How does it affect your play if you really don't like the person you are playing?

This weekend I played a guy I really don't like. We have played before. We have always played even and he has never won. Last time we played I had to take him to his house to get the money to pay me.

Anyway, he kept bugging me to play all night. I finally said ok but you have to give me the 7 and post the money (thinking this would make him leave me alone). He agreed and remember he has never won playing even. We were playing a short race. I was on the hill and he had not won a single game. He quite before the set was over. Started yelling about me robbing him (ok I was robbing him but he knew it ahead of time and agreed to it). Later he came back around wanting to play again (born looser). I told him I was done with him and we would never play again. Probable not the smartest financial decision. The houseman was talking with me and said this guy owed just about everyone in the place. Fires a lot of air barrels.

Get him in debt to you and youll never see him again. Got a guy who owes me 40$ and wants to play everytime I see him. I tell him give me my 40$ then post the bet. He then goes and bugs someone else. Works like a charm.


And yes I do hate that guy and everytime we play I wanna humiliate him. Winning isnt enough I wanna crush his soul.


LoL but im kinda evil.

Just bad action. There's three people that I don't really like and I haven't beat any of them. I can't make a ball against them. I guess I take this sh#$ way to personal. But, just with these guys. I give guys weight that can play them even. Whatever. Just remember this.....


After 25 years of mixing it up with idiots and champions, this kind of situation will never end up well. If it's worth a grand, take friends, post up and then leave. For $50? Man, I've been robbed and cut for less than that. You can beat a player outta hundreds, but take a guy's last $20 and he gets hot. This guy is always taking a toothpick to win a forest? Just be the bigger man, laugh at his face, and tell him he's the better player. Trust me, you'll be happier in the long run. It ain't worth it.

PEOPLE KNOW WHO THE BETTER PLAYER IS..... YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW THEM. YOU'RE DOING IT TO SHOW EVERYONE ELSE, CAUSE HE DOESN'T GIVE TWO SHITS. THIS AIN'T HIS FIRST TIME.

Use away. I aint got no copyright on it. Hell make it your signature if youd like.
 
Somehow I'm reminded of Jay in Clerks:

Yo, what the **** you lookin' at, I'll kick your ****in' ass! Shit yeah. Doesn't that ****er owe me 10 bucks? You know, ****in' tonight, we're gonna rip off this ****er's head, and take out his ****in' soul. Remind me if he tries to buy something, I'm gonna shit in the mother****er's bag.

I usually just shorten it to "I wanna rip that guy's head off and eat his fcking soul."

I avoid playing people I don't like, it's like giving them a spot.
 
Robert Byrne quoted Danny McGoorty as saying "it helps to hate whoever you are playing. Look at it this way if you are playing your grandmother a game to 50, and you are ahead 47 to 2; try and not let her get to 3. I don't know how much natural talent I have, but I have a lot of natural hate."
 
That's why sometimes SVB has an advantage (no offense, I like SVB) he can decide what he wants to hear and what he doesn't and people can't argue saying that "You heard me!"

I usually don't even take their money, if I don't like them, I'll tell them to take their money and get the "F" off my table. I don't like taking money, playing or being near people who play and act that way, not cool at all.
 
In the room I play at there are a group of guys who think they are players that I could give the 6 out with anyone of them . Though this would never happen cause they wouldn't play anyway and frankly since I have been stiffed for a measly $40.00 from one of these masters of the universe from the planet of B.S. It would serve no purpose. There will always be that " someone" or group that has gotten to us at one time or another. And remember this ..Familiarity breeds contempt. If you play with the same people and continually win , they might start to show their arss at some point. You end up playing down to their level which serves no one.

I play for myself and hope someone with skill and heart walks through the door.
 
I refuse to play players I don't like anymore for free/practice... if they wanna go i'm going to get paid for putting up with their sh*t.
 
Ya a played a tourney once where this guy had his own little cheering section and I saw it right before the start. I told a good player and friend of mine about it and he said he used to like it when that happened cause it pissed him off and made him play better.

Well that was more or less the outcome for me. Ended up keeping him in his chair the whole match and I mean the whole match. I think he only got to shoot 3 times :D
 
I don't need the money enough to deal with the BS. Just last week I played a 5 and 5 ring game with a couple of guys. One is way cool and I would play with him any day. The other is a real googan and talks trash the whole time. I had been warned about him before and that sometimes he wouldn't pay. I figured in a ring game he would have to pay after every game and the worst I could be out was $10. I ended getting up $200 and the nice guy quit. The googan was down about $40. He plays about my speed. He started his rant about wanting to play one on one and I said no thanks. He then started to talk trash to both me and the guy that quit. The guy that quit said sorry man, your better than me and I don't want to play. He then starts in on me. I told him no again. He then offers me the 8. I start to put my cue back together and told him OK. Pay after every game or post up and we will play an ahead set for $100. He then started yelling about not trusting him enough to move the penny, etc. etc. I walked out while he was still yapping. Glad I was tipped off about his air barrel.

I faced that in a tournament. I think I did a pretty good job of ignoring their taunts and cheerleading.

The guy was a very good player but cocky as hell. At one point he threw all of his toys out of the stroller and started a public swearing rant against another player. He broke his cue. He had to be restrained. Amazingly he was allowed to continue playing. He also lied about at least one of his scores to the tournament director.

As poetic justice would have it (?) he didn't win the tournament.
