Opinions of Pool/Billiards as a Profession

john, you scream "the china card" like some scream "race" all the time. china had nothing to do with it except your lies were about china. One time you say that cost of shipping eats up all profits and you make no more than US case makers per unit because that supports your argument of the moment. Another time you claim to make a fortune each case because that is what you need to support your argument at the moment. Simply put, you are the one playing the "china card" all of the time! Nobody but you believes you are the poor persecuted innocent. You stalked me to this thread when I wondered off from the one you were ya-yaing on earlier.

You scream lawsuit, you scream china card, mostly you just scream. There is a word that describes female dogs that describes people like you also but that would be twice in a day that I insulted dogs, PETA would be demanding an apology from me.

All of my hustling was passive. I dangled the bait out there. Just like fishing in the gulf, sometimes I got a tiny fish on the line and tossed him back, often I got sucker fish like you that I was fishing for, and once in a great long time I got a big shark on the line. It was all good.

Wasting time typing now. The lawsuit thing is covered, you're just repeating the same lies, and you aren't coming within a hundred miles of me. Boasting on the net is one thing, trying to high roll me is one thing, trying to play me I suspect our mutual acquantances have told you is a very bad idea.

Turn out the lights, the party is over!

Hu

Um nope, you type a lot and don't say much of value. The lawsuit thing is not covered unless you can't be served. But in case you think it is go one and tell more lies about me. Big difference between you speculating on my motivation and ability and making statements of fact that I criminally passed bad checks and defaulted on loans. One is simply your ignorance making it to your mouth while the other one is called defamation of character and is against the law. Not that a self-described thief cares about the law. If you think it's covered then show us how brave you are and post your address. I mean I can find it out easily enough Hu Lowery, but since you think you're untouchable go ahead and post it.

And boy, I will be in Oklahoma City after October 15th permanently. So don't think I am hiding from you in China. All you are is an old broken down tushhog. A self confessed hustling thief. You can come get you some in OKC just as well as I can can come your direction. But I am not coming to play you until you post up. Since you already said you're a five dollar player I don't see it happening.

As for my cases I put in more PEOPLE hours into the cases and the shipping is higher so yes, the NET profit per case is comparable to what a US based case maker might make. Of course that's only an educated case as I have no access to any other case maker's books.

I didn't say I make a lot of money on these cases I said that 10k represents about a week's revenue, which it does if I am doing a show or an event. I didn't say it's a week's profits. And anyway what does it matter because the implication from you is that I am somehow hustling my customers when I am clearly not.

But I guess a confessed thief can't help but to think of other as thieves as well. Makes it easier to justify the "profession" you chose doesn't it.

No one told me trying to play you is a bad idea. Like I said Wolfie, you have an open invitation to play at Lacey's Cue. Do you need directions?

Our mutual friend Joey can officiate, you don't mind having a referee do you? Honest hustler that you are. The day you're ready to put 5k on the light just let me know and we can make some arrangements.

Until then, keep wallowing in your memories. Relish all the times you stole $50 from "baby seals".

john,

As usual your fantasy world is miles from reality. The lawsuit thing I covered was the countersuit just in case you were a big enough moron to sue. I'd never sue over getting butthurt in an internet thread like you threaten to do but I will countersue in a heartbeat if I am sued. Truth is proof against anything but something far worse than I have done. Any suit was already covered. Now do we want to talk about your posts for years? There was a very thin chance that wholesale deletions would take place were you to sue so I took screen shots of all the things you can be sued over. I'll subpoena the databases from AZB and either Mike or Jerry if I am ever served, also request the suit and countersuit be heard at the same time for the sake of expediency, not uncommon. Just how many times have your accounts been suspended or outright banned for malicious and sick attacks on others, john?

Ah, I see about "revenue now", the $10,000 was imaginary revenue, not what you made. Thanks for explaining that. I suppose I have made $90,000 or more a minute according to your way of figuring things, the minute I was handed a check!

You challenged, you know where the game is at if you want it. The same kinda place the stories came from, including the stories about Johnny Archer and other road players. I'll take every penny you bring. You can choose the place within twenty miles of here, you can have your pick of the cues I grab off the wall. It will be just like old times for me. For you, breaking new ground to play like a man without a bunch of off table crap. The months of lies leading up to your game with Lou might be excused. Playing games when it was time to post the rest of the money was what? Oh Yeah, a cheap hustler move! Hiding a top one pocket player behind a column to coach you on strategy? That was below a cheap hustler move!

Funny thing, had you won by some miracle you would be pounding your chest and boasting about how you beat Lou fair and square. You proved you are crooked enough they will have to screw you in the ground to bury you! That is why I won't waste gas coming to the venue where you think you have some freedom to play off table games, and that is why you will never in the hell come up here to my neck of the woods.

I doubt very seriously that Joey would get in the middle of this shitslinging competition if you paid him $5000. He can weigh in if I am mistaken but he has already deleted one post in a thread where you were showing yourself to be a "john barton". I had to think, but no, there is nothing worse I can think to call you than your latest name.

Talk's cheap, in your case cheep, cheep, cheep, like a little birdie!

countersue for what? for saying I believe you were the thief you have claimed you were?

you can not sue me for the fact that you told the world you're a thief. I can see it now......well judge I was telling everyone what a great hustling thief I used to be, it was like clubbing baby seals how I used to take them suckers off....and barton here said he didn't believe me. ah tell ya judge on my honor as a hustler ah would never lie about how good a liar I am....

I have never said a thing about you Wolfpup that is in any way defamatory. you claim you lied for a living and I agree with you that you are a liar and a thief. you said it about yourself and I believe you.

My address in the usa is

John Barton
9108 Indian Creek Dr.
Midwest City, OK 73130

Now you tell me yours and let's see how you like it when you get served with a lawsuit for defamation of character.

fact is you talk tough but you won't put your address on here. you hide like the thief you told us you are which is one more reason to believe you.

john,

I have never called myself a thief. Some fantasy of yours as usual. Got you stretched out to be skinned in a courtroom just using thief but I collected your threats and crap long ago when you threatened law suit, a bit of a broken record. If you were to sue I would countersue and pretty certainly sue for a malicious suit being filed which can pay off mighty handsomely all by itself. I can document you stalking me over and over during a span of years including in this thread. You aren't exactly keeping me up nights with your threats.

I'd refer to playing you as clubbing a baby seal too, you don't have any chance at all. It's called a rhetorical statement john, google it! I do know you love google. The baby seals I clubbed were all the would be hustlers like you. You thought you were messing with a crippled old man with information from the hand you have steering you that hasn't seen me in years. You must have updated your information about my play a bit, your bark has turned into a whimper!

"hustler
noun
A thief or a dealer in stolen goods : and sells to hustlers like Tommy at about one-third its retail value (1825+)

A confidence trickster or swindler, esp one who pretends ignorance of a game where he or she is in fact an expert and sure to win; con man, shark (1914+)"

From Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustling

"Hustling is the deceptive act of disguising one's skill in a sport or game with the intent of luring someone of probably lesser skill into gambling (or gambling for higher than current stakes) with the hustler, as a form of confidence trick."


http://billiards.about.com/od/h/g/h_hustler.htm
"Definition: Someone who conceals their skill level to fleece money from players they “gamble” with, although they are relying on disguised skill rather than a strict gamble or chance match."

And from our dear departed master of the art: http://bankingwiththebeard.com/?p=540

The Beard might not have accepted your self-proclaimed inclusion into the hustler's ranks. But I believe you....I think you were exactly the con-artist thieving sort that the definitions above indicate and which you claim you were.
 
Actually clubbing baby seals is a metaphor. And when used as you used it it means that the task of stealing money from your victims was incredibly easy.

I can see it now,

The Judge: So Mr. Lowery, so you earned a living doing what? Lowery: Your honor I would go into a bar and pretend that I was a bad player so that players who had no chance to win would want to bet with me then I would play good enough to beat them.

Judge: So you deceived them into thinking you were not better than them?

Lowery: No your honor they deceived themselves I just played bad until it was time to play good.

Judge: So if you had played your best from the outset then those players would have not played you as they would have known they had no even chance to win?

Lowery: Of course not your honor, these weren't stupid baby seals after all, they would know a better player if I had played good.

Judge: So you concealed information that a reasonable person would have concluded that betting with you in a pool match was a 100% losing proposition?

Lowery: Yes your honor but understand they wanted to win my money so I only serviced their greed.

Judge: So Mr. Lowery what if I was to sell you a piece of land for a nice low price by showing you a pretty picture and after you paid me you found out that the land was barren and worthless? Would that sit well with you? Would you feel that I had hustled you or would you feel that you deserved to get this worthless piece of land and lose the money?

Lowery: Well Judge you see that could never happen to a hustler because we aren't like the suckers. Only a sucker would buy land he never set foot on. I would never let myself be stolen from like a sucker.

Judge: So the victims of a hustle are suckers Mr. Lowery.

Lowery: Well no Judge, it's not like that, you see the sucker thinks he is the hustler and I am just the better hustler.

Judge: So you only stole from those who thought they were hustling you? You made a middle class income from suckers or other hustlers Mr. Lowery.

Lowery: Well Judge you see it was like this, I was so good that all those other hustlers were like suckers to me. I swear judge I never beat a working man out of a nickle. I would just hang out in those bars and wait for a hustler to show up and make a sucker out him. I promise that's how I did it. I was like a backwoods Robin Hood except I only gave the money to myself.

Judge: So Mr. Lowery you were making about $30,000 a year pre-tax income in 1979 by hustling hustlers in rural Louisiana? And let's see, you did all this at $5 a game?

Lowery: Yes sir your honor that's the story I told.

Judge: And what exactly again is your complaint Mr. Lowery?

Lowery: Well your honor John Barton over there said he didn't believe I was a good of a thief as I said I was.

Judge: Mr. Barton do you not believe this man was a very good hustler?

Barton: Your honor I thought at one time he was full of shit but as I have publicly said I think he was every bit the hustling thief he claims to be. I think he did it exactly as he claims, laying in wait for players he knew he easily beat and then conning them into money games. In pool parlance we call that stealing your honor and I believe that Hu Lowery was the best at it. So good in fact that none of the other good and great players in that area of the country knew about him. No one else from that area remembers him, no one remembers having played him. That your honor is the mark of the greatest hustler's triumph, that no one remembers him.

Judge: Well Mr. Lowery it seems that you have no case sir. This court agrees with Mr. Barton that you were indeed a great hustler. Now I understand that there is a man here with the Internal Revenue Service who wants to talk to you about some undeclared income and back taxes you might owe. Just accompany him to the room over there and y'all work it out. Case dismissed.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Barton vs. Lowery. Defamation of Character.

Judge: Mr. Lowery you claim Mr. Barton illegally wrote bad checks and defaulted on loans. Present your proof please.

Lowery: Your honor someone told me that and well Barton seems like the kind of guy who would do that so I just said it on the message boards.

Judge: So you have no actual proof to back up your defamatory statements about Mr. Barton?

Lowery: No your honor.

Judge: Mr. Barton's claim is upheld. Mr. Lowery you stand convicted of willful defamation and are ordered to pay Mr. Barton $20,000 plus his court costs.

Case closed.

just yanking his chain and doing a good job of it!

this has the potential of being a matchup of epic proportions

john has this fantasy that when others get bored stiff and wander off he has won a thread. The only reason I am still here. Well other than a fantasy of my own that john might grow a pair and play a little fifty a game and go up from there but I don't even have that kind of luck in my dreams!

"john barton",

You continue to indicate your inability to read. Even if one definition of a word is true that is far from meaning all definitions of the word are true. Now that you have admitted that your lack of comprehension is why you use the word thief I will add that to ammo for a countersuit. Thanks for once again showing your gross ignorance.

The judge will shake his head pityingly at you and slap the gaval down. "Cases closed, Hu wins on all counts." "'Mr Barton', I strongly suggest you seek the services of a good doctor immediately and the services of any member of the bar before wasting the Court's time with these ridiculous suits in the future."

On the other hand, there is a fair chance he will tack Contempt of Court onto your other woes. Ignorance is no excuse, especially when it can be proven to be deliberate ignorance!

Hu
 
pots and kettles!

john likes to post two messages to my every one so I'll catch up a li'l bit with a tale of hustling. First a definition of course! :wink:

hustler
[huhs-ler]

noun
1.
an enterprising person determined to succeed; go-getter.

2.
Slang. a person who employs fraudulent or unscrupulous methods to obtain money
; swindler.

3.
Informal. an expert gambler or game player who seeks out challengers, especially unsuspecting amateur ones, in order to win money from them:
He earned his living as a pool hustler.





not so long ago or far away, paraphrased very slightly!

"john barton": "OK Lou, It's a bet! We will let a pool match decide the merits of CTE and who is the better man. Heads up, man to man, a sporting contest."


Then the day of the event:


Lou Is asked for the balance of the bet and hands over his seven thousand like a gentleman.

john is asked for his seven thousand: "I didn't bring it." Well yeah he had but this is his idea of how to behave at a sporting event. He will play games a few minutes before acknowledging he has the money. Class, I'll let everyone else judge what kind as I might be slightly biased.

A little later Lou is beating john like a rented mule. It just happens that next to where john is sitting hid behind a column is a top one pocket player: "Dennis, what the hell do I do now?"

"I don't know john, you can't make a ball in the freaking ocean, probably best to give Lou your stake and save time and embarrassment by going ahead and starting drinking now. If you don't want to do that try not hitting the damned cue ball so hard and play safe off the fifteen." And so on and on and on . . .


john was real proud of dismantling every case makers case he could find to copy their innovations. Unfortunately that technique doesn't work trying to learn to play One Pocket. As a result after doing his best to hustle Lou and indeed hustling Lou, john turned out to be the baby seal! Oddly enough now some people are telling Lou he was stealing. Lou was, but he had no way of knowing that only having john's wild lies about john's play to go by. john went into a full court press indeed trying to get $10,000 from Lou by employing fraudulent or unscrupulous methods to obtain money. (See definition number two above)

john the hustler was beaten by a far better man and a far better player. Without Lou going conservative when he found he was playing Dennis by proxy the score would have been ridiculously lopsided. Often the would be hustler gets his just desserts which is what john is simply too dense to understand. Can't hustle an honest man by acting like a little fish. Would be hustlers are the only people you can hustle like that.


Any way you size it, john hustled Lou. Lou just had far too much firepower compared to john for it to matter. Lou the winner in all respects, john the loser in all respects.

"john barton" = hustler (failed hustler at that!)

Hu
 
Sorry pal, no one thought I had the best of it going in against Lou. Stepping up to play a tough game is the type of action that someone that the hustling thief you claim to be would never do.

The tale of the tape in the match is perfectly clear. If I was being coached then it had to have been the worst coaching on the planet. It's not a matter of not being able to execute the shots it is that I took shots that NO TOP ONE POCKET PLAYER takes WHILE supposedly being coached.

Dennis Spears is a man that plays Allen Hopkins to a draw in one hole. So if he was coaching me then I would have easily beaten Lou.

EASILY.

And if you think otherwise you can just let Dennis coach me and we can play the same way for $20,000.

If you knew Dennis, which you don't, then you would know that he is extremely hard to understand. The way he talks makes it very difficult to understand him unless you know him very well. So to think that he could coach me in the seconds between Lou finishing his shot and me shooting is ridiculous.
 
john has this fantasy that when others get bored stiff and wander off he has won a thread. The only reason I am still here. Well other than a fantasy of my own that john might grow a pair and play a little fifty a game and go up from there but I don't even have that kind of luck in my dreams!






"john barton",

You continue to indicate your inability to read. Even if one definition of a word is true that is far from meaning all definitions of the word are true. Now that you have admitted that your lack of comprehension is why you use the word thief I will add that to ammo for a countersuit. Thanks for once again showing your gross ignorance.

The judge will shake his head pityingly at you and slap the gaval down. "Cases closed, Hu wins on all counts." "'Mr Barton', I strongly suggest you seek the services of a good doctor immediately and the services of any member of the bar before wasting the Court's time with these ridiculous suits in the future."

On the other hand, there is a fair chance he will tack Contempt of Court onto your other woes. Ignorance is no excuse, especially when it can be proven to be deliberate ignorance!

Hu

If you think so you have my address. Where is yours? Seems to me that you are afraid of getting sued Lowery.

And you know exactly what definition fits you boy. The one where you decieve to rob other players. You already admitted you're a hustling thief so don't back off it now. I believe you were and are the greatest pool hustler in the South. I believe you robbed hundreds of people just as you claimed to have.
 
this has the potential of being a matchup of epic proportions

Not a chance. No way a broken down tushhog self-proclaimed $5 hustler is going to post thousands and play in a real pool room. The only epic proportions are the size of his stories and the cavity in between his ears.

Americans and their petty lawsuits....

We inherited our system of laws from the British. And as far as I know one can sue for defamation over there as well and many do.

If Baby Huey wasn't scared of a lawsuit he would have posted his address by now. So it's not petty to him.

But he, and the members of this forum, will one day find out that indeed you cannot get away with defamation forever. At some point someone will step up and file suit and then it will be settled in court.
 
So,

Am I the only person on these forums that isn't independantly wealthy? lol Here I thought buying a $40,000 car at 28 years old a few weeks ago was doing pretty well, then I come here and see people talk about betting that in a night on pool games like it's Monopoly money. Despite whatever your differences, it sounds like you people have lead interesting lives and this forum continues to be informative as well as entertaining.

While there are people who do bet that like it's monopoly money most who gamble at pool are not wealthy.

For me it would be a lot to bet 20k. It was a lot to bet 10k. I regularly "bet" more than that on business deals but I always expect to at the very worst to break even so that's where a lot of money stays tied up.

Most of the times on these forums it's just people barking. Hu for example has ZERO chance of ever playing me for $5000, $1000 or even for $500. Not because he might not have the money but because he doesn't have the heart.

When I played Lou I put up more than I had played for in my life. All but $600 of it my own cash. $9600 on the light. Money I can and did make up fairly soon but it was still a chunk to lose it. That's one of the few times on these forums that forum barking has led to an actual game.

Most of the time you can bet that it is a 99% chance that no game will happen when two people start barking.
 
And Wolfie, stop living vicariously through Lou. He stepped up and you are still changing your Depends at the thought of stepping up.

The only question is whether you want to be next on the Dance Card. I think not given that you are a "two-bit" hustler. What is two bits anyway? Maybe you're just a one bit hustler.

Anyway, you aren't going to play, you aren't going to provide your address so why are you still flapping your gums?

Once again, you and me at Lacey's for $5000.

Still cool to hear about actually happening, outside of betting for beer money at bars the only stakes like those I've ever seen were in movies. haha Of course, I live in a city that doesn't have an 'actual' pool hall either--just private clubs and bars. The club I belong to has tournaments but winner usually only leaves with $200 in their pocket. The stories on this forum are pretty impressive sometimes.
