What is your pool nickname?

well as you may guess mine is "jedi"

this is due to the way i wave my hands around trying to make the balls slow down speed up go a bit to the left ect

my mates dont seem to have realised it does NOT work

if only it did !!!! :D
 
Nicknames

I have had 3 since I was a kid.

1) 'Mako' was the first, meaning 'lil shark'. I was about 17 when I got this one.
2) 'Lil Scotman' was the 2nd, because I am Scottish, and my name is Scott.
3) 'Snapshot' was given to me by Skeet Bushor, TD and publisher of the Indianapolis Billiard News, back in September 1996 when I beat Brian Groce in the finals of a tournament there in Indy. I lived there about a year & a half on a consulting job.
 
The recently gave me the nickname "socks" at the place i play league now because i take my shoes off and play in my socks.
 
"Monk"

I believe my friends started calling me this because I have some buddhist tattoos. Also because I never seemed to get fazed by mistakes, sharking, etc.
 
Was Mouse for along while because my last name is Mouser. The last several years its Moose, like the moose is loose, kinda how I play. Gotta love or hate it.

MOOSE

Nick Name

First of all to clear up one thing, I'm from Iowa not Alaska.

I had been to 4 or 5 big tournaments in about 3 months 2 in Sioux City, and 2 or 3 in Desmoines. I won 1 of these tournament, and placed in the top 12 of the rest. All the best players in the state were at all these tournaments. There was also an old man who had been to all of these tournaments, and he was respected by all the players who knew him, Scott Frost being one. Well he watched be play alot of matches over that 3 month period. He saw me Beat Scott Frost in Sioux City, along with every other player there. Well at a Mcdermott tour event at the Super Toad in Desmoines, I played Scott Saturday night, He won in what was a perfectly played match 9-7. I won my next match to get into the sunday re-draw. I played Scott the next morning in a 20 minute may lay, 9-1 Scott I didn't wimper one bit. I won enough matches to play Mike Gulasi(maker of the sledgehammer). I ran the first 2 racks, then jumped the table, he got up and ran 7, he jumped the table, as he got back to his chair, he wispered way too loud to someone, watch this kid choke, I then ran 7 and out. The next match was for 3rd place. I broke and ran 4 racks, jumped the table, that guy got up, and ran 9 racks and out on me, and thats how I got introduced to Dave Matlock. The old man came up to me and introduce himself, and said he had a nickname for me "The Alaskan Assassan" because he said I was as cold as ice, and I shot lights out. Now I think its because I'm as pale as snow, and I shoot my mouth off:D . I spell it wrong on purpose by the way. It's because of a tournament I won and they gave me a jacket with the nick name spelled wrong. Kind of funny to me.

Any one from Iowa that doesn't remember me, I was the fat kid with the baby face.
 
DUCK!

I think the rails need to be taller to keep all them pesky balls from flying off the table. :) J/K, guess I'm not good enough to have a pool nickname. :(
 
My nickname was Stones.

I got it about 25 years ago in Houston. When I played for money, I didn't consider it gambling. It was my business.

I guess I had the patience of Job because I could sit on the rail for days while being woofed at and not take a game unless I knew I could win.

I didn't book to many losers and the other players started saying I had to have "the stone cold nuts" to play.

One out going, very loud player started calling me "Stoney" or "Stones" ever time he saw me and it just stuck.

Could have been worse, they might have called me "Nuts".
 
Panky

Well, mine was given to me by Dianne Crane..I believe Dianne & Wade are still married??? Back before they were together in the summer of 91, I worked @ Champs in Dallas. Spent the better part of 2 yrs. almost living in there 24-7. In a short time Manny, Ricky, Dianne, CJ, Ben, and almost every one else in the place was calling me Hanky, or Hanky Panky. It just kind of stuck. Man those were the days, I wish I could say hi to those folks again.

Hanky
 
Apparently I have two.

One friend introduces me as "The Professor" although I'm certainly not one. Must be the glasses, or maybe the way I pot some balls. Whatever.

The other one is "Trouble"... As in "Uh, oh, here comes Trouble." Haven't got a clue 'bout that one. :D
 
For a while they were calling me Whiskey Joe in my old bar. Cus my first name is Joseph of course and because on my very first match in our first bar league i was so nervous that I was trying to kill my "butterflies" with Jamison whiskey. But the games got pushed back because some teams hadn't showed up for the rules and stuff, so I continued to practice and drink. By the time the matches started I was not only feeling loose, silly, and bold as hell, but I was beating everyone that I was practicing with. I ended up winning all my games that night and even stayed super late after league drinking and playing our resident badass team, The Three Amigos. The headache the next day wasn't worth it, so I stopped drinking all together when I played and thusly, lost my nickname.

They just call me Stew now, but every once in a while they bring up my old whiskey days. All I can do is laugh.
