People I find myself wanting to gamble with...

I kinda want to buy this cue and get a good shaft for it. Anyone playing with a light up buttcap cue with floating 8 or 9 balls has to be thought a sucker. Well...maybe I am thought of as a sucker anyways but this cue would confirm it. :D

I have a friend who plays about 80 speed that has a cue with a clear ferule and a duct tape wrap..

I know a guy that put a 314 on one of these cues. He sanded off the "314" and goes to the little local bars and a few bigger pool halls. :D
 
Anyone who says "wow, nice jump shot!
when his buddy scoops the ball up and over the impeding ball and hits the duck that was stuck in the corner pocket.
 
I like to gamble with the guy that wants to play "call shot". Where everything that happens needs to be called. Kisses, combinations, rails, even the rail right next to the pocket. The lesser the player the more complicated they want it.
 
This is a true story that happened recently , playing in the local 8 ball league. The other team was short a player and asked if they could use a fill in guy that had not played in the league before, i didn't care and let them go ahead and let this guy play. So this guy shows up with kind of a chip on his shoulder , so he plays the first game against me . I get the break and come up dry , he takes one shot and scratches , I take ball in hand and run out , he then yells "What the F&%# is this crap putting the ball anywhere on the table!" , I calmly explain the rules to him, he yells "This is Sh%& pool , you don't know how to play pool" , then he says "If you got any balls then lets go to another bar where there is an open table and I will kick your arss all over the place for $100 a game with no ball in hand!" , well to make a long story short , I downright felt terrible afterward about abandoning my team that night, each team had to play with a player short but we still won the match..

So I guess to add to the list , anybody who does not know what ball in hand is.

anyone who would rather just "blast" than try to play safe and considers you a "dirty" player if you play safe

How did you do?
 
I met a girl who told me she put herself through college gambling on pool and she couldn't make a ball. That one really gags me.
 
Wtf?!?!?!?!?!

1. Anyone who bridges by balling up their fist like a hamhock and resting the cue between their knuckles...

2. Anyone with a cue that's more than two pieces (excluding jump/break cues)...

3. Anyone with a cue that contains an airbrushed image of a near-naked woman, a skull, or a flaming 8-ball...

4. Anyone who claims to prefer playing on "regulation" size tables...

5. Anyone who chalks up by placing the chalk on the floor and screwing the cue into it with their palms like they're a boyscout trying to start a fire...

6. Anyone who thinks Minnesota Fats was the greatest player ever...

7. Anyone who brings their red chalk to the pool hall...

8. Anyone whom I've ever heard use the phrase "n-word" pool when describing safety play (This makes me want to beat them senseless)...

9. Anyone I've ever heard utter the claim "I used to be really good when I was younger.... I put myself through college playing pool..."

10. Anyone who's ever walked up and said "Excuse me, do you have an extra screw-on tip, I just broke mine"...

Feel free to add to this list...

It sounds like you only want to play those who don't know any better. Do you EVER take a chance and play anyone worthwhile? Its people like this that you mainly find in a bar, or the local banger that shows up at the pool room from time to time. With this said, I prefer to play on "regulation" size tables myself, when do you wanna play? (By "regulation, I mean 4 1/2x9...Gold Crowns preferred) I was even ready to play with MY j/b cue til I saw the little "exception" above

Wow, some people have no sense of humor.... The title of my post is "People I find myself WANTING to gamble with" not "People I ROB ON A DAILY BASIS"...

In actuality, I tend to be the guy that takes guys like I list in my post under my wing and teach them a thing or two, and help them to NOT get robbed...

And by the way college boy... we ALL prefer to play on "regulation" tables.... I mean, after all, if the tables weren't twice as long as they are wide, they'd probably play pretty goofy... There's no such thing as a "regulation" SIZE table
 
sure there is

OK, smart-guy. There actually IS such a thing as a "regulation" size table, its called a 4 1/2x9...Or don't you know that MOST professional tourneys are played on these tables, and they ARE considered "the standard". Anything smaller like a 3 1/2x7 or a 4x8 is still a playable table, just not as popular among real players. I mean, why else would most pro's prefer to play on them? A sense of humor isn't needed here, it just seems you like to play the unknowing cause you're sure you'll win. Try playing someone who can beat you once in a while, THAT will do you some good it seems. MY door will always be open if you ever decide to try me lol

Am I the only person who sees the rather funny irony of this post....

-djb <-- thinks dukeboy is making Eddie's point for him....
 
Just so happens I do have a flourescent yellow case and will walk up to a Gold Crown and put quarters on it and ask if I can play next. Sounds funny? It'll get you action. A Pizza Hut shirt helps, also. One time I did have an older Richard Black with duct tape. Gotta love it.
