I Love Those Wannabe Bar Hustlers

[poolstar31]

Ive got one, not real funny but a good score.

About a year ago I was with my girlfriend in a bar in Orlando, in the
tourist part of town. Im just beating balls around with her, but Im
winning most games because she cant play at all. ( If she thinks I let her win she gets mad)

So, this big guy walks up and say in a real loud voice,
" I seen you beating up on your lady friend and thought Id come over and beat up on you!"

I looked at him and said,

If you want to try and beat up on me, were gonna have to play for $50 a game. So he says $50?!! How about $100 a game 9 ball.
So we played for hours and I took him for $700. It was a battle, but things went my way. The guy actually played pretty good. I was happy to come out ahead.

Turns out the guy was a tourist on vacation and a good sport.

I had an interesting experience with a wannabe hustler one night a few years back. I went to the bar with the intention of hanging out with my girls team on my night off. While I am watching their matches, a group of guys setup at a nearby table. One of the guys starts watching the girls league match and wants to know if any of us play for money. Being there on my night off, I was not interested in playing and don't normally gamble much anyway. His friend was persistent, claiming that he wanted his friend to get beat by a girl because his friend really thinks he plays well.

After some pressure from the girls, I reluctantly give in and decide to play. He wants to play $50 per game 8-Ball on an 8-ft table. Not knowing him and not being a big gambler, I tell him I'll play for $20 a game. He ends up being a decent shooter and do to some mistakes on my part, wins the first game. I end up winning the next 3 or 4 games and he wants to bump the beat. I was still a little reluctant, thinking I may be getting hustled, but since I am up, agree. At $50 a game, I win several more games of 8-Ball in a row and now he wants to switch to 9-Ball. We switch and I proceed to win again, now I'm up to $320 in his money, with him paying up after each rack. At this point, he has no money of his own, so borrows $100 for his friends and wants to play one game of rack your own 9-ball for all of it. I agree, being up so much and proceed to break and run for the cash. He goes to the ATM to get more money and it is broken!!! I take his last $100 and unfortunately have to quit. I was $420 winner is about an hour and from what his friends told me, he might have gone off for at least $1000.

I stay and chat with the guys after the money is dry. They thought that they were going to hustle a girl that "thought she could play". Unfortunately, they in turn got hustled.

i'm thinking you and I could make a lot of money if I brought you to my goldmine listed above:grin:

Why is it that everytime someone asks you to play in a bar, and you end up winning, they accuse you of hustling them. I can understand if you asked them to play, or if you set them up, but not when they asked you. Ive tried many times to explain to them the meaning of hustling, to no avail. Now I dont even bother.


You always get the same stupid line, "You hustled me!". No dumbass I beat you, theres a huge difference.

One time I went into a bar and there was a guy there and he asked me to play some $100 sets. I did and he beat me. And then I paid him. And then I forgot all about it by the next morning and went on to work and am living a pretty good life.

Some variation (I won, he won, amount, etc...) of that story happened every night for about 10 years of my life.

See, here's the thing. The guy in the bar is a grownup. He chose to play pool for money with another grownup. And he lost. I think some people on here are more upset that he lost than he was.

Every pool match has a winner and a loser. Many times they both know who they are before the match even starts. Don't feel bad for either of them. They played because they wanted to have the experience of playing that match on that day for those stakes.

i found my own goldmine recently, a super high end night club in dallas where all the cokeheads roam. They have a table in their basement VIP area where there are a lot of cocky young fellers with lots of money to throw around. 20 a game is standard and easily goes up, not a soul who even has a clue of how to play pool.

cha ching :thumbup:

Can I be UR friend?

I love that story. I wish my fiance could shoot pool. Id make millions:smile:. Guys got too much pride to pull up even when they should.

Women wanting to bet raise big warning bells for me. But hey, there's no harm in putting your toe in the water to feel the temperature. I was walking out of the hall one night with a trophy from the last season under my arm and this girl who couldn't have been more that 20 calls out, "I'll play you for your trophy".

Wow what an odd thing to play for a trophy with some strangers name on it, all that's good for is a story. Anyways, I ask her what she's willing to put up against my trophy and she says $10. I figure what the hell and say ok, let's play on the barbox over here. I ask her if she only want's to play one game or a set and she looks at me like I'm from another planet. Ok, maybe I'd better to get her to post first. I say ok put your money under my trophy on this table and we'll play one game, you can break.

She breaks makes a ball and shoots one more in before she misses and I run out. I take the $10 (which came from her boyfriends wallet) and ask her if she want's to play again. She declined and I head back out to my car. Not a bad 5min detour.

Dcc 2009

Roy Stepphensen, Tal (Da Poet) and I were tossing backs beers when up walks this guy from no where and he introduces himself as KTown D from AZ Billiards and he starts hammering us about his man would play one pocket with any of our guys and we just sit there kind of taking in the moment. We had just got finished talking about Roy's good friend, the Magician and we were just kind of like, "Well, your man will play our man for whatever we want, right? Ktown, was a little buzzed and said emphatically, "Yeah, that's right. Who you got Scott Frost, Tony Chohan?" Each time we said, "No" and that gave him even more confidence and he said, "No problem, go get your man or something like that". Roy, who doesn't have the patience of an ADHD kid asks, "OK, our man is Efren". Ktown D went into one of those O'S**T moments and quickly sobbered up as he said something like, "Well, maybe somebody else". All snockered up with beer, we roared simulataneously like hyenas at a party".

Thanks for one of our special moments Ktown D. You took it like a man.

To Roy: Slow down a little bit and enjoy the journey.

Really didn't think this thread would get these kind of reactions. Now I feel soooo guilty that I'm going looking for the guy to give him his money back . Johnnyt

Yeah, sure.

Enjoy the ice cream. You've already had your cake.

good story

I had to stop in a bar today to talk to a friend about something. While I'm sitting at a table with her I'm watching these two guys betting $10 a game 8-ball on the bar box. I would say one guy was a weak "B" and he was spotting the breaks to a weak "C" player. This "C" guy was in no way a threat to run out very often, but still the "B" guy gave him a jelly-rack each time. My way of thinking is if you give him a jelly-rack so he can't run out, the problem is he makes 1 or 2 balls and gives the table back to you with clusters all over the place so you probably can't run out either. If you have the nuts and the guy can't run out often, give him a good rack to spread the balls open for YOU.

I asked if I could play winner and the "B" guy says, " Ten bucks a game". I say, "Oh I thought you were playing for more than that".
He asks how much I wanted to play for. I said race to 3 for $50. He says you're on. I beat him 3-1, running out twice. He paid me and unscrewed. I love finding wannabe hustlers. Johnnyt

GJ JohnnyT,so I guess you are "back in action" now?

GJ JohnnyT,so I guess you are "back in action" now?

Nah, It was just one of those spur of the moment deals. I'll play in some tournaments coming up and donate. I never was a tournament player. I hated them. You beat one good player because you got the rolls and your action drys up right then and there. As far as getting back in action, I just don't feel it right now. Maybe I'm just too old for all the B/S leading up to a game now. Johnnyt

Hmm...that might be an idea...you'll have to introduce yourself next time we are at a tourney together. I don't think we have met yet.
