A little laugh to jumpstart the morning. Some guy, fresh off his match, strolls past us while Perk and I sweat his buddy's 3rd round match. A few other guys at the table.

This guy turns to one of them, a total stranger, says "excuse me sir, would you like to play for $5000?"
... "what??"
"well since I suck I thought you might want to play. We can play right now."
"oh I'll play. I wanna play."
"I heard you make that comment saying I suck during my match. If you think I suck we can play for five thousand right now."
"what are you talking about, I never said you suck, I don't even know you."
"yeah whatever." (starts walking away)
(annoyed) "but actually, you DO suck."
(spins right back around) "well then let's go to Sandcastle right now and play for 5,000".
(waves hand) "ahh pfft"
(stomping off) "piece of shit."

Not worth the hassle and I am certain it would be a TON of hassle!

There are people for whom that would have been a dream come true and would have insisted it was they who said the guy sucked and it would have been a race to see who could pull $5,000 out of their pocket the quickest.

My thoughts exactly... but not everyone is as good as me :grin:
 
Thats when you would like to reincarnate Luther Lassitter in his prime and hope the guy doesn't recognize him.
 
I remember a story that Leo The Hat McMakin (RIP) told me once years ago. He, Alex Shannon and Maltese Joe Barbara (all PPPO English Pool Professionals at the time) were on their way to Scotland for a tournament and happened to drop into a pub for a spot of lunch.

Whilst there, a guy sidles up to them and asks them if they fancy playing his son at pool for money. He was apparently a bit good and would be prepared to give them a start. How does £500 sound?

They were practically fighting each other for the right to play him.

No shock to hear these hustlers, expert at the ability to hide their true ability, took the pub for everything they had..
