this not the way it should be

The truth is nothing to get upset over, there's less than 5 Americans playing in tournaments earning over $30,000 a year, so the American pool players have to scrape together a living somehow, that's why there's a lot of players that don't like the losers to quit with any money still left in their pockets...the winners don't want to have to look for someone else to try a d beat out of money as long as they're playing someone that is still losing, and still has more money....they want it ALL!

The late great Tom Ferry's rules for gambling should be posted in every pool hall.

One of the rules was post in advance.

Another rule was anybody can quit whenever they want.

Guy wants to quit - go ahead.

Precisely why I *always* preferred betting by the game and not even bothering playing sets at all, let alone posting everything someone thinks they want to lose. I've busted a few people and it was never playing sets. Not that it can't be done, but for me, it was always by the game.

Does it take longer? Maybe. But there's usually more in your pocket once it's all said and done.

I have kinda both these ideas covered.
In my hometown, at the two main action rooms, I let everybody know that they could
treat me like a casino.....quit whenever you want...got more action than the whiners.
I still held myself to no quitting when you’re up, but I didn’t broadcast it.

If a guy was sketchy, I would freeze him up.....and POST.

On the road, when I wanted to raise the bet, I preferred to ask for sidebets....
...I have won 3Gs plus quite a few times...when my opponent had less than $200.

So I tend agree with Jack’s original thought, in general, but it doesn’t fit all situations.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat.
 
If your goal is busting him then by all means do whatever it takes.

If you're getting enjoyment from the game itself then you are not only in charge of your emotions but the action too. Player one was in charge of the action and player 2 was his B!tch at the point the game ended.

Never let your B!tch dig a hole for hours with a shovel then bring in a backhoe to try to fill the hole in. They may just break away from your control and that sucks.

And just when it's becoming crystal clear that American pool players are almost non-existent in tournaments being played around the world, and even more American tourna.tournaments being dominated by foreign pool players, one can't help but wonder if it isn't because of the American pool players mentality that would rather place more importance on nickel and diming other fish pool players in pool rooms around the country, and refer to that skill set as a sign of being a truly great pool player who measures success based on how much the opponents are willing to lose while gambling, but I guess it beats needing a job, and the real tourna.tournament players will always be thanking you for your entry fee contributions at the prize money payouts, as 99% of you gamblers will never pose a threat to the top money finishers, and yes, most of them are still going to turn down your offers to gamble so you can try getting your entry fees back, and yes, you'll still consider yourselves to be better players because they were AFRAID to get into action with you, which is no big deal as tomorrow you'll be back to grinding out some money from someone else so you can afford to get something to eat....LMAO

When I came in they were just starting and I got on another table
to hit some balls and watch. It was women's league night and that
was about all that was there. I've beaten the sucker every way he
can come up with,and the nit wouldn't play if I held a pistol to his
head, Are you still confused ? Have you ever gone in the pool
room and watched a match ?You should try it, it's something to do,
but you might get confused.

Meh. I think this whole thread is just a matter of a busybody sticking their nose in somebody's else's business. That's my opinion, and sticking to it.

I never said a word to either player. It's just my opinion that the NIT had the
suckers nose open and ready to go off, and didn't have enough heart to do it,
even with the dead nuts.To not take a suckers money is a mortal sin.
Now the sucker will never play that NIT again. Good for him, that's my
opinion and I'm sticking to it.
