It looks like Efren is the total package in a pool player to most people that have posted in this thread. My thanks goes out to everyone on AZB. For your input!

It shouldn't be too much different than the idea of a well-rounded good person, period. If a normal person with a good moral compass would stop me to return a $20 bill that fell out of my pocket, I'd expect the same from a pool player. Most pool players would sadly try to make a game with me using my $20 as a free swing at more, and they would try to get weight on the game.

The stock, as expected answer to the thread would probably be: Fantastic shooter and strategist, game-maker extraordinaire, and acceptable behavior while not shooting.

It seems like some terrific players forget that their prowess is recognized in any way only within the confines of a poolroom. If you're a world beater who manually empties portable shitters with a SOLO cup as a job and can't keep $5 in your pocket despite your skills, you've still failed at life.

There are and have been lot's of good people come grom the pool world. They just love the game.
Witin the pool world is a very, very negative attitude. Everyone is either a drnk,a drugie, or con/dump artist and that comes mainly fom it's following.
Failures inlife are mostly from within.
 
Someone that doesn't run around, the pool room, shooting their mouth off, and telling you how good they are and how much they are willing to bet.

If you are the total package, "You don't need to do any of those things."

A great gunfighter never went looking for trouble but somehow they managed to find it. The same goes for a great pool-player.

Has anyone else opened an older thread and started reading replies, only to come across one that you agree with 100%... And then you realize you wrote that post and the thread is from months back?
Thanks for the giggles, from an easily amused person.
 
I think good qualities in a pool player would be their ability to help others to enjoy the game as much as they do. Some one who is great doesn't have to tell anyone how good they are, they let their game do all the talking. They are kind and courteous others, and when asked to help some one who has problems with their game they do so freely. To sum it up they ambassadors of the sport and represent it tactfully and professionally.

Now there is nothing wrong with matching up and gambling, but a player like I am describing doesn't have to steal, they understand there is nothing wrong with a fair game.
