Well I guess I'm human...
Saturday night I snag my case and head up to the pool hall to meet up with a friend. I'm shooting with my buddy for about an hour when in comes this guy that we all know. I consider the guy a friend but you have to take his personality with a grain of salt. You all know the type, a decent player at best who thinks he is god?s gift to pool. He barks more than a chiwawa whenever I see the guy.
No matter how much I beat this guy and put him out of tournaments he still woofs. He only does this when there are others around. He is not a money player by any means. He donates his 5 dollars to a tournament and his 100 for his membership to play unlimited table time. The guy thinks that playing for nothing gives him bragging rights.
He comes over to the table and starts up on me. I tell him lets play a little and I will play him cheap if he wants. He tells me ?maybe a little later but I want to spank you a little at some rotation?. I say fine and proceed to crush him at 15 ball rotation then in one hole which is his preferred game.
After we were done I looked at him and said ?Is there another game you would like to get beaten at?? This pissed him off pretty good and then said let?s play for money then. He wants to play 8 ball race to three for 5.00 which I laughed at. I told him that since you are Mr. big dog how about a race to 11 for 100.00. He told me he didn?t want a long race. I then said well if you are supposed to be the stronger player than a longer race is what you should want. He then offered a race to 5 for 20.00 which I agreed to. I figured that would be fine since I planned to be out till 2:00am and this wouldn?t break him early. The first set he manages to beat me 5 to 3. I couldn?t believe that the guy managed to get every single roll possible. I put up another 20 knowing that he is shooting way above his ability and this will not last.
What drives me nuts about this guy is his poor pool etiquette. Woofin before the game and even after is one thing but to do it during a match pisses me off. When I miss a shot I may be mad at myself but I do not make a bloody production out of it. He hoots and hollers for a few minutes and says the ?DROP IT AND I?M OUT!? Line which I find funny because the point is that you missed and it is my shot so please sit down, have a snickers bar and a warm cup of shut the F*%# up.
The next set he breaks and runs out the first 2 racks and manages to win the following 2 since he ran down to the 8 ball and put it in front of a pocket littered with my balls that did not have a hole. It?s now 4-0, I then rally back 4 games and went to lights out mode. The hill match I break and do not manage to sink anything. He runs 6 then I run 7 back on him. He gets pretty lucky on a safe and makes me kick 3 rails. I manage to hit the 8 and make a legal shot but he had a duck and took the easy 2 ball out.
I then go to rack up another sent and I notice he is breaking down his stick. I looked at him and said you are not seriously quitting me after only 2 sets are you??? With a smug look he said yup I need to go. I was utterly disgusted. I told him that maybe next time you might let me know what time you plan on quitting since you are usually here till 2am and it is only 9:30 right now. This goes back to that ?quitting winner thread? The thing is that he knew he was shooting better than he should and that in the long run that would not continue. He has absolutely no endurance for anything over an hour and a half. I suppose that may have been somewhat smart since he knows I can play hours upon hours for money and it is just a matter of weathering the storm which I was pretty sure was over by looking at the last 5 games. Well needless to say I told him he was a piece of crap and not to come over to me again if he is going to ask me to play him cheap.
I did get the last laugh though?. After I walked away from him I went to the bar to pay for my table time (It is charged by the individual not the table). I paid my 15 bucks and asked for 40.00 back. The owner knew that we were playing for something since he saw the markers and people around us were talking as well. He asked me if I lost 40 and I said yup. Wayne then said good that means when he drops the balls off I?ll charge him 15 bucks as well since you are not allowed to gamble on membership. LOL, I told him good and I will stick around just to see his reaction. Man when he came out he was pissed that in the end he only got to keep 25.00
He then proceeded to tell me that I owe him 15.00 which I politely told him to shove it
I then advised him that if you have the balls you may have had 200.00 in your pocket which 15.00 would not have been a big deal
