Let me ask you something if you think you're so damn smart to throw around the names of Pro's from other sports as if that gives your bullshit some kin of validation. Did basketball start out with PRO'S? Did baseball start out with PRO'S? Did golf start out with PRO'S? How about football, did that start out with PRO'S? YOU and the mentality of everyone like you, by the millions are the set back to pool becoming a real sport. Pool is older than all the sports Isited above, and yet.....400+ years later, is still so unorganized it's sickening, and it's all because of property like you, because you refuse to show this sport the respect it deserves.....and get the hell out of the way and let there be some organization brought forth that DOES separate players by skill level so that there's no doubt that if someone is called a Pro, it's because they've earned that right! Not to be mistaken by someone who just simply says....I play at Pro level....because you can beat everyone at your local bar. When someone asks, what does it take to be a Professional pool player....instead of 35 pages of bullshit answers and ideas, the answer would be as simple as....show the world you have more skills that the top 128 players in the world currently holding the rank of "PRO" status!!!! That my dear boy is what draws the line between SEMI-PRO....and "PRO"....leaving the rest of the worlds players in the sandbox with the rest of us "AMATEURS " THEN, AND OLNY THEN will this sport have a chance of gaining the sponsors it so richly deserves making PROFESSIONALS the money and endorsement deals they've earned, just like all other PROFESSIONAL SPORTS FIGURES!!![/QUOTE

There is no money in POOL poor mans game the money is in
Snooker where the players make millions if they are good

And it takes about 3 months to win the World Snooker Championship unlike pool which is 3 days for a world 10 ball tournament

Skins, this is a thread about dishonesty. If your buddy makes a living on or around tables i would be willing to bet hes the guy that cleans up the tables between customers. Or some maintenance type. But true to the stereotype, he has insinuated he is a player/hustler.
To tell a guy youll do all the talking and he would be feeling what you are talking about confirms the cheap dime store pettyness.
For all we know the OP is 7 foot tall and a rock solid 400 pounds.
Yup. Pretty sure this guy sweeps felt and throws away empty beer cans. Its always the guy with 12,000 posts that tries to tell others how it is when its obvious he lives behind the keyboard.

Never said he was my "buddy".. I never met the man "Mike" but I do know of him and what I will say is I'b bet dollars to dougnuts the guy knows more and has a feel for more about every aspect of the game than you ever will BECAUSE of his last 33 years. Now if you took me up on that bet, THAT could turn out to be the true hustle..;)

Dont know about the OP, but RKC(from what i hear) is about that size - like a gorilla lol.
You're gonna feel pretty stupid when you fiqure out what he does......I think you already know
 
Think i hit it on the head. I retired from a job where i had to profile stupid people. I got pretty good at it. Now i can spot em when i walk into the room.
Still wouldnt make it right for me to use that talent to take advantage of them.
Fellas, this debate has ran its course. Im bored.

Bye bye then
 
This idea that pool does not do well with the general public because of pool hustlers and its reputation is nonsense. America loves hustlers it is the result of capitalism. We just had the banks and wall street rob us of trillions of dollars in a gigantic hustle. We have one of the greatest hustlers of all time about to be elected president. I saw Fats in person and Trump sounds just like him. All of these giant corporations are spending millions rigging the system in their favor. We are awash in hustlers they are everywhere seeking to deceive and make money. The whole financial system is corrupt. The only thing that keeps it in line at all are regulations. It is no coincidence that pool had its greatest resurgence after the movie the "Hustler" came out.
Pool is not popular because it is boring to watch. I have been playing pool for 50 years and I can't stand to watch rotation pool because nothing ever happens but near perfection. No great shots, no banks, no combinations, no caroms just near perfect shot making and position play, one shot the break or luck determines the winner on top of all that you have to fade all the safety's . One Pocket is a much more entertaining game and that is why these PPV streams are moving to One Pocket. Also they are basically high stake match ups two pool hustlers playing for high stakes playing a game invented by hustlers. The recent match between Chohan and Bustamonte was the best pool matchs I have ever watched on a stream. No America loves hustlers what we hate is boring. I have to think pool went off the rails when some genius changed the rules to Texas Express. Stop worrying about the so called pool hustlers and focus on how to bring some excitement to the game. I just saw a great one pocket match and one player made a great shot to win the game and showed his excitement and the other player took it as an insult. The players are determined to keep the game boring. Anyone who thinks they are going to fix pool by going around exposing individual hustlers is out of touch with reality

So last night this room's regular, guy A, who can sort of play a little bit is playing this guy B for $50 a game. Guy B is down $650 already when I get there. This is really late at night. The room is packed. Guy B can't play. He's spinning the ball here and there but struggling with simple long shots. Guy B is trying so hard and keeps saying he's gonna win his money back, keeps trying. It was really hard to watch for some reason. Totally different speeds. Guy B definitely wasn't hustling, that was his actual speed. They were playing without a handicap - guy B had zero chance but didn't realize it. Finally I decided to step in and stop the bleeding. ( I thought guy B's ego just didn't know how to throw in the towel. I felt really bad for the guy ).

Guy A had his student there hanging out. So I dragged the student to another table and raced him to 2. I "lost" both games. Then I go back to the main table and start whining - I wanna get in! please race me to 5 for 500! I'm gonna need some weight though. To my shock guy A without negotiating just straight up offers me 3 games on the wire in a race to 5 ( he already knew his student "beat" me ). Wow. What an idiot. ( I'm nowhere near pro speed but significantly better than both guy A and guy B. Unfortunately he only wanted to race for a 100 since he didn't know me. Fine. I wasn't looking for action, I hate gambling - just wanted to stop the bleeding. Guy B lets us race on his table, I easily beat guy A. Take my 100. Guy A says next time we play without handicap. I go sure. Then the idiot guy B just can't wait to get back to the table. He wants to keep playing guy A!! What an idiot. That was his chance to say he's tired. Did you just not witness a guy on a totally different level than you? What are you doing. go home. ( I didn't say that ). I went home. They kept playing. I'm guessing guy B ended up dropping a few thousand.

True enough! I would never try to step in on someone elses action unless I knew them well.

And some more or less stranger stepping in on mine? the rules change.
