I am playing in a local bar when a nobody shooting with his graphite cue wants to play some for $20. (I had $117 cash)
I win, but don't show any speed (I don't play great anyway). ($137)
He barks and says $50 for the next game. I should be a lock to win here, so ok. The table plays horrible. I am left uptable straight in on the 8 jacked up. I slow roll at the 8 hung up in the pocket. Cue ball scratches as well. ($87 - I also owe my bar tab)
I ask if he wants to go back to $20 a game, he says no $50 that's the bet, this really irritates me. I leave the table, knowing I should win. Mill around a few until I can't take it walk back up and tell him we can play for $87. He agrees. I win no problem. ($174)
I ask if he wants to play again. He says sure, $50. I really wish I had told him no, $87 that's the bet; but then I probably wouldn't have won another $150.
