Goose, go ahead and play for a while without letting the excuses get the best of you. It can be tough to swallow a little pride or to think that maybe the other person just got lucky, but it'll be the best for your game. The sooner you take charge of the situation, the more you'll focus on your own game. Instead of seeing that 4 as a potential 6, you'll be the 6 wondering why somebody wasted a 4 on you. Do it or don't, it's obviously your choice. As I told you, one of my friends did that for years and stagnated until he started to change his thinking. He still thinks about sandbaggers, but he's taken much more responsibility for his own game and it has shown. Be the guy that gets better.. you can't attack knowledge and expect it to submit, you must accept it and use it. i hear and agree with this statement, my initial question which i hope is clear by now why do people glorify hustlers, but it looks more and more like people here feel cheatins alright. not saying this is your personal belief, honestly. i understand the importance of hard work, i cheated my share in school, but never at no ones expense but mine. and like i said before, if a man cheats me, especially out of my money, then there's gonna be problems, i guess unless it was Johny Archer the scorpion himself he's sooo dreamy,
I can get into a pissing match as quickly as anyone, but I enjoy pool, I enjoy playing league and I believe that most players want to improve. Have a good weekend. u2
"Wow", and it gets even weirder. All this after just a month.
The fact is that not everybody does things on the up-and-up and there will always be people that look up to them. The 'hustle' is a part of gambling. It's got a bigger part in pool due to the nature of the game(skill that you can readily see). Some people get upset if you mention their mama, but will hand over hundreds without a word. Others will start fights over who's quarters were up next. It's a strange world with strange people, we're just in it. There are many different types of hustlers and not all of them are looking to take you to the cleaners. Some have particular targets even.

Some people watch Mob Wives, too.
As somebody else pointed out, hustling is one thing, cheating is entirely another. A hustle can rely heavily on the opponent thinking that *they* are the ones about to make a score. It's kinda cannibalistic like that, good gamblers eating the bad ones.
