What are the best SHARKING moves?

[BmoreMoney]

For me, it takes quite a bit to shark me. The place I came up in always had the jukebox pumpin, always tons of people talking and screamin, lots of stuff going on. The only thing that really gets me is when someone walks in your field of vision when down on a ball.

LOL how can bringing a girlfriend be a sharking move? Just leave with his girlfriend and.... THE CASH!!!! (In my best Jimmy Mataya voice)

Now, walk and stop in front of me? I'll shoot one straight into the rail. It's the most unnatural act to occur out of everything listed. My mind can't take it!!! People move, sticks move, people cough on occasion, but when is the last time someone was walking past you in the street and just stopped and stared at you? That would make you nervous, right?

Sometimes people realize they're crossing your line as they are doing it so they get startled and stop. Better to just keep walking.

Just play LIGHTS OUT, that is really the best move in the billiard kingdom. If you are the one that has to think about "sharking" you're probably in a really bad game, and should quit. If he's sharking you, then you got the best of it, and time to up the bet

I got you all beat.
The BEST sharking move in my experience is:

Look at something across the room so that your back is to your opponent.
Just keep facing away while your opponent is shooting.
He/she soon will notice this and become vexed.
This moves breathes life into the "why aren't you watching me shoot, even though
you're standing right there?"
Some players I have noticed will get out of rhythm very quickly with this move.

how do you know they're not getting touchy-feely with the balls while you're in this self-imposed time-out?

could you blame them if they did?

Eating lots of broccoli,pickled eggs,and beer a few hours before your match. I've sharked 4 or 5 players at a time with this method. They'll concede the game & leave the bar !!! LOL

Here I always thought the best shark move was to ask your opponent if he inhales or exhales on his final stroke when he is at the table.

Beand and Nuts

Add beans and nuts to your diet. It will do wonders for your game.

I wonder if the Taiwanese have a "sharking" day in their training week.

I also wonder how you guys deal with it when the sharking doesn't work... Do you trip a waitress or maybe kick the cane out from underneath an elderly person?

 

[PoolChump]

Do you pause before or after your back swing?

Doesn't everybody? It is something almost every great player does.

Eating during the match
I read some time ago here that it happened in a match - I think involving MD.
That really cracked me up. I imagine eating loudly and splattering sauce and oil all over..
