I like to hold the chalk in my left hand and then violently rotate my forearm of my right hand holding the cue, all the while making a good 20" half circle of 5 or 6 strokes. They'll fight each other to ask you to play.
Buck,
I dont know where people say that people wont play for money....they just arent asked right....words are useless...actions speak louder than words...thats for sure....
Just another lovely day in paradise......

I counter those with multiple sharking tactics by using an extra cue that has a very hard tip. While he is on a tough shot and ready to pull the trigger, I can take a piece of chalk to that hard tip and make it sound like a turkey calling her chicks. I can make it chirp 3 or 4 times per second and it's best to start on his final backswing.
I dunno if anyone else's hall had this, but a lot of bangers liked to break with the "king's crown" rack... you take the two back corner balls and move them forward so that they're wedged into the side of the rack, between the 4th and 5th rows, forming a crown shape.
Something dumb I see all the time is two guys shooting the dark. They somehow don't notice that all the tables around them are bright pools of light and they're shooting in a cave.

The most stupid thing I ever heard of ( I didn't see it happen but I know it is true) was perpetrated by a room owner. Some of you who frequent this forum and spent time in the Baltimore area might know the story and may have even been lucky enough to have seen this amazing event. I might have been will to pay a couple hundred to have seen it for myself.
No names here. We must protect the innocent as well as the guilty.
A good player, a man who enjoyed gambling was hitting balls on a table one night in the local pool room and tried a masse shot. The room owner who was known to be a bit of a hard ass at times came by and saw a small cut in the cloth where the shot had originated from and told the man he had to pay him $200.00 for causing the cut. The shooter argued the cloth was old and worn out, and the cut was so small no one would ever notice such a small rip in that cloth anyway. But the owner insisted on the deuce until the shooter reluctantly relented and paid the owner his money.
Well, this shooter continued to play on this table for a while and eventually brought the balls up and paid his table time with a smile that would have made the Cheshire Cat proud. He turned back to the table he had been playing on, pulled out a knife and from cushion to cushion, cut the cloth from the table leaving the it down to the bare slate and began to walk out with the large folded piece of simonis cloth!
The owner went nuts! "What do you think you're doing?" He screamed! "I'm just taking my cloth with me." he replied, " I paid for it." and out the door he went.

Larry Price use to have a very warped sneaky pete and would do this.
Had a guy that would line up every shot for position like he was gonna run out, it would take him 15 mins every time he went to the table, then he'd miss the first shot and go look at his position. All this during a tournament with 3 tables and 30 players - everybody wanted to kill him
Thats a good story. :lmao::rotflmao1::rotflmao::rotflmao1::lol:
Don't chalk over the table, and when chalking brush the tip with the chalk. When chalked right you will never see chalk on your ferrel, and you should never have pieces of chalk on your table, just chalk dust.
playing a guy
Playing a guy who played a ball better than me 50 a rack 9 ball. We had a weird spot going, i was giving him the wild 6 and he was giving me the call 7-8. We both got spot balls in the same rack...lol He had been drinking...I hadn't. Well, he thought he had the nuts getting the 6, but even if he won a game and broke he was drunk and couldn't run to the 6 so i have him stuck 300 within a hour or so. The next game he runs to the 6 and misses it and screams and totally enraged reaches up and grabs two hands full of hair and pulls it out. Standing there with his hands full of his hair. Well if this isn't enough he then tries to break this real nice Predator by hitting the joint on the edge of the gold crown we were playing on. Didn't break...lol so he looks over at the owner who is about to go off on him, takes the predator outside and procedes to break it into a thousand pieces on the side of the cinder block building. Comes back in a few minutes later and pays me, says good game and leaves. Funniest thing i ever seen and is still talked about around here...
question? who has the best of it? the guy getting the wild 6 or the guy getting the call 7-8. Like i said these spots are happening during the same rack.

the hall i used to play at, had an owner that would throw huge fits when he would lose. (calling customers all names under the sun) we got about 5 feet of snow and none of his workers could get to work. He he got so mad that he threw his cell phone across the pool hall and said many profanities. then proceeded to tell everyone in the pool hall to F off and that we had to serve ourselves and the till better not be off at the end of the day. He left for a good 4 hours. haha Then he wondered y his hall didnt stay open. haha
had a guy on our team that had a bridge that looked like an eagle claw. would hold the cue between his pointer and middle finger and would hold them in the air and curled like and eagle or chicken claw. haha

I played a guy once... A regular game of 8 ball. No gambling. I broke dry. The guy misses a shot and starts beating his cue on the table. One, two, three, I don't know how many times , until he breaks the ferrule off the cue. then he packed everything and walked out of the bar without saying anything.
The wild 6.
I've seen people do the looking for the coin slot thing on drop pocket 9 footers multiple times, but my favorite is the one time I was playing 14.1 and a guy walked by and moved the breakball because he thought he was helping me out because I accidentally forgot to rack it.
