So Im playing at my local pool hall tonight with a buddy of mine. Well my buddy isnt very good, as a matter of fact, he is plain awful, but we are just having fun. My buddy gets tired and wants to leave, so I took him home, and decided to go back to the pool hall. I have been playing on the Gold Crown 9' tables every time I go in there, and tonight I decided to play on a barbox so my buddy could enjoy it more. As we were bangin balls, there was a small weekly tourney going on. 2 of the top three, including the winner, were from "out of town". So after I took my pal home, and came back, I was shooting alone on the barbox. One of the "out of towners" was playing a money game against a local, and the other was shooting on a GC. The guy on the GC asked me if I wanted to shoot a little, and I said sure, but I dont gamble. As we played, he explained where he was from, and who he was, and he was a likable guy. Now Im no detective, but it became clear that his whole story was a show, lol. He let me win a few, and I really racked his nerves when I asked "so where are you guys really from?" I pegged him, and he knew it, but I didnt get too into it, he denied that he had a noticable accent, and so on. Anyhow, knowing that I was seeing through the smoke, he proceeded to show me his true speed, and laid a brutal ass-whoopin on me that I have never before encountered. It was a blast though, and as I was leaving, I couldnt help but notice there was one vehicle parked the wrong way. I walked over to the vehicle, and sure as hell, those guys werent even from our state, let alone a town a few hours away, lol. I laughed and grinned on the short drive home, at 4:30am. My first known encounter with a true road hustler.
