What is the most that you ever lost in one session at pool?

The most I lost in one session? Oh man, I once lost four games in a row.

The most I've lost is $100. The worst $100 I ever lost was when I was playing this kid race to 5 for $50 getting spotted the six out and the breaks. This was the first, and only time, so far, that I've started out playing for that much. We set up the game the day before and met the next day.

The guy was two or three hours late and then when he did show up he brought about ten people with him, in an otherwise empty pool hall...lol. I jumped out to a two nothing lead and he asked to change tables. I figured I had the uber-nuts so I didn't care. After that I couldn't make a money ball to save my life and finished $100 loser after two demoralizing sets! I still can't believe I lost but I was breaking like shit and choking easy shots.

Valuable lesson learned that day. You have to have nuts before you can have THE NUTS!

I lost about $100 in one night at a friends house playing pool, which I guess is like $500 today, I started gambling at a very young age, 12 years old, I bet on everything and it got so bad I started betting my possessions, cloths, toys, pool cues, records, tapes (yeah it was that long ago) and my bike.

Funny thing is it wasn't so much that I wanted to win or even hated losing as much as liked the action, sure I won, I won lots of money and items of value, including a brand new bike But I knew I was sick with just betting on anything, sports, individual plays, cars passing by, and even the weather, so really anything that came up in my day to day life I would say you want to bet on it, or I'll bet you that... just anything for some action it was real bad, and I had to stop, so at 15 I just stopped, made vow to myself to never bet again, and to this day I have not even bet a quarter on anything. I have never even played the lottery.

Addictions run in my family and I get addicted to things badly, and use to be obsessive compulsive, so needless to say I think my early experience saved my life, no gambling, no drugs, no drinking, no smoking ever since that experience I knew I had a serious problem with addictions.

I was very lucky I was able to stop, I have seen many a life fall apart due to gambling addictions, so maybe some young person will see they have the same problem and realize they need to stop cold, some people just can't handle betting, unfortunately I'm one of those people.

Whooooooooooooodarrrrre

here's a little story about a guy we all know...

it was mid-late 90's i live about 50 miles from mississippi line in a little town called tuscaloosa well this guy comes in wanting to play some "cheap" well i had just played a road player a couple days before and didn't win of course so say where you from he says mississippi i said yeah right let me see your ID... he whips out a miss license... i said ok lets play we play for an hour or so for 10, then double it to 20 after about 3 hours i'm bout 300 loser so i ask for the 8 he agrees and we play some more well the guy who was working the room that night was being an ass and tells us we gotta leave at 12 so i wind up getting down to like 180 loser with the 8 and tell the guy to come back anytime and give him my number... well the guy never calls or comes back so bout a month later i get my billiard news in the mail and almost fainted here's the kid i had played on the cover who had just won the world bar table championship or something to that effect in reno or vegas... some guy by the name of Corey Dueul (sp?)

ps. glad he never called me back! he shot balls at warp speed with no english on a gaffed up gandy like nobody i've ever seen.

I gotta hear the, "Rest Of The Story", Merk. He had a MS drivers license? Photo on it? Name on the license? How close did you look at it?

I'm sure the first name on it wasn't, Buster or Reed, was it, LOL? Last name on it wasn't, Lacey, was it? No, I guess you would have snapped to that one, LOL.

The most I ever lost, of my own money, was $990. To the greatest hustler that ever got your humble $Bill,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Mr. Bill Lawson.

What is the most that you ever lost in one session at pool?

My pride! Big loss!

You don't have to play for money to make it mean something.


But if you insist on a monetary answer. $100.00. However, I'll take a $100.00 loss again and again if I didn't ever have to lose my pride again.

i checked it out pretty good, nah there weren't any recognized names on the dang thing, had his picture on it... it was a good move... i recently found out someone up around tupelo might have sent him down.

btw the 180 to him ain't the most i ever lost just thought it was a good story

Lost $1800 to Tony Mosier (I think that's how you spell his name) about a year, maybe a year and a half ago. He came through town and showed me just how soft my game was.
