as you saw in my previous 2 stories the knocker has to be controlled
or eliminated
In the jersey Red episode i had to buy an image and when the detectives began knocking Red I had to feed them information to darken their councel and even enlist their aid
thinking they knew it all about me,without me saying a word they spread the news that I was easy money.In fact
they put their own money against me
But how do you remove a knocker from the arena,when his very i presence assures you of trouble.what a shame it is to have located the perfect mark and set the table with possibly a large seed (initial investment) only to have the whole sting jeopardized because
a nefarious tale bearer known as the KNOCKER ruins everything by telling (lifting my skirt as it was)
who you are ,how you play,or some such information that can ruin it all
Dealing with the Knocker has to be one of your specialties if you expect to lay down a good spread
usually the Knocker prides himself in his knowledge of all things in the pool room,and is always seeking to stick his nose in other people business,thus he is referred to as the detective. He learns a little and tells a lot.
his whole function is to tell everybody everything thus killing action,he is as responsible as anyone for killing good action
Why play if you already know the outcome?
Such a knocker in the way was present in greatest score . Johnny Ervolino,one of the greatest players I ever knew,Johnny could play,play at the highest level,knew the game inside out,was considered the final word on pool,won a Johnson City championship
etc
But Johnny had the tendency toward cynicism,plus he tended to talk,he drew a gallery who seemed to
listen to his every word,at first it was just to get respect or whatever,but soon it seemed he was actually trying to protect his hearers from losing their money.
Think about it,they lived in Las Vegas,they loved pool gambling,everyone came to the room to play and win,but here is the great champion trying to protect
the groupies who attended his lectures (informal as they were,but still providing him a podium from which to pontificate)
He might as well have gone to the casinos and told everyone in the joint"don't bet the spread,its a 3 to 2 house advantage" or stay away fom roulette the house take is too great" or stop every fun loving patron of the slots with"these machines are bandits,they give 5% to the house"
Well in the caper I wanted to tell you about Johnny had to be removed or his influence negated. before we could proceed with impunity
How do you think we proceeded in this episode?
Please put your opinions here if you want to .
