Types of people you see at the Pool Hall

Jump Shot/Masse Shot Guy Every time I see this guy I cringe. :eek: The worst example of this guy was at Legends. The owners resurfaced all the tables for the Houston open when this guy rolls in and proceeds to practice Masse shots for over an hour. By the end of his session there were two tears in the brand spanking new simonis cloth. The real irritating part is this guy rarely executes these shots correctly if at all.

Jump Shot Masse Shot Guy or girl if you are reading this please answer me this: Is the jump shot and/or masse shot so important that you have to destroy the cloth on a table to make it 1 out of 100 attempts?

HEY MAN PRACTICE YOUR DRAW SHOT!!!!!:mad:
 
Once great champion guy
I see this guy no less than 3 times every time I go to a pool room. The story is always almost the same. "Back in the day I was a great player, I made a living playing pool, it paid my way through college. I did the road, I beat Johnny Archer once. Its funny how many guys have beat Archer once. The story always ends the same.Well I injured my back, came down with glaucoma, developed diabetes, had a heart attack, got in a wreck, had to quit for a job and now I just can't play anymore The thing is the once great champion has fallen off so much that he miscues at least twice a rack or dogs a shot with ball in hand. Oh where did the glory days go?
 
How about Drunk Phil. Guy whose been to rehab 19 times but still gets really drunk and gambles high dollar one pocket with spots like 33 - 3 and never books a winner.

Or how about the professional pool hustlers who stand in line to bust him and after they fleece him for a couple thousand they peacock around like they really did something and wear their victory like a badge of honor.

Ive been there to see drunk Phil lose getting like 40-3 from Sylver...
 
The Tutor of 10

Only person on table time of a group of 10. Also, only one who carries a cue and case. Expresses displeasing and disbelief look because he missed or was unable to play shape.

The good thing is, 'The Tutor of 10' offers a 5 minute explanation to the other 9 people as to what should have happened....and they are AMAZED.

The quiet man

He usually has something to do around the bar or pool hall. He delivers, fixes pinball machines or some other task where you see him on a regular basis. Never says much. One day he pauses to watch a couple of shots by a table. You say something like,"Pretty good shot eh". He responds like the shot was pretty mundane. You ask him if he could do better and he quietly responds sure , but not with all these people around. When he shows up on Sunday morning to shot a few with you he trims your azz. Turns out he really did make his living in Vegas shooting. (or paid his way through school etc.) The one prime requisite for the quiet man is his glasses are so thick he should be able to see the mars rover. He stopped gambling because of his eyes.
 
The jump shot king Always practicing jump shots but never gets in a game. Claims he can jump a ball and draw the cueball 8 feet.

Mr Vulgarity..When families are playing nearby, he misses a shot and will curse and swear at the top of his lungs and sound like he's describing a gay porno film in the process. Always good for business.

Cobweb..Takes 5 minutes to run 5 balls that are in front of the pockets. Cobwebs can form over the pocket before he shoots.

Paul Politics...Will talk non-stop about political issues and how the government is going broke. He is happy as long as his disability check keeps coming.

Sam the shoplifter..Asks what you might be interested in buying next, and then goes and steals it to sell to you at half price. Never leave your jacket unattended and go to the men's room because he will check your pockets.

[BAcid Rock owner's son..insists on playing loud acid rock music at full volume while you're playing pool. Can barely make change for a $20 bill.

Larry 9 Rails... instead of stopping the cueball, will load it with english to dance around 9 rails for position on a hanging last ball. Gets ticked if he scratches.

Mr. T....Always wears several gold chains, diamond rings and flashy clothes. Willing to back only the top players for 70% of their winnings.

Mike the mechanic...Changes car engines and transmissions on his job and has never changed his clothes or washed his hands.

Bob the Cook...Brings his dog every day and will scracth the dog in places I wouldn't ever touch. Then he'll make you a sandwich without gloves or without washing his hands. ( I swear it's true.)

"This pool hall is a dump, this town is a dump, the women are ugly here, where I used to live was so much better, I gotta drive four states away to get a decent meal, there's never any action here, the weather sucks . . . "

How long have you lived here?

"37 years"

You're retired, no wife, no kids, you don't even own your house. Why not move?

"Cuz I like it here!"
 
the little *****/cry baby_
hell use every excuse and rule in the book to try to win a game and blames everything else but himself when he loses.

The waitress everyone wants to ****_
shes usually average looking but is the most attractive when the room is full of men.
 
How about the Rapper / Pool Player and his posse. Never seen him spit a a single verse but they say he's got legendary flow on the natch and he certianly dresses the part. Little mother ****er can play pool too, that's for sure. Nice enough guy too.

Which one are you?

Let's call ourselves out now.

Human juke box: Always has headphones in because "other people's bad taste in music makes him play bad"

Yeah I'm guilty of this
