John Barton Playing ATM Right Now

Who is ATM? I'm thinking a bank machine. Hahahaha! I'm out of the loop. I have no idea who ATM is.

One thing about John that I admire, he has no fear when it comes to playing pool. Not to many can step up to the plate like that.

Probably ATM Andy out of Colorado
Andy Pettinger, a pretty good player
Obvious how he got his nickname

ATMs are usually good for the money though. When I first moved to Colorado and was looking for a little action, his name was mentioned to me several times as a notorious stiffer. People talk about it like its funny because I guess he’s a likeable guy. No thanks.

He is likeable for sure
One of the best players in Colorado
Typically has a backer, and he does some whacky shit.

One time I bought a jump/break cue from him for 100 bucks.
A while later he came over to my table, said he was in action, needed the
cue back, and stuffed a 100 in my shirt pocket.
After that match he came back, took the 100 out of my shirt pocket and gave me back the cue.
Oh well, that's ATM

Saw him on the stream in Wyoming and he tore Corey Deuel up pretty good, then
Shane crushed him, I don't think he really got to shoot.
 
ATM is one of those players that is loud and funny.
He plays pretty good also.
If you played him a session of one pocket for cheap like $20 a game and he stiffed you for the last $20 most players wouldn't care because you would have gotten some great entertainment for the $20.
He does have a dark side.
I beat him a set in a round robin 9 ball tournament and he got really mad.
He followed me outside screaming that i wasn't half the player he was.
I ignored him.
 
I am pulling for John barton

he is 100 % game,lots of fun
lots of action too

Go John


thanks for the cases, I love my new Hustler cases

He still owes me from the last time we played.
 
Just out of curiosity - was the play displayed by Andy Pettinger against John Barton his usual speed?

ATM runs hot and cold. On a 9 foot table he might run two or three racks, then make a couple of stupid mistakes in a row.

Like the time he was on the hill with Gabe and changed the bet
without talking to his backer.
