you first...show us how 
I was in El Paso recently for work and went to a few tournaments. I didn't bring my cue, but the house cues were actually VERY playable. I played by myself in the corner for a while just watching everyone and drinking beer. I am certainly no hustler and I'm not looking to make every dollar I can by playing anyone, but I would love to find some $20/game one pocket with a friendly person.
While watching I noticed that the attitudes and mannerisms of the two other guys there drove me crazy. They were playing 9-ball (not my favorite) and I could have given one of them like 6 games going to 9 and the other one I could have given anything he wanted. They both asked me if I "want to play some cheap". I said "No, thank you".
It is NEVER worth it to me to play people that drive me crazy. I don't need the money that bad, and I definitely do not need the stress it will bring me.

I know a lot of the guys I play for money, they always coming to the game thinking they're going to bust me. I am a highly underestimated player i love it. To answer the question i dont want to bust no one i just wanna milk the cow every once in awhile.
will not name people directly, because some of them can actually read and log on to az. but, we do have a couple of people that when they are winning everything is cool. but, as soon as they get down, all the moves come out. taking 5 minutes between shots, going outside to smoke or pop another pool pill or what ever they do out there for what seems like twenty minutes. they want people to watch every shot and argue about whether it was a good hit or not. by the end of the session you wonder why your playing such an ass and why you haven't cracked him in head with you cue.
There is a paul that has been to the pool room a couple times.
Some folks are just not worth the hassle.
Thanks Paul, for not giving my name out, i love ya brother.
Minimum qualifications for playing a set with me;
1. You must be able to draw the ball 2 feet.
2. With a ball in front of every hole, you must run 6 balls and out without ducking.
3. You must shoot before a spider weaves a web over the pocket.
4. You must not study a dead frozen combo for the corner longer than 2 minutes.
5. On the shot, your practice strokes must be less than 30.
6. You must put the chalk on the rail, face up.
7. You don't need to check the rack every time like you're playing Earl for the World Cup.
8. When I'm banking a ball off the bottom rail, you don't have to tell me it's frozen.
9. When I'm at the table, you don't have to tell me what english you used to miss.
10. As a matter of fact, I don't want to play you.

I know a top player who could get much more action if he wasn't the biggest jerk to ever play the game! If he starts losing he has more moves than a water bug. Also the fact that he might run the set out at anytime makes him one tough cookie to deal with.
Most of the time, when I'm out playing pool with a buddy, I will pass on any challenge. I just play for fun.
My buddy won't play ANYONE cuz he chokes so when the table is challenged he makes me play.
For some reason I'm able to step up my game when I need to. I rarely lose, especially to hustlers. They watch me play my buddy and feel we are easy marks so they challenge. And, as I said, my buddy makes me play and then I take their money and decline a second game. Some are pissed but those are the hustlers. They play down to get you into a win then they skunk you.
After my rambling...
One night there was a woman playing pool with her (male) friend. After a while she wanted to play my table. I was with a different than usual buddy and he said I should play her. I really didn't want to because she couldn't make a shot to save her life.
Long story short... I got laid that night. I guess the challenge wasn't about playing pool afterall.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. It's easy to win the first game or two for 10 or 20 bucks if you've been pre targeted as an easy mark. Then he quits. Serves the low life hustlers right. I bet inferno goes to work the next morning with a crumpled up bill in his front pocket he cares shit about while the sorry ass, non working, friend's couch sleeping, wanna be hustler dude is missing it like he lost his last friend. Believable and funny as hell. And I bet the getting laid story is true too.

You are dead on as far as pegging me out.
The couple bucks I win? I don't count pennies. I'm not wealthy but $20 won't make me or break me.
As for the getting laid... What would I gain by lying?
P.S. I have had enough people question the stories of my colorful life. Any time I'm called out (in person) I will provide proof to publicly humiliate my accuser. I actually get a kick out of doing that.
