Lets hear some good old pool stories or newer ones also,anything to do with pool that will be interresting to az readers,pool players men and women,poolgames,road trips,league nite,fights or romances,ok i will start it off,i hope some one will enjoy this story.I and 2 friends take a day trip down to va,well we get to this pool room and just like our friend has told us there was plenty of action,so its me and cigar Tom vanover and our buddy that is from this area is backing the whole trip,now Tom is the better player by far then me,so tom has his guy in a race to 9 for 2 hundred and tom is getting the money,as tom is doing his job iam a couple of tables down playing races to 7 for 100,well everything is going fine i feel real good and i was playing at my best,iam up 6 to 0 the first set,so i have a brainstorm and think i got a live one here so i let him win the next 2 games that i could of won,then all of a sudden our friend that is staking tom and me comes up and says this guy that u are playing is the best player in here and telling me that iam in a bad game,well wouldnt u know it after my friend tells me this i cant make a ball now and before i knew it was 6 to 6,but i did win that last game to win the set,now the next set ,10 guys come up and want to bet on the side and of course after what my friend just told me i declined,so we play the set and i lose 7 to 0,so i pulled up and told the guy u play way to good for me,that my dad would play you some for 2hun a set and he look at me and said CIGAR TOM is your dad,i cant play him!so it started off i thought i had a live one and turn out i was the live one,but good ole CIGAR TOM got the money like always,we were splitting money on our way back to baltimore!
 
Couple of years ago, I have a friend tell me he has action in a rough
club.Can play a Mexican who's 17,yes 17,brothers like to put him in action!
The man can play but needs weight from my horse so away we go.On the way out the door we pick up a real pool degenerate,who plays the 9+10 ghost and owns Casper.So we get to the club and the
family is waiting on us.All they want to do is races to 7 for $50!18 men
get together and bet 50! Yeah I am not happy.My horse says "I can't
make a man do what he doesn't want to do.". They play three sets and we
are 150 winner.A friend of my player shows up and we start pushing hard for side bets.In the meantime the "ghost owner" is losing at $5 a game and drinking on my tab.
What a piece of work he was.Anyways we play the 4th set for 100 +150
on the side.Adjusted from the 8 to the 7,wn the set hill hill.I tell the
friend bet all you can,we are going to steam roll them this set and it will probably be over. It was getting late and much cerveza had been drank.
We win that set.I have the 100 set and 45 on the side.Players friend has probably 300+ on the side.They all say no mas.I pay the time and buy 18 beers! We leave and players friend split with his side of our action.I never got my cut of the side which was more then I won.Oh well you live and hopefully you learn.

ritchiebalto...You know the old saying...If you look around the poolroom, and can't figure out who the "mark" is...the mark is YOU! LOL Good story...Cigar Tom is one hell of a great player. His brother Bob is no slouch either...even today at close to 80! LOL:D
