Punctuation and periods are your friend. Second of all, you were a D player, but you ran 3 racks in a row? 
Lastly, this sounds like a small weekly tourney, how the hell did it pay $1500 for first place? Hell, theres some regional tourneys that barely bay that much for first. Does anyone else smell what I smell?

One of my best friend and I were out drinking at a bar and we met one of his co-workers who was a nurse. His friend had brought a friend of hers too. The friend was gorgeous from what I can remember. This was years ago. The friend of the friend wanted to go to a gay and lesbian club. So we decided to go even though the two of us had decided against it. Why not...the girl was hot and she wanted to go.
It was the weirdest feeling as we walked in there. A bunch of flamers. My buddy and I thought we would go over to the pool area and play some pool and avoid the patrons there. We thought we would feel at home in front of the pool table. We were wrong.
We were playing each other a game for drinks when suddenly a gay couple wanted to play and play in teams. No problem, my buddy and I were an APA 9. So we wanted to hustle them but they wanted to play teams and separate the two of us. Not good. We played and proceeded to make it as quick as possible.
After the game, a transgender black male/female, walks up to us and without saying a word crawls on top of our table and started to pose on all fours, while a game was going on. Spreading her legs and shaking her ass while her man was taking pictures right in front of us. It was like some sort of mating call from a chimp that you see on Animal Planet.
Did any of us get the girl? Nope. Did any of us get into a fight? I almost did.
Moral of the story? Just because there is a pool table, you are not at home and don't go running out a racks because that draws attention.

I tell all the ladies that.
Ladies are the devil.
I'd have been all over that chick posing on the table.
Lmao, good story. I was waiting for the part where yall hustled in the G&L bar and made a nice score.

It was a guy dressed as a girl.
I was about 17 in the1960's and was visiting my grandmother in Miami Beach. I met some guy on the beach during the day.We got to talking and found out we both liked pool. He said he lived in Miami so I asked him if there is anywhere to go and shoot. He offered to take me up to Hollywood that night where he sometimes goes. I figured we would play together but he saw a friend of his and went to play him.
I took my own table and started to bang balls around. A little while later an older woman( maybe22) came over and asked if I would like to play some 8 ball. she was incredibly hot looking,wearing short shorts and a almost see thru top.Let's face it anything with female is hot at the age of 17.
Well we played a few games and she said let's play for $1.00 a game. We played awhile and after loosing about $5 or $6 dollars I quit. Only had enough cash for the table time and to pay off with enough left over for a soda for me and the hottie.(she thought it was so sweet of me to offer ger her a soda).
Went looking for the guy I came up with and discovered he had left.
I figured I would wait outside and see if he would come back so I could get a ride back to Miami.
I did not have any money left even for a bus so I was going to try and hitch a ride.
Just then the hottie left the poolroom. We spoke a bit and I embarrasadly explained my situation.
She offers me a ride but said she had to stop by and pick something up at her apartment first.
I will not go into the tawdry details of a nite comprised of sex,drugs and rock and roll, but leave that to your imagination.
I am not exactly sure when and how I got back to my grandmothers.

Like he cares!
I was on a business trip once and asked a buddy who was well-travelled where the action spot was. He gave me the name of a bar and told me they played 10/20$ games and as long as I lost every 3or 4 games, I could play all night.
Looked it up on the interwideweb and the website said it was the premier lgbt club in the area. It did say there were 2 pool tables, but I passed. I think maybe my advisor was making a funny.

I agree with Charlie...spill the beans, we are all burned around the edges!
It was at the Delaware State 9 ball Championship in '97. Ginky had been lighting the pool world on fire for awhile & was odds on favorite to win it. It was in a 2nd round match early in the tournament & he drew a guy nobody really knew who opened the match playing ok but was out of his depth against Ginky. He played smart & for awhile was in the match but then Ginkys firepower took over and he was on the hill ahead by 3 racks. He broke and ran to the 7 ball but it was tied up with no real good way to get on it so he played a relative safe putting the 7 firmly against the middle of 1 short rail & the cue ball firmly against the short rail at the opposite end of the table and turned to the guy and said "fade that". I'll never forget the look in that guys eyes, like pure fire. He stood up and jacked against the rail and fired that bank straight in the hole & then banked the 8 & the 9 to get out. Ginky said, "that'll never happen again" & this guy proceeded to break & run the next rack, banking the 7,8,9 AGAIN. Then broke & ran the next rack to bring it hill, hill. This guy had a sledge hammer break, the cue ball would fly straight up the air after hitting the rack and bounce once sitting dead in the center of the table. At hill, hill he broke again making 3 on the snap but as the cue ball came back down out the air towards the table it barely glanced of his shaft and turned to Ginky and said "I fouled". Ginky replied he didn't see anything but the guy insisted he'd fouled & turned the table over to Ginky who took ball in hand & got out to end the match. In the big scheme of things it was a match few would remember but I never saw a fire like that guy had in his eyes when Ginky taunted him. To bank from the 7 out, then break & get out again banking from the 7 out for the 2nd rack in a row, then breaking & running that 3rd rack to take it hill, hill. What I remember most was him calling that foul on himself that nobody else seemed to see after making 3 on the snap & looking at a Cosmo to win the set. After the match I heard somebody ask Ginky, "who is that guy & where did he come from". Ginky said, "I don't know, but I hope he goes back there, I don't ever want to see him again".
