What is the difference between a pool Hustler and a pool Shark?

What's the difference between a mark and a fish?

just for a laugh

Sharks and fish can swim...I'm not sure if hustlers and marks can..do you think an orange is named after the color or,is the color named after the fruit, this forum is not only fun but thought provoking.

A hustler tries to rob you and a pool shark is just a good player.

Very good input, WhiteWolf. Thanks.

from day one, public pool & billiards has always suffered from seedy characters out to 'hustle' or scam someone. not simply because a "bet" was placed on a game - but because the hustler dupes or deceives his opponent.

ironically, these hustlers were once known as "sharps" , not sharks.

Thanks for your input, Mr. Bond.

Wow, I thought most people had forgotten that. Time for some greenies.
