains that the table isn't level).

The sideline "coach" spouting bad advice to people who didn't ask for it.
